Patent ID: 7513662

Claim:
A portable light for mounting on a support comprising: an anchor formed with a housing portion as a portion of the anchor, the housing enclosing a power source; a head hingedly connected on a top face of the anchor, the head including a light source and wherein the head is for clipping an engagement into an indent formed on the top face of the anchor; a switch for the light source, the activation of the switch being effected by the location of the head relative to the position of anchor; a protrusion relatively fixed on an under plate of the head, the protrusion being for extending through an aperture in the top face of the anchor to operate the switch when the protrusion moves between a position relative to the anchor thereby to activate the switch between closure and opening; and a base hingedly connected with the anchor at a position on the opposite side of the anchor from the light source, and the movement of the base relative to the anchor permits securing of the portable light with the support or removal of the portable light from the support such that the material for the support is locatable between the base and the anchor, and thereby the light is secured on the opposing side of the anchor from the base and allowing the light to distend upwardly from the top face of the anchor.
