摘要：
The present invention relates to an adjustable light source holder (100), comprising an inner part (110), in the form of a partly spherical shell (214), configured to house a light source; an outer part (120), in the form of a partly spherical shell (324), configured to house and interact with the partly spherical shell of the inner part; wherein the inner part is tiltable relative to the outer part about an arbitrary tilt axis (130); wherein the inner part (110) is made from an elastic material; and wherein an outer surface (212) of the inner part and/or an inner surface (322) of the outer part comprises a rough portion (416, 426). Methods of manufacturing the adjustable light source holder and related directable spotlight systems are also presented.
技术问题语段：
The technical problem addressed in this patent is the need for an improved adjustable light source holder for directable spotlights in general lighting applications. Current screw-based systems are complex and require additional parts, making them more complicated and difficult to redirect. The invention provides an elastic inner part and an outer part that interact with each other, allowing for easy directional adjustment without the need for additional parts. The rough surface portions on the inner and outer parts provide frictional engagement to maintain the desired orientation between them, even after the force exerted is removed. The invention also allows for easy redirection of the inner part without tools, and the rough portions may be adapted for different purposes such as material choice and manufacture method.
技术功效语段：
The present invention provides an adjustable light source holder for directable spotlights in general lighting applications. The holder comprises an inner part and an outer part that can be tilted relative to each other about an arbitrary tilt axis. The inner part is made from an elastic material and the outer part can be expandable or rigid. The rough portions on the inner and outer parts provide frictionally engaging surfaces for easy and secure orientation of the spotlight. The invention allows for easy and hand-held redirection of the spotlight without the need for additional parts or tools. The rough portions can be one or more of ribbed, brushed, or dotted structures or textures. The technical effects of the invention include improved control and orientation of spotlights, reduced complexity of the system, and increased effectiveness of the rough portions in frictionally engaging the parts.

CLAIMS:
1. An adjustable light source holder (100), comprising:
an inner part (110), in the form of a partly spherical shell (214), configured to house a light source;
an outer part (120), in the form of a partly spherical shell (324), configured to house and interact with the partly spherical shell (214) of the inner part (110);
wherein the inner part (110) is tiltable relative to the outer part (120) about an arbitrary tilt axis (130);
wherein the inner part (110) is made from an elastic material; and wherein an outer surface (212) of the inner part (110) and/or an inner surface (322) of the outer part (120) comprises a rough portion (416, 426) for providing frictional engagement between the inner and outer parts (110, 120).
2. The adjustable light source holder according to claim 1, wherein both the outer surface (212) of the inner part (110) and the inner surface (322) of the outer part (120) comprises a rough portion (416, 426).
3. The adjustable light source holder according to claim 2, wherein the rough portions (416, 426) of the inner and outer parts (110, 120) are overlapping.
4. The adjustable light source holder according to any one of claims 1-3, wherein a rough portion (416, 426) covers at least 70%, preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, most preferably at least 95%, of the respective surface (212, 322).
5. The adjustable light source holder according to any one of claims 1-4, wherein the rough portions (416, 426) are one or more of ribbed, brushed and dotted, structures or textures.
6. A method of manufacturing the adjustable light source holder (100) according to any one of claims 1-5, the method comprising:
concurrent fused deposition modelling the inner and outer parts (110,120) with the inner part (110) positioned inside the outer part (120).
7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the concurrent fused deposition modelling is designed such that the inner part (110) cannot be disassembled from the outer part (120).
8. The method according to any one of claims 6 and 7, wherein the rough portions (416, 426) of the inner and/or outer parts (110, 120) are formed during the fused deposition modelling.
9. A directable spotlight comprising the adjustable light source holder (100) according to any one of claims 1-5 and a light source (640). 10. The directable spotlight according to claim 9, wherein the outer part (120) of the adjustable light source holder (100) is fixedly mounted to a substrate (650).
