An illumination assembly includes a light source having one or more light generating elements, preferably light emitting diodes (LED), connected to a power supply. A mounting assembly connected to the light source and power supply is structured to removably dispose the one or more LED's in any one of a plurality of orientations which best facilitates the illumination of a work area of the device. The light source, power supply and mounting assembly may assume a variety of different structural configurations so as to be adaptable to different devices. The power supply and any one or more of the LED's may be removed, replaced and repaired, wherein the versatility of the illumination assembly is such as to be usable with any of a large variety of instruments, mechanical tools or a variety of other utilitarian devices in order to achieve an adequately illuminate the work area thereof. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed to an illumination assembly usable with a variety of different devices by being removably and adjustably attached thereto.
In alternative preferred embodiments the illumination assembly of the present invention can be structured to be substantially integrated within the structure of the individual device.
The versatility of the various preferred embodiments of the present invention is demonstrated by the wide variety of devices with which it may be used.
As will be more evident herein after, such devices include mechanical tools, medical instruments, household implements or utensils, and a variety of other utilitarian devices which are normally, but not exclusively, operated by being hand-held.
As will also be apparent, certain preferred embodiments of the illumination assembly of the present invention may be more adaptable for use with specific instruments, tools, utensils, etc.
than others.
By way of example, the structure, size and configuration of certain devices render them more easily used with removably and/or adjustably mounted illumination assemblies rather than with the embodiments which are integrated or "built-in" as part of the original assembly or manufacture of the tool, instrument or like device.
More specifically, the illumination assembly of the present invention, in its various preferred embodiments, includes a light source comprising at least one light generating element.
Substantially all of the embodiments described hereinafter will be represented as using a light-emitting diode as the light generating element of the light source.
The intended spirit and scope of the present invention is not meant to exclude other types of light generating elements.
However, adaptability of the modern day, advanced LED to the various structural modifications of the illumination assembly as used in combination with the diverse instruments or tools set forth above makes the LED the preferred light generating element to be used.
Accordingly, the light source may comprise at least one LED but in certain preferred embodiments a plurality of LED's
