Abstract
A flashlight includes a battery. There is a helical spring at the base of the body. A light emitting element is mounted relative to the body. There is a switching element for opening and closing a circuit between the battery and the light emitting element. There are at least three elements for releasably securing the light to a support, each element permitting the body to be located with the support in a different manner. An electric circuit permits for periodic flashing of the light emitting element, LED.
Claims21
A portable marker light intended to be carried on a being comprising:
- a body for locating a battery;
- a light emitting element mounted relative to the body;
- a switching element;
