ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a quick mounting system for use with a work light. More specifically, the invention relates to a mount which releasably affixes a light housing to a support structure such as stand, clamp, or other support means.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the work light field, there are many types of halogen work lights with several common ones, being a stand light, a portable floor light, and a clamp light. A stand light, as the name suggests, uses a stand to elevate a light housing, in most instances, several feet off the ground for use. A portable floor light, on the other hand, is often placed upon a floor through the use of a base or legs which typically elevate the light no more than several inches off of the floor. A clamp light has a light housing affixed to a clamp which, in turn, may be affixed to a wide variety of objects.
The present invention provides a mounting system which allows a typical light housing to be quickly and easily mounted to any number of different support structures such as a stand, base, legs, clamp, and the like. The mounting system does this by providing a post which has a groove on the support structure. The light housing, in turn, includes a bracket which has a catch. The catch is adapted to releasably engage the post for ease of mounting and dismounting.
