Grill light holders

Abstract

Disclosed is a device comprised of a one-piece fabricated light holder structure attachable to a variety of cooking grills. The disclosed light holder comprises a rigid, symmetrically-bent channel member, at least one horizontally-oriented attachment arm culminating in a fastening tab, and at least one pre-drilled hole in each fastening tab, said holes, corresponding to the spacing of fastening holes commonly used to attach a handle to the lid of a cooking grill. The pre-drilled holes of the fastening tab of the light holder allow the light holder to easily be fastened and co-located in holes provided for the original manufacturer's grill cover handle. An appropriately-sized, batter-powered light fixture is then securely placed within the channel segment of the light holder.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A holder for a portable light, comprising a single metallic piece bent at various junctions, into a generally rigid form having a channel, a shoulder joined to said channel, at least one attachment arm extending from said shoulder, and a fastening tab conjoined with said at least one arm, wherein,
 said channel comprises a sequential series of parallel junctions beginning with a lip joined at an approximately 45 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular lower flange, the opposite edge of said lower flange being joined at an approximately 85 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular bracket, the opposite edge of said rectangular bracket being joined at an approximately 85 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular upper flange, and the opposite edge of said upper flange being joined at an approximately 75 degree angle with said shoulder;   further, wherein said shoulder comprises at least one elongated extension forming an arm, said arm further culminating in a fastening tab, said tab having at least one hole drilled therethrough.   
     
     
         2 . A holder for a portable light, comprising a single metallic piece bent at various junctions, into a generally rigid form having a channel, a shoulder joined to said channel, a left attachment arm extending from said shoulder, and a left fastening tab, conjoined with said left attachment arm, wherein,
 said channel comprises a sequential series of parallel junctions beginning with a lip joined at an approximately 45 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular lower flange, the opposite edge of said lower flange being joined at an approximately 85 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular bracket, the opposite edge of said rectangular bracket being joined at an approximately 85 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular upper flange, and the opposite edge of said upper flange being joined at an approximately 75 degree angle with said shoulder;   further, wherein said shoulder comprises a left elongated extension forming a left attachment arm, said left attachment arm further culminating in a left fastening tab, said left fastening tab having at least one hole drilled therethrough.   
     
     
         3 . A holder for a portable light, as set forth in  claim 2  wherein said shoulder comprises a right elongated extension forming a right attachment arm, said right attachment arm further culminating in a right fastening tab, said right fastening tab having at least one hole drilled therethrough. 
     
     
         4 . A holder for a portable light, comprising a single metallic piece bent at various junctions, into a generally rigid form having a channel, a shoulder joined to said channel, a left attachment arm extending from said shoulder, a right attachment arm extending from said shoulder, and a left fastening tab and a right fastening tab, each conjoined with said respective left arm and right arm, wherein,
 said channel comprises a sequential series of parallel junctions beginning with a lip joined at an approximately 45 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular lower flange, the opposite edge of said lower flange being joined at an approximately 85 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular bracket, the opposite edge of said rectangular bracket being joined at an approximately 85 degree inner angle with one edge of a rectangular upper flange, and the opposite edge of said upper flange being joined at an approximately 75 degree angle with said shoulder;   further, wherein said shoulder comprises a left elongated extension forming a left attachment arm, said left attachment arm further culminating in a left fastening tab, said left fastening tab having at least one oval-shaped hole drilled therethrough; and wherein said shoulder comprises a right elongated extension forming a right attachment arm, said right attachment arm further culminating in a right fastening tab, said right fastening tab having at least one oval-shaped hole drilled therethrough.
