Abstract:
1. An assembly adapted to receive an object, which assembly when in a closed position bounds an interior region into which at least a portion of the object extends in use, comprising: a. a handle having spaced first and second ends and an exterior surface defining (i) a first curved section having a first radius of curvature, (ii) a second curved section having a second radius of curvature, and (iii) a third section connecting the first and second sections, the intersection of the third section with at least one of the first and second curved sections being continuous and hence not defining any discontinuity of shape; b. an arm connected to the second end and configured so as to abut the first end when the assembly is in the closed position and adapted to be pivoted; and c. a light-emitting device that forms at least part of the third section of the handle that connects the first and second curved sections, the light-emitting device configured to emit light away from the handle to illuminate external surroundings; and in which the third section of the handle comprises means, including a hollow core portion, for receiving and retaining therein at least a portion of a power source for the light-emitting device.
