Abstract: A conductor tube for a battery operated flashlight is disclosed. The conductor tube comprises an inner non-conductive sleeve positioned within an outer conductive sleeve. The flashlight bulb-receiving end of the conductor tube includes a plurality of inwardly disposed lances which extend from the outer conductive sleeve through the inner non-conductive sleeve to electrically engage the base terminal of the light bulb. The lances may extend longitudinally with respect to the conductor tube to securely receive the base of the light bulb of the flashlight. Alternatively, the lances may extend substantially circumventially about the end of the conductor tube to threadably receive the base of the light bulb and establish electrical continuity therewith.

Abstract: A pocket flashlight, which may be disposable, is disclosed. The flashlight includes a tube-like body, preferably formed of plastic or other non-conductive material, which is adapted to receive at least one flashlight battery and a flashlight bulb. The flashlight includes a conventional pushbutton mechanism which selectively activates the flashlight bulb. A spring member, located within the flashlight body, is provided for completing an electrical circuit when the pushbutton mechanism is depressed. The spring member, formed of metal or other conductive material, includes a helical spring and a relatively narrow spring leg, the latter fitting within a channel formed in the flashlight body, in order to complete the electrical circuit when the pushbutton mechanism is depressed.

Abstract: A flashlight in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a housing enclosing an insulating battery retaining member formed with spring arms for retaining a pair of batteries in spaced-apart relationship. Further included is a light bulb having a conductive support element one leg of which is in electrical contact with the surface of one battery while being maintained in fixed space relation between the retaining housing and the other positive battery post, as to the other leg. Adjacent the opposite end of the housing a conductive switch member is frictionally retained on the positive post of one battery and extends between the battery retaining member and a flexible wall of the housing.

Abstract: An electric lamp with a parabolic reflector in a threaded collar, provided with a device for adjusting the focus by relative displacement between the bulb and the reflector which occurs when turning the collar on its threads between first and second adjusting positions. The device furthermore controls a switch housed within the casing for the device. The device is particularly applicable as an electric headlamp for mountain-climbers or spelunkers.

Abstract: A compact, disposable-type flashlight which is particularly suited to be carried on one's person, in a briefcase or purse, has a hollow, oval shaped case. Caps cover ends of the case with a bulb carried in one cap. The bulb extends into the case where a base of the bulb engages an end wall of a resilient member. The resilient member in turn separates a pair of batteries which have an insulated and uninsulated outer casing respectively. A conductive strap fits about the casings to join the batteries to the resilient member. The batteries are opposingly positioned allowing a conductive plate in the other cap to connect opposite terminals of the batteries in series. A pair of lead wires extend from the bulb base with one wire connected to the positive terminal of the insulated battery while the other lead wire is free and extends into a space between the case and the strap. To activate the flashlight the case is manually squeezed to force the free lead wire to contact the strap.

Abstract: A small portable, lightweight, long life, battery powered light includes fastening means for fastening it near the end of a fishing rod so that a fisherman can see the fishing rod tip move during darkness. The closure cap for the battery compartment forms the switch, and the lens includes light diffusion lines to soften the glow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flashlight that is adapted to be hand held and wherein the circuit to the bulb is completed by merely a squeezing action on the outer tubular shell of the container, which pressure causes a series of lengthwise metal fingers on a clip mounting the bulb, to be brought into contact with the metal can housing the battery and thus energize the bulb.

Abstract: An archers arrow having a body, a head, fletching and a nock, has a bore in the body adjacent the fletching. A sleeve on the nock is secured within the body, and mounts on its interior a normally open electrical circuit including a lamp and a battery assembly, with the lamp nested within the nock, and the nock being of a light transmitting plastic material. A manual switch is movable on the body to close the circuit.

Abstract: A battery case has a main switch device in a lid which is capable of being coupled to a battery chamber body. The main switch device is operable, when coupled to said body, so as to interrupt the connection between the two electrodes of a battery. The lid includes a frame member engageable with the battery chamber body and having an inner wall and an outer wall, a pair of electrode contacts extending through the inner wall, and switch operating means having a switch member and an operating member. The main switch device may be reliably closed and opened. With the main switch device, the dust-proof and moisture-proof properties of the battery case are not impaired.

Abstract: A rechargeable flashlight fits into and draws recharging power from an automotive type cigar lighter socket. A thermally controlled charging circuit within the flashlight adjusts the charging rate according to the ambient temperature. When the flashlight is withdrawn from the cigar lighter socket, it is illuminated; when it is replaced it is extinguished. Alternatively, the flashlight may be manually illuminated or extinguished outside the charging socket.

Abstract: A sun visor, including a mirror which can be lighted: there is an outer frame secured in the visor body and an inner frame which can be snapped into and out of the inner frame between two pivot positions; an electric contact on the inner frame engages a contact on the outer frame when the inner frame is flipped out; a spring biased latch holds the inner frame in the outer frame; when the latch is released, a spring biases the inner frame to be flipped out.

Abstract: A flashlight that additionally includes a circuit for testing out an electric fuse; the flashlight case having on its rear end a threaded socket into which a fuse can be screwed, and if the fuse is unbroken it will complete the circuit to the flashlight battery.
