Abstract: A light guard is disclosed adapted to enclose a lamp and the like comprising a reflector section and a cage section which are preferably molded from electrically non-conducting synthetic resins. The light guard is characterized by the manner of detachably securing the two sections together, both for relative pivoting with respect to each other and for latching together. The pivoting structure includes a shaft and slotted sleeve for easy assembly and disassembly and optionally has restraining means to limit free pivotal opening of the sections without preventing further pivoting totally to disengage the sections from each other. The latching structure includes a slotted flange on one section and flexible fingers on the other section to engage frictionally and resiliently within and adjacent to the ends of the slot to lock the sections together.

Abstract: A spotlight having a generally cylindrical housing with an integral radially extending pistol grip handle at one end, a cord retractor in the rear and a seal beam light closing the open end of the cylindrical housing. The lamp is held in a shock absorbing position by projections on the housing and an integral trigger connected to the housing through a living hinge actuates the switch to turn the light on and off. A trigger lock holds the light "on" and the trigger guard prevents the trigger from being turned on inadvertently. An improved cord holder is provided which utilizes a pinch connection.
