Flashlight attachment clip for spectacles

Claim 2

A clip of resilient material for supporting a penlight alongside of a spectacle temple, comprising a first templeengaging part and a second penlight-engaging part, the first part having a substantially flat body portion adapted to lie alongside and contact one side of the temple, at least two flat arms projecting from the body portion and adapted to overlie the temple, the ends of the arms being bent sharply downward to engage and grip the other side of the temple, the second part having an arcuate body portion adapted to conform to and lie in contact with a substantially semicylindrical portion of the penlight, a pair of opposite arcuate arms at each end of the arcuate body portion adapted to embrace and grip therebetween a further portion of the perimeter of the penlight, the first part having a relatively short upturned flange at one end spaced from the flat body portion and having a socket hole therethrough, the second part having a cooperating headed stud for pivotal engagement in the socket hole, the first part having a relatively longer flat upturned flange at its other end spaced from the flat body portion, and the second part having a cooperating tongue bent back on itself for frictional engagement with the longer upturned flange, whereby the second part may be angularly adjusted with respect to the first part for adjusting light from the penlight up and down.

Claim 3

In combination, a spectacle frame having temples, a lightweight penlight having a switch including a pocket clip, the switch being turned on when the pocket clip end is pushed against the penlight, and a two part clip of resilient material, the first part having an elongated flat body portion adapted to lie along one side of a temple in contact therewith, the first clip part having at least two flat arms adapted to overlie the temple, the ends of the arms being bent sharply downward to engage and grip the other side of the temple, the second clip part having an arcuate body portion adapted to conform to and lie in contact with a substantially semi-cylindrical portion of the penlight, the arcuate body portion having a pair of opposite arcuate arms at each end adapted to embrace and grip therebetween a further portion of the perimeter of the penlight, the first part having a relatively short upturned flange at one end spaced from the flat body portion and having A socket hole therethrough, the second part having a cooperating headed stud for pivotal engagement in the socket hole, the first part having a relatively longer flat upturned flange at its other end spaced from the flat body portion, and the second part having a cooperating tongue bent back on itself for frictional engagement with the longer upturned flange, and at least one of the arcuate arms of the second part terminating in a portion projecting angularly away from the penlight from its point of tangency thereto when the penlight is engaged between the arcuate arms with its pocket clip aligned with the portion projecting away from the penlight, whereby the pocket clip is cammed against the penlight for turning it on when the penlight is rotated.

Claim 4

In combination, a spectacle frame having temples, a lightweight penlight having a switch including a pocket clip, the switch being turned on when the pocket clip end is pushed against the penlight, and a two part clip of resilient material, the first part having an elongated flat body portion adapted to lie along one side of a temple in contact therewith, the first clip part having at least two flat arms adapted to overlie the temple, the ends of the arms being bent sharply downward to engage and grip the other side of the temple, the second clip part having an arcuate body portion adapted to conform to and lie in contact with a substantially semi-cylindrical portion of the penlight, the arcuate body portion having a pair of opposite arcuate arms at each end adapted to embrace and grip therebetween a further portion of the perimeter of the penlight, the first part having a relatively short upturned flange at one end spaced from the flat body portion and having A socket hole therethrough, the second part having a cooperating headed stud for pivotal engagement in the socket hole, the first part having a relatively longer flat upturned flange at its other end spaced from the flat body portion, and the second part having a cooperating tongue bent back on itself for frictional engagement with the longer upturned flange, and at least one of the arcuate arms of the second part terminating in a portion projecting angularly away from the penlight from its point of tangency thereto when the penlight is engaged between the arcuate arms with its pocket clip aligned with the portion projecting away from the penlight, whereby the pocket clip is cammed against the penlight for turning it on when the penlight is rotated.

Claim 5

The combination of spectacle frame, penlight and two part clip defined in claim 2 having two pairs of flat arms, a first pair of flat arms having bent down ends spaced relatively narrowly from the flat body portion for gripping a comparatively narrow temple of metal, and a second pair of flat arms having bent down ends spaced relatively wider from the flat body portion for gripping a comparatively wider temple of plastic material, whereby the first pair of arms may be removed when the clip is used with a plastic temple.
