Abstract

A dual-light assembly is provided for a bench grinder having a centrally-located motor housing, two laterally-projecting wheel housings mounted on opposite sides of the motor housing relative to each other, a grinding wheel or wire brush rotatably mounted within each wheel housing and defining a respective work station, and a shield assembly mounted to each wheel housing by a shield fastener and including a transparent shield mounted over a respective work station. Two lamp brackets of the dual-light assembly each define a mounting wall forming an elongated slot for receiving a respective shield fastener, and clamping the lamp bracket between the associated wheel housing and mounting arm of the shield assembly. Each shield fastener is slidable through the respective elongated slot for adjusting the position of the bracket relative to the respective work station. Each lamp bracket further defines a lamp flange projecting inwardly from the mounting wall of the bracket in a direction approximately toward the motor housing. Two lamp fixtures are each mounted on a respective lamp flange and located to one side of a respective shield for receiving a light bulb and illuminating the respective work station. A toggle switch is mounted in a junction housing and is electrically connected to each lamp fixture, and a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive is mounted to the base of the junction housing for fixedly securing the junction housing to the motor housing.
