Patent ID: 7905623

Claim:
An illumination device comprising: a housing ( 10 ) comprising a base ( 11 ) including a battery compartment ( 115 ) an inverted V-shaped cavity ( 111 ) formed on an underside, the inverted V-shaped cavity ( 111 ) having two opposite first receiving spaces ( 112 ) on both inclined sides, two second receiving spaces ( 113 ) on the underside of the base ( 11 ) and spaced from both sides of the inverted V-shaped cavity ( 111 ), two spaced third receiving spaces ( 114 ) formed on an outer surface of the base ( 11 ) and being disposed above the inverted V-shaped cavity ( 111 ), and two opposite slit projections ( 116 ) on a bottom edge of the base ( 11 ) adjacent the second receiving spaces ( 113 ) respectively; and a cover ( 12 ) releasably secured to the base ( 11 ), the cover ( 12 ) including a flat ( 123 ) on a circumferential surface, the flat ( 123 ) being adjacent the third receiving spaces ( 114 ); a strap ( 41 ) having one end hingedly secured to one projection ( 116 ) and comprising a hook and loop fabric fastener ( 411 ) at the other end; first, second, and third magnetic members ( 31 , 32 , 33 ) disposed in the first, second, and third receiving spaces ( 112 , 113 , 114 ) respectively; and a light emitting assembly ( 20 ) comprising a plurality of cells ( 21 ) disposed in the battery compartment ( 115 ), a circuit board ( 22 ) disposed on the cells ( 21 ) and electrically connected thereto, a switch ( 24 ) electrically connected to the circuit board ( 22 ) and partially protruding out of a top of the cover ( 12 ), and light emitting means ( 23 ) electrically connected to the circuit board ( 22 ) and projecting out of the cover ( 12 ), wherein (i) a first type of metal tool ( 2 ) can be disposed in the inverted V-shaped cavity ( 111 ) and adhered to the first magnetic members ( 31 ) such that causing the strap ( 41 ) to support the first type of metal tool ( 2 ) from below and wrapping the strap ( 41 ) around the other projection ( 116 ) to secure to the hook and loop fabric fastener ( 411 ) will secure the first type of metal tool ( 2 ) and the housing ( 1 ) together; or (ii) the second magnetic members ( 32 ) can be adhered to a second type of metal tool ( 3 ).
