  • Patent number: 8226267
    Abstract: An electrical circuit structure for a light may comprise: at least first and second circuit portions disposed in different planes; the first circuit portion having a shape corresponding to the shape of a mounting surface adjacent to which it is adapted to be mounted, the first circuit portion having an opening therein for receiving a light source; a light source mounted in the opening of the first circuit portion for receiving electrical energy; and a switch mounted to the second circuit portion for selectively applying electrical energy for selectively energizing the light source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 5, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2012
    Assignee: Streamlight, Inc.

  • Patent number: 7614760
    Abstract: A light comprises a light body for supporting an illumination light source and for receiving a battery, a first light source disposed in the light body for selectively providing illumination; a cover for receiving an optional second light source; a switch for selectively energizing the first light source, the optional second light source, or both; and a circuit structure for receiving electrical potential and providing electrical connections among the first light source, the optional second light source, the switch, and the terminals. The circuit structure may include portions in different planes, and may include a separable connector whereby the optional second light source may be removable.

  • Patent number: 4640258
    Abstract: An archery shooting bow having an elongated cylindrical flashlight mounted thereupon and oriented so as to both provide forward illumination for the archer in the general direction in which an arrow may be shot from the bow and also so as to serve as a stabilizer for the bow.

  • Patent number: 4463283
    Abstract: A rechargeable lamp assembly utilizing recharging contacts and a mounting unit for recharging purposes that contains mating contacts so that the lamp unit may be recharged when mounted on the mounting unit. The mounting unit includes another set of electrical contacts of the same configuration as those on the lamp unit. Thus a recharging unit for generating a recharging current may be utilized which is connectable either to the mounting unit, to recharge the lamp unit mounted thereon, or directly to the lamp unit. The lamp unit circuitry is adapted to accept any of a number of different recharging units, so as to provide for recharging from a battery source, an AC source, and an AC source with input power-failure indication. The bulb in the lamp unit may be releasably connected to the battery, so that the battery potential may be taken off as an independent power supply for another load, if desired.
