<p>A flashlight has a housing (12) having a bettery containing portion (14), and a light source containing portion (16) integral with the battery containing portion. The battery containing portion is substantially triangular in transverse cross-section with rounded corners (25) which form three battery containing chambers. Three spiral springs (40, 42 and 44) are seated on the closed end of the battery containing portion with each spring in alignment with a battery chamber. Two of the springs (40 and 42) are electrically connected toghether. The third spring (44) has an electrode wire (48) extending along one side of the battery containing portion to the light source containing portion (16). A light generating means, (68) such as a LED, is mounted in the light source containing portion (16) and is adapted to move the light generating means (68) into and out of an electrical contact with the batteries (84) to turn the flashlight on and off.</p> |
