  • Patent number: 4907769
    Abstract: A flashlight holder includes a C-shaped clamp that holds a flashlight by friction. The clamp is attached by an angled arm to a tripod that supports the arm in a fixed position of choice. Magnet assemblies in the legs of the tripod are mounted so as to swivel, allowing the flashlight holder to be secured by magnetic force to a ferromagnetic surface. The flashlight holder is preferably made of low-density polypropylene, which is both inexpensive to buy and easy to mold in molds that require little or no relief. The angled arm makes it easy to set a flashlight at any orientation with respect to an iron or steel surface to provide light to work on car and truck engines and the like.
