Abstract
An embodiment provides a handheld implement, including: an elongated handle comprising a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end; an implement head located at and mechanically attached to one of: the first end and the second end; and a light source mechanically coupled to and along a longitudinal axis of the elongated handle, wherein the light source is positioned at a location on the elongated handle such that a least a portion of light that emits from the light source illuminates an area proximate to the implement head. Other aspects are claimed and described.
Claims17
A handheld implement, comprising:
- an elongated handle comprising a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end;
- an implement head located at and mechanically attached to one of:
- the first end and the second end;
- and
- a light source mechanically coupled to, via an attachment mechanism, an external portion of and along a longitudinal axis of the elongated handle, wherein the light source is removable from the attachment mechanism, wherein the light source is positioned at a location on the elongated handle such that a least a portion of light that emits from the light source illuminates an area proximate to the implement head, wherein the attachment mechanism is removable from the elongated handle and positionable at a plurality of locations along the longitudinal axis of the elongated handle, and wherein the attachment mechanism receives and holds the light source utilizing contoured arms, wherein a first of the contoured arms is positioned on one side of the light source when the light source is located within the attachment mechanism and wherein a second of the contoured arms is positioned on another side of the light source substantially opposite the first contoured arm.
A handheld implement, comprising:
- an elongated handle comprising a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end;
- an implement head located at and mechanically attached to one of:
- the first end and the second end;
- a light source mechanically coupled to an external portion of and along a longitudinal axis of the elongated handle wherein the light source is positioned at a location on the elongated handle such that a least a portion of light that emits from the light source illuminates an area proximate to the implement head, wherein the light source is mechanically coupled to the elongated handle via a clip removable from the elongated handle and positionable at a plurality of locations along the longitudinal axis of the elongated handle and wherein a portion of the clip squeezes the elongated handle, wherein the light source is removable from the clip, wherein the clip receives and holds the light source utilizing contoured arms, wherein a first of the contoured arms is positioned on one side of the light source when the light source is located within the attachment mechanism and wherein a second of the contoured arms is positioned on another side of the light source substantially opposite the first contoured arm;
- a beam-size of the light source of the light source being user-modifiable;
- and
- a power source powering the light source, wherein the power source is selected from the group consisting of a solar cell and a battery.
