Abstract
A torch having a replaceable trigger module is disclosed. The trigger module includes a housing defining a cavity; a trigger operatively coupled to the housing; and a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to be electrically coupled to one or more accessories. The PCB and the one or more accessories are disposed at least partially in the cavity and are coupled to the housing so that coupling the housing to a torch handle mechanically couples the PCB and trigger to the torch handle.
Claims20
A torch, comprising:
- a handle having a first half and a second half;
- and
- the first half and the second half each include a bracket portion defining a cavity for receiving a trigger module;
- wherein the torch is configured to be electrically coupled to interchanging trigger modules, the interchanging trigger modules including a first type of trigger module and a second type of trigger module, the second type of trigger module being different than the first type of trigger module.

A torch, comprising:
- a handle including:
- a first clam shell portion including a first bracket portion defining a first cavity for receiving part of a trigger module;
- and
- a second clam shell portion including a second bracket portion defining a second cavity for receiving another part of the trigger module, wherein the torch is configured to be electrically coupled to interchanging trigger modules, the interchanging trigger modules including a first type of trigger module and a second type of trigger module, the second type of trigger module being different than the first type of trigger module.
1 more element
A trigger module for a torch, the trigger module comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity;
- a trigger operatively coupled to the housing;
- a light source;
- and
- a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to be electrically coupled to the light source, wherein the PCB and the light source are disposed at least partially in the cavity and coupled to the housing so that coupling the housing to a torch handle mechanically couples the PCB and trigger to the torch handle, and the housing is removable from the torch handle whereby removal of the housing from the torch handle results in the trigger, the light source, and the PCB being separated from the torch handle.
