The clip apparatus includes a biasing member structured to be coupled to and flex with respect to the elongated body, a light emitting component coupled to the biasing member, a power source located internal with respect to the biasing member and configured to energize the light emitting component, and a button mechanism coupled to the biasing member and configured to activate the power source in order to energize the light emitting component.
Claims18
A clip apparatus for use with a faucet tool, said faucet tool comprising an elongated body, said clip apparatus comprising:
- a head portion extending between a first end and a second end, said first end comprising a prong, said second end configured to receive a fastener;
- a biasing member extending from said second end of said head portion and structured to be coupled to and flex with respect to said elongated body;
- a light emitting component disposed internal with respect to said head portion;
- a power source disposed internal with respect to said head portion and configured to energize said light emitting component;
- and
- a button mechanism coupled to said head portion and configured to activate said power source in order to energize said light emitting component.
A faucet tool comprising:
- an elongated body;
- a first tool member and a second tool member each coupled to the body;
- and
- a clip apparatus comprising:
- a biasing member coupled to and structured to flex with respect to the body,
- a light emitting component coupled to said biasing member,
- a power source disposed internal with respect to said biasing member and configured to energize said light emitting component, and
- a button mechanism coupled to said biasing member and configured to activate said power source in order to energize said light emitting component;
- wherein the body of said faucet tool has a longitudinal axis, and wherein said light emitting component is configured to emit light from an origin in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- wherein said biasing member is an elongated clip-having:
- a head portion having a first end, a second end, a top, and a bottom, wherein the head portion is coupled to said body at a wider portion of said body, and
- a tail portion disposed distally from said head portion along said longitudinal axis, wherein said light emitting component is disposed in said head portion, and wherein said tail portion extends from said head portion, terminates proximate a narrow middle portion of said body, and is spaced from the body at said narrow middle portion.
