ABSTRACT:
A head-gear-light holder has a leaf-spring strap that is sized and shaped cylindrically to be wrapped circumferentially around a cylindrical outside periphery of a flashlight body. Opposite circumferential ends of the leaf-spring strap are extended perpendicularly to an axis of a cylindrical shape of the leaf-spring strap at circumferential positions between which a gap having a select width is provided for drawing the opposite circumferential ends of the leaf-spring strap together in the gap to tighten a cylindrical inside periphery of the leaf-spring strap against an outside periphery of the flashlight body in a grasping relationship. At least one fastener orifice is provided in each of the opposite circumferential ends of the leaf-spring strap. A threaded end of a fastener shaft is inserted through a fastener orifice in each of the opposite circumferential ends of the leaf-spring strap. A mating-threaded fastener member is then screwed onto the fastener shaft in a direction towards a fastener base with the opposite circumferential ends of the leaf-spring strap positioned intermediate the fastener base and the mating-threaded fastener member such that the opposite circumferential ends of the leaf-spring strap are drawn together in the gap to tighten the leaf-spring strap onto the flashlight body. The fastener shaft can be a fastener bolt positioned on each opposite side of a fire-fighter helmet to hold a faceplate on the fire-fighter helmet. The fastener base can be a portion of fire-fighter helmet crown into which the fastener shaft is screwed. It is described for use on head-gear bands, hats, caps and helmets.
