Flashlight

A flashlight for attachment to a strap, the flashlight comprising:

• a lamp body having inner and outer walls facing in opposite directions, a light source mounted on said lamp body and arranged to project light in a direction transverse to the directions in which said inner and outer walls face;
• and at least two retaining projections fixed to said inner wall of the lamp body, each retaining projection being spaced radially from a common axis extending along said opposite directions, and having a leg extending in the direction in which said inner wall faces, and a foot spaced from said inner wall and extending from the leg radially with respect to said common axis;
• a strap bracket having a strap-receiving slot through which a strap can extend, and a slotted face having, for each said retaining projection, a corresponding arcuate slot centered on said common axis, the leg of each of said retaining projections extending through the corresponding arcuate slot and being slidable therein as said lamp body is rotated about said common axis, each said slot having an undercut cross-section accommodating the radially extending foot of its corresponding retaining projection, and each arcuate slot being sufficiently narrow to prevent the foot of its corresponding retaining projection from passing outwardly therethrough, but having an open end, the open ends of said slots being positioned so that the legs of the retaining projections can pass therethrough substantially simultaneously for detachment of the lamp body from said strap bracket.
