Patent ID: 7178847

Claim:
A tweezer apparatus, comprising: (a) an elongated housing formed of any electrically conductive metal having a cavity of a predetermined size said housing having a lens securement frame adjacent one end thereof; (b) a magnifying lens carried within said securement frame said lens defining a given focal range; (c) a light source mounted within the cavity of said housing and positioned such that the path of illumination emanating there from passes through said focal range; (d) a pair of tweezers formed of any electrically conductive metal, one end of said tweezers being pivotally mounted within the cavity of said housing, such that said tweezers can be pivoted from a storage position within said cavity to an operative position within said focal range of said lens and the path of illumination of said light source; (e) a battery power source carried by said housing; (f) means to carry current from said battery power supply such that contact to said means by said metal tweezers when pivoted to an operative position will activate said light source; whereby a single motion of pivoting said tweezers downwardly will concurrently activate said light source, bring said tweezers into said focal length of said magnify lens and into the illumination path of said light source such that the gripping ends of said tweezers are concurrently magnified and illuminated to facilitate visibility thereof.
