ABSTRACT:
A quick-release mounting mechanism for a worklight enabling the worklight to be quickly and easily mounted on and demounted from a tripod support stand and enabling an individual worklight head to be quickly and easily mounted on and demounted from a base stand or other support member such as the handle of a spring clamp or other clamp member. The mounting mechanism includes a latch member on the worklight base or on an individual worklight head that cooperates with an actuator mounted in the support stand or other support member. The latch member is received in a hole in the support and the actuator is formed to engage a catch on the latch member when the worklight or individual worklight head is in position on the support. In particular, the actuator is mounted in the support for movement between a latching position and a release position, and the latch member and actuator are formed to engage one another when the actuator is in its latching position so as to hold the worklight or individual worklight head on the support. A spring arrangement in the support urges the actuator into its latching position, and the actuator is provided with an engagement member by which a user can urge the actuator into its release position for quick release of the worklight or the head from the support.
