ABSTRACT:
A light mounting assembly for mounting safety lights on a towing vehicle includes a light carrying portion pivotably mounted to an attaching portion for pivoting the light carrying portion from a disposition normally on the top of the winching frame of the vehicle into a retracted position between the winching frame and the cab of the vehicle. The attaching portion includes a pair of bracket members adapted to be secured to the winching frame intermediate the frame and the cab and includes a rod rotatably carried by and spanning the attaching bracket members. A pair of cam members are fastened to the rod adjacent the attaching bracket members. The light carrying portion has two end members interconnected by a central support bar, and an arm fastened to each end member pivotably connects the end member to the respective attaching bracket member. Each arm includes a dog which cooperates with a notch in a respective cam for locking the dog in the notch, and a spring acts to urge the dogs and notches into locking engagement. Manual rotation of the rod overcomes the bias of the spring to permit the lights to pivot into the retracted position.
