Abstract:
A grilling tool may include tongs having arms and a hinge that pivotally connects proximal ends of the arms to each other. The arms may be configured to be moved between a closed position wherein distal ends of the arms are in close proximity, and an open position wherein the distal ends of the arms are spaced apart from each other. In addition, a flashlight may be mounted to an interior of the tongs. The flashlight may have an electrical switch that is configured to be accessed from an exterior of the tongs and actuated between on and off positions. The flashlight may include a body with a body axis, a head at a distal end of the body, and the head has a head axis that is not co-axial with the body axis. The distal ends of the arms may be located adjacent fringes of a light beam.

Claim (Index 15):
The tool of  claim 14  wherein:\n the tongs further comprise a locking mechanism having a locked position wherein the arms are locked in a closed position, and an unlocked position wherein the arms are free to pivot about the hinge; \n the locking mechanism comprises a pin that is movable between the locked and unlocked positions by gravity, without manual actuation of the pin by a user; \n the locking mechanism is configured to be put in the locked position by pointing the distal ends of the arms upward such that the pin slides into the locked position to lock the arms from movement, and to be put in the unlocked position by pointing the distal ends of the arms downward such that the pin slides out of the locked position to unlock the arms so that the arms can be pivotally actuated; and \n the electrical switch is positioned to be actuatable by a digit of a user's hand when the tongs are held in said hand.
