Portable illumination device, especially torch, has changeover device that breaks connection between internal current source and light source when voltage applied from external current source

摘要

The portable illumination device has a light source (52), an internal current source (58) and at least two contact elements (40B,41B,42B) for connection to an external current source (20). A changeover device (56) breaks a first connection (59,53) between the internal current source and the light source when a voltage is applied from the external current source. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: a charger for a portable illumination device, an accumulator unit for a portable illumination device and a set consisting of a portable illumination device or accumulator and a charger.
