Abstract: A firearm illuminator for selectively providing low intensity illumination to assist the firearm user to navigate his or her surroundings in dark environments, as well as for selectively providing high intensity illumination of a target. The preferred embodiment includes a vertical handgrip having a battery compartment in the handgrip. A battery retainer cap assembly for the battery compartment includes a battery enable/disable mechanism and a safety latch is provided on the handgrip or battery housing for assuring the retainer cap assembly's secure attachment to the battery housing.

Abstract: A battery powered portable electric light source has multiple sets of spare batteries contained in its battery compartment, whereby mixups between exhausted and fresh batteries are effectively avoided. A flashlight having a light output stronger than the mentioned electric light source is provided for use of batteries from the battery compartment of the mentioned portable container, and batteries are exchanged between that portable container and that flashlight. Apparatus for providing electric light have an electric light source requiring for energization a pair of batteries in series and a portable container for several pairs of these batteries connected each in series at a bottom of that container. Each of these several pairs of batteries includes a first battery having a first positive terminal and an opposite first negative terminal, and a second battery having a second positive terminal connected to that first negative terminal and an opposite second negative terminal.

Abstract: Electric apparatus including an electric battery composed of individually jacketed battery elements and a battery elements carrier of two or more compartments into which such battery elements are individually insertable side by side with all like terminals of such battery elements being on the same side in each compartment. A housing structure for an electric battery composed of individually jacketed battery elements has a lateral opening, and a battery housing cover preferably slideable on that housing structure over that lateral opening, with an electric lamp assembly on that housing structure and connectable to the electric battery in the housing structure.

Abstract: Apparatus for firing projectiles at targets and for illuminating such targets combine a projectile-firing weapon and a target illuminator. A track-and-slide combination includes a slide on the target illuminator and a track structure on the weapon for that slide, and a releasable slide-in-track stop in such rack-and-slide combination. In the case of a firearm that has a trigger actuated by a bent trigger finger of a shooter for the firing thereof, a push-button or transverse slide switch for the target illuminator may be mounted within reach of a pad of such trigger finger prior to actuation of the trigger. For example, the shooter may draw the firearm with his or her trigger finger then outstretched for actuation of the target illuminator switch, and may then bend such trigger finger for firing of the weapon by actuation of the trigger. Such and other appliances may have a battery compartment, and a contact plate interconnecting batteries in such compartment.

Abstract: Apparatus for firing projectiles at targets and for illuminating such targets include a projectile-firing elongate weapon having a fore-end structure and a target illuminator on that fore-end structure in a first quadrant between a vertical plane and a horizontal plane longitudinally through such elongate weapon in a firing position of that weapon. Additionally or alternatively, a target illuminator may include a housing in one piece with part of the fore-end structure. An electric lamp assembly for target illuminators, flashlights or other light sources has a support structure, a bezel structure on that support structure, and a shock-absorbed reflector structure inside that bezel structure. Such shock-absorbed reflector structure includes a reflector having a focal point, a first shock absorber between that reflector and the support structure and a second shock absorber between the bezel structure and that reflector.

Abstract: An electric appliance includes a first electric power supply of first batteries arranged in a first pattern, and alternatively a different second electric power supply of second batteries arranged in a second pattern. An electrical ON-OFF switch has an ON-OFF position push-button switch actuator and a rotary switch actuator which releasably blocks that ON-OFF position push-button switch actuator in an OFF position. A tail end is equipped with a bistable OFF and ON switching function and with a momentary ON switching function unified into one electric toggle switch having a stable OFF position, a stable ON position, and a momentary ON position. A flashlight beam is cast with a first lamp and reflector assembly, an alternative second lamp and reflector assembly is substituted for that first lamp and reflector assembly and a second light beam of a different configuration is cast with that alternative second lamp and reflector assembly.
