Abstract: A fluorescent lantern generally comprising a single piece chassis and a cover which removably fits over the rear portion of the chassis. The chassis has a unitary reflector section with a pair of integral sockets for supporting the electrical contacts of a fluorescent lamp. A compartment section for housing the battery and switching mechanism is integrally disposed on the back of the reflector section. When properly mounted in the compartment section, the batteries are electrically connected to the fluorescent lamp through the switching mechanism and the reflector sockets. The switching mechanism is also used to selectively make and break the electrical circuit from the battery to the lamp.

Abstract: A wireless electric swivel head hand lantern generally comprising a lantern battery, a lantern handle and a swivel head containing a lamp. Metal strips are used to connect the terminal posts of the lantern battery to the lamp in the swivel head. Electrical contact is made without the use of wires, solder, rivets or the like by positioning the metal strips so that portions of the surface areas of the strips are conjoined. Portions of the metal strips are disposed inside the swivel head and configured in such a manner that electrical contact with the lamp is automatically made and maintained by positioning the lamp in the swivel head and securing it in place.

Abstract: Leaks are precluded in product containers with the bottle insert by structuring a rim thereon for establishing an inclined sealing interface. A diaphragm is structured within the bottle insert to provide either a cylindrical or a noncylindrical wipe over the particular type of applicator tip selected for use in the product container. Furthermore, provisions are incorporated within the bottle insert to block passage through the wiping diaphragm of misaligned comb type applicator tips and these provisions are made self-aligning for such tips with minor structural modification.
