Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A portable lighting system includes a housing with a lower surface, walls extending from the lower surface, and a cavity defined by the lower surface and the walls. The cavity is divided into a first space and a second space. A light body is coupled to the housing for movement between a first position, in which the light body encloses the first space, and a second position, in which the light body allows access to the first space. A battery is removably received in the second space.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A portable lighting system comprising: a housing including: a lower surface, walls extending from the lower surface, and a cavity defined by the lower surface and the walls, the cavity being divided into a first space and a second space; a light body coupled to the housing for movement between a first position, in which the light body encloses the first space, and a second position, in which the light body allows access to the first space; and a battery removably received in the second space. 2. The portable lighting system of claim 1 , further comprising a hinge pivotably coupling the light body to the housing for rotation about a first axis. 3. The portable lighting system of claim 2 , wherein the light body is rotatably coupled to the hinge for rotation about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. 4. The portable lighting system of claim 1 , further comprising a cover pivotably coupled to the housing for movement between a closed position, in which the cover encloses the second space, and an open position, in which the cover allows access to the second space. 5. The portable lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the lower surface includes a set of projections extending away from the lower surface, and wherein the housing is configured to be coupled to another structure having a set of depressions that is complementary to the set of projections. 6. The portable lighting system of claim 5 , wherein the light body is a panel light including a front face, a rear face, and a light source operable to emit light from the front face, and wherein the rear face includes a second set of depressions that have a complementary configuration to the set of projections. 7. The portable lighting system of claim 5 , further comprising a cover selectively coupled to the housing, wherein the cover includes a second set of depressions that have a complementary configuration to the set of projections. 8. The portable lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the light body is a panel light including a front face, a rear face, and a light source operable to emit light from the front face, and wherein the front face faces into the first space when the light body is in the first position.
