Stitchery light-base and clamp

A stitchery light, comprising:

• means in the form of an arm for supporting a lamp;
• and
• means in the form of a base member for supporting the arm on a stitchery implement so that with the stitchery implement disposed in a horizontal position, the arm extends upwardly where it can be pivoted to a desired position above the stitchery implement;
• the arm extending from a proximal end portion of the arm to a distal end portion of the arm, and the arm including a lamp component on the distal end portion;
• the base member including a capsular component to which the proximal end portion of the arm is pivotally mounted, means in the form of a switch on the capsular component for switching electrical current to the lamp component, a downwardly extending bracket molded integrally with the capsular component in unitary one-piece construction, and a clamping member adjustably mounted on the bracket to work in opposition to the capsular component;
• the capsular component being shaped and dimensioned to set atop the stitchery implement without extending significantly radially inward or radially outward from the stitchery implement, the bracket being shaped and dimensioned to extend downwardly from the capsular component closely adjacent the stitchery implement, the bracket including a vertically elongated slot that extends horizontally through the bracket and the clamping member including means in the form of a threaded-shaft-and-knob combination extending horizontally through the vertically elongated slot for adjustably mounting the clamping member to the bracket;
• the capsular component, the bracket, and the clamping member being arranged to adjustably mount on the stitchery implement so that with the stitchery implement in a horizontal position, the capsular component bears downwardly on the stitchery implement, the clamping member bears upwardly against the stitchery implement, the proximal end of the arm is disposed above the stitchery implement, and the bracket extends downwardly alongside and closely adjacent the stitchery implement.
