referring to fig1 the lamp 11 includes a bar clamp 13 and a pair of halogen lamp units 15 , 16 . the clamp includes a slide bar 19 , and a pair of jaws 21 , 22 . jaw 21 is a fixed jaw and is attached at one end of the slide bar 14 by a fastener 25 . jaw 22 is a moving jaw and is a part of a handle / grip assembly 27 . protective pads 29 are placed on the jaws 21 , 22 . the protective pads 29 preferably resilient material , which reduces damage to clamped surfaces and assists in clamping effect . a trigger handle 33 operating against a driving lever 35 and a braking lever 37 are used to effect clamping . unclamping and free retraction of the handle / grip assembly 27 can be achieved by moving the braking lever 37 . a description of the operation of the clamp itself is described in u . s . pat . no . 4 , 926 , 722 . in the case of the present invention , a mounting structure is selected for clamping instead of a workpiece , although the clamp 13 could be used for ordinary workpiece clamping functions . the mounting structure may be a part of a building structure , table , ladder or the like . when the mounting surface is clamped between the jaws 21 , 22 , the movable jaw 22 can be advanced toward the fixed jaw 21 either in one continuous motion , or by operating the trigger handle 33 in a series of strokes of length to be determined by the user . large strokes may be used at first and small strokes later as the desired pressure is applied to the workpiece . during this advancing operation , the braking lever 37 prevents any backward motion of the slide bar 19 after each advance has been completed . at any time when the user desires to open the bar clamp , it is only necessary to pull on the movable jaw 22 away from the fixed jaw 21 while simultaneously pressing on the braking lever 37 . the fixed jaw 21 is provided with a first mounting hole 41 . a mounting bracket 43 is fastened to the fixed jaw 21 at the first mounting hole 41 . halogen lamp unit 15 is , in turn , mounted to the mounting bracket 43 so that the lamp unit 15 is carried by the fixed jaw 21 . a mounting boss 55 is fixed to the slide bar 19 at a free end 57 of the slide bar 19 . a second mounting bracket 63 is fastened to the mounting boss 55 and lamp unit 16 is , in turn , mounted to a second mounting bracket 63 . in the preferred embodiment , the mounting boss 55 is fusion bonded to the slide bar 19 . it is alternatively possible to provide a mounting hole 73 in the slide bar 19 . this is readily accomplished because in the bar clamp described in u . s . pat . no . 4 , 926 , 722 , a transverse pin is used to retain the handle / grip assembly 27 on the slide bar 19 . by fastening mounting bracket 63 directly to the slide bar 19 , it is possible to eliminate the transverse pin . referring to fig2 each lamp unit 15 , 16 include a halogen light fixture housing 81 which contains a halogen light source 83 within a reflector cavity 85 . the lamp unit 15 may also include a glass face plate 87 held in relation to the housing 81 via mounting clips 89 . a wire guard or metal grid 91 mounted in spaced relation with the face plate glass 87 protects the glass against breakage from impact . the lamp unit 15 carries mounting swivel 93 which enables the lamp unit 15 to pivot . a rotation joint 95 permits further rotation . both the mounting swivel 93 and rotation joint 95 form pivotal connections , in that they permit articulation of the lamp units 15 , 16 . such articulation can be referred to as pivoting and the pivoting may include swivelling movement or single axis rotation according to particular design of the articulating joint . the particular arrangement of the swivel 93 and rotation joint 95 is a matter of design convenience , and either component may be fixed to the lamp unit 15 , 16 . in addition , it is possible to combine one or more of the features of the swivel 93 and rotation joint 95 with those of the mounting bracket 43 or 63 . an electrical housing 97 is provided either as a part of the housing 81 or as a separate unit . there are several options for mounting the electrical housing 97 , including below the housing 81 , as an integral part of the housing 81 or behind the housing 81 below the bulb connection . it is also possible to use electrical housing 97 to mount the lamp units 15 , 16 such as shown in u . s . pat . no . 5 , 510 , 970 . an electrical cord 99 is allowed to pass through an opening into the electrical housing 97 , and is connected to the light source 83 through an appropriate switch assembly 99 . in the preferred embodiment , the electrical cord 99 is a three - wire medium capacity electrical cord having sixteen gauge wiring . the far end of the cord on one of the lamp units 15 terminates in a standard three - prong plug 103 which is adapted to be inserted into a conventional household electrical service outlet . that lamp also has a socket 105 , which may be fixed to the electrical housing 97 , on electrical cord 101 or another cord ( not shown ). the far end of the cord on the other lamp unit 16 terminates in a three - prong plug and also has a three - prong socket 105 attached . this allows one lamp unit 15 or 16 to plug into the other , thereby enabling electrical supply connection with a single plug connected to a service outlet . in another embodiment , a single line cord with a standard three - prong plug 103 is provided from one of the lamps 15 . a second line cord ( not shown ) interconnects the two lamp units 15 , 16 . it is possible to provide sockets 105 for both lamp units 15 , 16 . there are a number of ways to connect the two lights to a power source , and the particular configuration will be one of manufacturing and user convenience . it is possible to use a separate junction box ( not shown ) or a molded junction ( not shown ). advantageously , if a free socket outlet 105 is provided , the lamp 11 also functions as an extension cord . since the bar clamp 13 can be used to provide a secure temporary mounting , it is possible to plug electrical equipment into the lamp 11 without tipping the lamp , provided the bar clamp 13 is appropriately mounted to an external structure . the mounting swivel 93 and rotation joint 95 may be attached as an assembly directly to the light fixture housing 81 , as shown or to the electrical housing 97 . in either case , the bar clamp 13 secures the lamp 11 generally between the two lamp units 15 , 16 . if light is to be projected in a direction to one side of a clamped structure , the arrangement of the lamp units 15 , 16 on the clamp 13 permits a fair amount of freedom of movement in focusing one of the lamp units 15 , 16 . the other one of the lamp units 15 , 16 must be positioned to focus light past the clamped structure , but the swivel 93 and rotation joint 95 facilitate this . there are a number of design options for attaching the lamp units 15 , 16 to the bar clamp 13 , although it is desirable that both lamp units 13 , 16 be positionable with respect to the bar clamp 13 . the arrangement of the present invention also permits the bar clamp 13 to be used to secure a workpiece in a clamped condition . this facilitates using the lamp units 15 , 16 to apply heat to the workpiece . since the lamp units 15 , 16 are secured to the clamp 13 , they can conveniently be directed to a glue joint or other location on the workpiece if application of heat or light energy is desired . conveniently , the design of the lamp units 15 , 16 is such that they are sufficiently waterproof for use in outdoor locations . the face plate glass 87 is suitably sealed against the housing 81 , and the remaining components are such that the lamp units 15 , 16 are suitable for use in outdoor environments . within the interior of the electrical housing 97 , the electrical cord 101 has a ground lead electrically connected to the body of the electrical housing 97 , thereby providing a grounded connection . in addition , the cord 101 is preferably appropriately sealed for outdoor use . to use the lamp according to the present invention , the clamp is secured to a mounting surface , and the lamp units 15 , 16 are plugged into a suitable service outlet . each lamp unit 15 may then be swiveled about its swivel 93 and rotated around rotation joint 95 to provide a desired orientation and direction for optimal lighting conditions . the swivel 93 and the rotation joint 95 each provide ability to articulate the lamp units 15 , 16 . the lamp units 15 , 16 may be interchanged and may be placed at other locations on the clamp , including on the movable jaw 22 . although the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described herein , it is intended to be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and omissions in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims .
