Magnetic support for flashlight

A magnetically attachable light adapted to be removably supported upon steel or iron-containing objects by firm magnetic connection and comprising in combination, a base plate of flat geometric configuration, flat elastomeric magnet means affixed to one surface of said plate, a yoke affixed to the opposite surface of said plate and extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom, an elongated arm pivotally attached at one end to said yoke, an elastic C-shaped metallic clamp member complementary to the body portion of a battery-type flashlight and comprising an elongated substantially shallow channel connected to and supporting three similar pairs of relatively narrow curved arms connected at one end respectively to opposite sides of said channel and respectively comprising individual C-shaped clamp members spaced longitudinally along said channel, and adapted to releasably engage said body portion at spaced intervals therealong and support said flashlight coaxially with said clamp member, and a swivel unit having a first member connected to said clamp member and a second member pivotally connected to the other end of said arm, whereby a flashlight when mounted in said clamp member is capable of universal positioning relative to a supporting object to which said magnet means is attached.
