ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to holders to support a light and more particularly, portable lights.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Portable lights are used in a wide variety of applications but more particularly, in industry. For example, in the automotive industry, portable lights are used to illuminate areas beneath motor vehicles.
Previously available devices which support portable lights have suffered from the disadvantage that frequently they cannot be secured in a desired position and further, may not be properly support.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
It is the object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate at least one of the above disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
There is disclosed herein a holder to support a portable light, said holder including:
a base;
at least one strap attached to the base adapted to pass around the object to secure the object to the base;
a magnetic portion to attach the holder to a steel surface so that the object secured thereto is located adjacent the surface; and
a bridge portion attaching the magnetic portion to the base, such that the magnetic portion and said base are spaced from and parallel to one another.
Preferably, the magnetic portion extends in a first direction from the bridge portion and the base extends in a direction opposite to the direction of extension of the magnetic portion.
Preferably, said magnetic portion and said base extend in opposite directions away from said bridge portion.
