| Abstract: |
A clip for attaching a small flashlight to one of the temples of a spectacle frame is made in two parts, one part being adapted to be mounted on a spectacle temple and the other part supports a small penlight. The first part has a temple-engaging portion and two clips projecting therefrom to closely embrace a temple. The light support part has a light-engaging portion having two pairs of substantially semicircular spring arms for embracing the substantially round penlight and has a projecting headed stud at one end adapted to be engaged in a supporting socket which is supported by the temple-engaging portion. The light-engaging portion has a spring-tongue bent back against itself adapted to adjustably and frictionally engage a vertically disposed projection supported by the temple-engaging portion. When the flashlight used has a pocket clip switch adapted to turn the light on when pressed, the light may be controlled by turning it in the encircling spring arms to depress the clip switch.

I claim:
1. A clip of resilient material for supporting a penlight alongside of a spectacle temple, comprising a first temple-engaging 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.
