Assignee:

TBS Scientific LLC - Brighton MI

International Classification:

H01K 3/32
F21V 19/04

Abstract:

The present invention is a device for installing and removing partially obstructed, upward-facing lightbulbs. It is comprised of a gripping element, a weight, a flexible rotary shaft having two ends, and an extension pole having two ends. The gripping element, itself, is comprised of a hollow, three-dimensional gripping element body having an inner and outer surface and a plurality of flexible, tactile members. The hollow, three-dimensional gripping element body is open at one end and closed at the other. At the open end, the plurality of flexible, tactile members are arranged about a peripheral rim at the opening. When the device is placed over a lightbulb, the flexible, tactile members capture the lightbulb. Rotating the extension pole will cause the lightbulb to rotate.

Abstract:

A device for installing and removing lightbulbs comprises a removable gripping element including fingers configured for gripping a lightbulb, a telescopic cylinder coupled to the gripping element, wherein the telescopic cylinder is adjustable to different lengths, and a base housing, comprising: an electric motor located within the housing, a battery, a coupler for coupling the motor to the telescopic cylinder, the coupler comprising a tubular element, wherein the rotating shaft of the electric motor is inserted into an orifice in the first end, and wherein the second end is inserted into the proximal end of the telescopic cylinder, a cylindrical element that surrounds at least a portion of the tubular element, and at least one flange that connects the cylindrical element to the tubular element. The base housing also includes a switch on an exterior surface, the switch for activating power to the electric motor, wherein upon activation of power to the electric motor, the electric motor rotates the shaft, resulting in rotation of the coupler, the telescopic cylinder and the gripping element, thereby rotating a lightbulb to which the gripping element is attached.
