Abstract
A flashlight having a body with a first externally threaded end engaged by a tubular head and a second internally threaded end engaged by a plug, whereby the focus of the flashlight may be adjusted by rotating the tubular head relative to the first end of the body and the flashlight may be turned off and on by rotating the plug relative to the second end of the body.
Claims1
A flashlight comprising:
- a) a tubular conductive body including a first externally threaded end and a second internally threaded end, and an annular portion formed on the first end and having a hole therethrough;
- b) an isolating seat having first and second slots formed therethrough, a C-ring frictionally engaged within the conductive body and the isolating seat being disposed between the annular portion and the C-ring;
- c) a first conductive receiver including a first section received in the first slot of the isolating seat and a second section positioned exteriorly of the isolating seat;
- d) a second conductive receiver including a first section received in the second slot of the isolating seat and a second section disposed between the annular portion and the isolating seat;
- e) a bulb including a first leg received in the first section of the first conductive receiver and a second leg received in the first section of the second conductive receiver;
- f) a tubular head threadedly engaged on the threaded first end of the conductive body and a lens mounted within the tubular head, whereby rotation of the head relative to the body permits adjusting the distance between the lens and the bulb to change the focus of the flashlight;
- and
- g) a threaded plug engaged within the internally threaded second end of the conductive body and a spring secured to the plug for engaging a power supply disposed within the body and completing an electric circuit, whereby rotation of the plug closes and opens the circuit to turn the flashlight on and off.
