Light retrieving tool for use with miniature village buildings

摘要

A tool for facilitating removal of a light holder assembly from the interior of a miniature model building comprises an elongated rigid wire having an integrally-formed, U-shaped hook member disposed at its distal end and projecting at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the wire. The other end of the wire is secured to a handle member. The spacing between the legs of the hook is such that the hook can be made to engage the inwardly extending notches on the lamp holder's leaf spring members, allowing sufficient tension to be placed on the leaf spring member to compress it to the point where the light holder assembly can be extracted through the opening in the building's wall.
