Abstract
An illuminating casing for receiving a handle of a key includes a lower shell and an upper shell wherein a top extends laterally from the peripheral wall of the lower shell so as to define a chamber for receiving the handle. A light is disposed beside the top and a battery is disposed between the top and the upper shell which has a button disposed thereto. The top has a tongue extending therefrom and has an inclined surface forward of the bottom of the lower shell. The handle of the key has an aperture defined therethrough so that when the handle is inserted into the chamber, the tongue is pushed slightly by the handle, and when the handle slides over the tongue, the distal end of the tongue is securely engaged with the aperture of the handle.
