Abstract

A site light including a body, a handle assembly coupled to the body and including one or more handle portions, an arm having a first end fixedly coupled to the body and a second end opposite the first end to define an arm length therebetween, where the second end of the arm is movable relative to the body to adjust the arm length. The site light also includes a light assembly coupled to and movable together with the second end of the arm relative to the body where the arm defines an arm axis, and where the handle assembly surrounds the arm axis.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A site light comprising:
a body; a handle assembly coupled to the body, wherein the handle assembly includes one or more handle portions; an arm, the arm having a first end fixedly coupled to the body and a second end opposite the first end to define an arm length therebetween, wherein the second end of the arm is movable relative to the body to adjust the arm length; and a light assembly coupled to and movable together with the second end of the arm relative to the body, the light assembly being movable by the arm between a first position, in which the light assembly is positioned below the handle assembly, and a second position, in which the light assembly is positioned above the handle assembly; and wherein the arm defines an arm axis, and wherein the handle assembly surrounds the arm axis.

2 . The site light of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a base, and wherein the handle assembly is coupled to the body opposite the base.

3 . The site light of claim 1 , wherein the body includes one or more wheels rotatably coupled to the body, and wherein the handle assembly is coupled to the body opposite the wheels.

4 . The site light of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a plurality of panels at least partially enclosing a volume therein.

5 . The site light of claim 4 , wherein the handle assembly is offset axially from the plurality of panels along the arm axis.

6 . The site light of claim 5 , wherein the light assembly is movable between a stowed position, in which at least a portion of the light assembly is positioned axially between the handle assembly and the plurality of panels, and a second position, in which an entirety of the light assembly is positioned on an axially opposite side of the handle assembly from the plurality of panels.

7 . The site light of claim 1 , wherein the light assembly is movable relative to the body axially along the arm axis.

8 . The site light of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a base, wherein the light assembly is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position, wherein the site light defines an axial height relative to the arm axis when the light assembly is in the stowed position, wherein the site light defines a geometric center plane midway along the axial height, wherein the site light defines a center of gravity, and wherein the center of gravity is positioned axially between the base and the geometric center plane.

9 . The site light of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a plurality of tracks forming a corresponding distal end, and wherein the handle assembly is coupled to the distal end of at least one track.

10 . A site light comprising:
a body, wherein the body includes a base and a plurality of panels at least partially enclosing a volume therein; an arm having a first end fixedly coupled to the body and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the second end is movable relative to the first end, and wherein the arm defines an arm axis; a light assembly coupled to the second end of the arm, wherein the light assembly is movable between a stowed position and one or more extended positions; and wherein the site light defines an axial height taken relative to the arm axis when the light assembly is in the stowed position, wherein the site light defines a geometric center plane midway along the axial height, and wherein the site light defines a center of gravity that is positioned between the geometric center plane and the base.

11 . The site light of claim 10 , wherein the body includes a channel formed therein and open to the exterior thereof, the site light further comprising a leg assembly coupled to the body and including a leg having a contact surface, wherein the leg assembly is adjustable between a stowed position, in which at least a portion of the contact surface of the leg is positioned within the channel, and a deployed position in which the contact surface of the leg is positioned outside the channel.

12 . The site light of claim 11 , wherein the leg is substantially parallel to the channel when the leg assembly is in the stowed position.

13 . The site light of claim 10 , further comprising a wheel coupled to the body proximate the base.

14 . The site light of claim 10 , wherein the body includes a plurality of leg assemblies each independently adjustable relative to the body, wherein each leg assembly includes a leg having a contact surface, and wherein each contact surface may be independently positioned at a different axial offset distance from the base.
