What the claims cover, in plain language

Claim 1 - a multifunctional portable ticket clamp plate comprising a bottom plate and a ticket clamp. The plate has a front and back, with a head and tail side. A first lamp groove on the front holds a hinged first lamp plate with a first illuminating lamp. A second light trough on the back holds a hinged second lamp plate with a second illuminating lamp. A waterproof component shields the front from rain. A detachable bottom shell on the back houses a battery and a charging interface. The waterproof component includes a transparent waterproof cloth wound on a winding roller inside the shell, driven by a coil spring, and supported by L-shaped support rods (rain rack). The plate also has a pen socket and buckle for storing a writing pen.

Claim 2 - multiple couplings are provided on the side of the bottom shell away from the charging interface. Claim 3 - specifies the hinge structure for the lamp plates, using hinge rods, hinge holes, and a first spring compressed within the hinge mechanism to provide return force or friction. Claims 4-6 - further define the specific arrangement of the second lamp hinge rods, the battery compartment details, and the interaction between the waterproof cloth’s limiting block and the support rods.

This is a simplified reading for orientation only. The legal scope is defined by the exact claim wording in the official Chinese document.

What this means for US production

This patent was filed only in China and is currently in force there. It has no US or other foreign counterpart. Therefore, the patent itself does not restrict manufacturing or selling this design in the United States. However, since the patent is active in China, making or selling this specific design within China would require permission from the patent owner.

Two points to settle early:

  • Other patents may exist. Field recording devices, ruggedized tablets, and specialized clipboard accessories are patented fields. While this specific combination of a rain-shield and dual-hinged lamps appears unique to this filing, broader patents covering “illuminated writing surfaces” or “retractable protective covers” might exist in the US. A freedom-to-operate (FTO) review is recommended before launching.
  • Battery Safety Standards. Because the device integrates a lithium-ion battery and USB charging, it must comply with strict transport and safety regulations (UN 38.3, UL/IEC standards) regardless of patent status.

Customization and manufacturing

What can be customized

AreaOptions
Light SourceLED color temperature (warm/cool), brightness levels, motion-sensor activation
Battery CapacitymAh size tailored to runtime requirements (e.g., 2000mAh vs 5000mAh)
MaterialABS plastic, aluminum alloy frame, or rubberized coating for grip
Waterproof ClothMaterial transparency, UV resistance, and tensile strength of the spring
ConnectivityAdd Bluetooth module for digital logging, replace USB-C for faster charging
ErgonomicsHandle shape, weight distribution, strap attachment points

Things to plan for (US market)

  • UN 38.3 - Transport testing for lithium batteries required for air and sea shipping.
  • FCC Part 15 - If any wireless modules (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi) are added, certification is mandatory.
  • UL 2054 / IEC 62133 - Safety standards for household and commercial batteries.
  • RoHS / REACH - Restrictions on hazardous substances in plastics and electronics.
  • OSHA Compliance - Ensure materials are durable enough for industrial field use without breaking.

How a project runs

  1. Inquiry - Define target user group (utility, telecom, etc.) and key specs (battery life, IP rating).
  2. Design - CAD modeling of the hinge mechanisms, spring tension calibration, and PCB layout for lights/battery.
  3. Prototype - 3D printed housings and functional electronic mocks to test rain shield deployment and light angles.
  4. Certification - Battery safety tests (UN 38.3) and EMC testing if wireless is included.
  5. Production - Injection molding for plates, assembly of electronic components, spring installation, and final QC.

Quantities & timeline

Tooling for the complex hinge and spring mechanisms requires precision molds. Electronics sourcing (LEDs, batteries, PCBs) dictates lead times. Certification for battery transport adds 4-6 weeks. Send us your target specifications, quantity estimates, and desired certifications and we will reply with options.
