ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a combination of a flexible arm with a collet assembly. The assembly includes an elongated flexible arm or tube with a collet at one end and a releasable mounting assembly integral with the opposed end. The collet is arranged to grippingly receive and retain a tubular work item therein, such as a flashlight, magnifying glass or lense, clamping retainer, or the like, with the work device having a circular cross-section and in the form of a tube, sleeve, cylindrical shaft, or the like. The releasable retaining mechanism includes a prong and socket assembly, with the prong portion being preferably integral with the flexible arm, and with the socket portion being adapted to releasably retain the prong and accordingly the flexible arm and collet assembly. The collet is provided with an outer external ring which slidingly engages with the internal gripping fingers, thereby simplifying the attachment to the working device.
