Abstract
A flashlight provided with an open electric circuit between the battery and the bulb. The spaced terminals of the open circuit extend exterior of the casing on which a safety pin type fastener is rotatably mounted. The pin bridges the terminals of the open battery circuit. The pin operates in a conventional manner to connect to any portion of an outer garment of the wearer, and when not in use, the casing is rotated to remove the safety pin from the terminals of the battery circuit thereby opening the circuit and turning off the light.

A switch circuit for a flashlight comprising:
- a casing member for housing a light bulb and a battery;
- spaced terminals on the exterior of said casing member;
- and
- a garment piercing pin pivotally mounted on said casing member between said spaced terminals, said pin being rotatable relative to said casing member to contact said spaced terminals.
A switch circuit for a flashlight comprising:
- a flashlight casing member;
- spaced terminals on said flashlight casing member;
- and
- a garment piercing pin pivotally mounted on said flashlight casing member between said spaced terminals, said pin being rotatable relative to said casing to contact said spaced terminals.
A casing for housing a battery and light bulb comprising:
- a light bulb support means in said casing;
- a battery support means in said casing;
- a pivot means on said casing;
- said light bulb support means being electrically conducting, and a part thereof extending exterior of said casing;
- said battery support means being electrically conducting, and a part thereof extending exterior of said casing spaced from said light bulb support means;
- and
- a garment piercing pin fixed to said pivot means rotatable relative to said casing to make and break contact with said spaced parts of said light support means and said battery support means.
A casing for housing a battery and a light bulb comprising:
- a light bulb support means;
- a battery support means;
- a planular base member and a hollow member removably connected to said base member, said hollow member formed to house a battery on said battery support means and a light bulb in said light bulb support means;
- said light bulb support means being electrically conducting, and a part thereof extending exterior of said base member;
- said battery support means being electrically conducting, and a part thereof extending exterior of said base member, said part of said light bulb support means and said part of said battery support means extending exterior of said base member being spaced from each other;
- a garment piercing pin pivotally mounted on the exterior of said base between said spaced parts of said light bulb support means and said battery support means and being pivotable relative to said base member to electrically close the space between said parts of said light bulb support means and said battery support means.
