  • Patent number: 6908209
    Abstract: A miniaturized flashlight activated by external pressure by a push stem at one end of its casing, to energize its lamp. The flashlight includes a casing, for holding one or more batteries, and a front cap for holding a lamp contained within the casing, a resilient sleeve that engages the lamp, and likewise engages the front of the located battery, so as to provide for displacement of the lamp from the battery terminal during non-usage, but once the battery is urged forwardly, through pushing of its push stem, provides for illumination of the lamp, as it extends through the front cap for the battery. A rear end cap, just like the front cap, resiliently binds upon the back of the flashlight casing, to hold the light assembled, and a push stem extends through the back of the rear cap, readily available for physical manipulation forwardly to illuminate the light, during usage.

  • Patent number: 6679616
    Abstract: Flashlight activated by external pressure on one end of its casing to energize the lamp. The flashlight includes a casing for holding a battery and the contact portion a lamp, a front cap positioned on the front of the casing to secure the lamp protruding through an aperture, and a rear cap made of resilient material. A resilient spacer is positioned within the casing, intermediate the lamp and the battery to retain these two components out of contact in the nonilluminated state. External depression of the resilient rear cap urges the battery forward and the resilient spacer compressed to allow contact between the battery and base of the lamp. Contact wire electrically connects the lamp and battery to complete a circuit. Release of the rear cap allows the resilient spacer to expand, breaking contact between the battery and lamp, to turn off the flashlight.
