ABSTRACT:
A trouble light which has at the end opposite to the cage a hook that is rotatably mounted to the handle of the trouble light. The rotatable mounting is achieved by the use of a rotation assembly inserted through a hole in the end of the handle of the trouble light. The rotation assembly includes two discs. The first disc is of greater diameter than diameter of the hole in the handle but of lesser diameter than the internal diameter of the handle, and the second disc is of greater diameter than the hole in the handle and of diameter approximating the outside diameter of the handle. The rotation assembly also includes an intermediate cylindrical portion attaching the two discs. The cylindrical intermediate portion has an outside diameter approximating the diameter of the hole in the handle of the trouble light. The length of the cylindrical intermediate portion approximates the thickness of the end wall of the handle so that the adjacent surfaces of the two discs are in frictional contact with the external and internal walls of the hollow handle. A hole sized to allow an electrical cord to be inserted therethrough extends through the rotation assembly. On the circumferential edge of the rotation assembly, a plurality of ears, co-planar with the second disc, extend outwardly to allow for easy rotation of the assembly. Near a circumferential edge, a hook is fixedly attached to the rotation assembly to allow the trouble light to be hooked to an external object and then rotated in the direction of desired illumination.
