ABSTRACT:
An improved light attachable to a key is provided with a housing and back plate having substantially similar widths between which is secured the head portion of a key. The housing encases a frame formed with recesses to accept a battery, light bulb, contacts and a switch. The frame fits into the back side of the housing such that a flat back side is formed which allows the head of a key which abuts the back side of the housing to overhang the width of the housing. The back plate attaches to the housing by means of a rectangular tab on one edge of the back plate which engages a correspondingly shaped groove in the housing, and by means of a screw from the face of the housing through a hole in the head of the key to the face of the back plate. The back plate is formed so as to have three open sides to similarly allow the head of the key to overhang its width. The key is held in place by the clamping force between the housing and the back plate provided by the screw, and also adhesive material disposed on the back plate to affix the key head to the back plate. Optionally, a bore is provided in the housing and frame to receive and carry a screwdriver used to tighten or remove the screw.
