ABSTRACT:
A hand-held light is provided having a belt carrying clip secured thereto to enable the ready removability of the light from a carrying position on a person's belt. The light includes a housing provided with an illumnable lamp having an exposed face from which light is emitted. Secured to the housing is a clip having an elongated, relatively narrow, belt-engaging portion that is formed from a structurally rigid material. The clip is rigidly secured at its one end to the housing and extends in superposed, overlying relationship to the face of the illuminable lamp. The belt engaging portion of the clip is positioned in relatively spaced relationship to the face of the lamp to admit the thickness of the carrying belt between the clip and the face of the lamp but is designed to frictionally interengage with said belt to retain the lamp in supported relationship.
A belt mounting sheath is also provided for utilization in cooperation with the light and its associated carrying clip for use alternatively in securing the light to a belt. The sheath includes a pocket for receiving the clip therein with the face of the lamp bearing against an outer surface of the sheath. The clip is formed with an enlarged marginal end portion overlying the lamp face which cooperatively interengages with the pocket of the sheath to reduce the likelihood of inadvertent removal of the lamp from the sheath.
