<p>A light device (10) having a battery and lamp housing (12) and a hinged top door (14). Batteries and a lamp holder (18) are located within the housing and are accessible by opening the hinged top door. As the hinged top door is opened, a cam surface (20) that holds the batteries in tight contact with the lamp holder moves away from the batteries, thereby releasing the tension holding the batteries in place within the housing. The batteries can therefore be easily loaded and unloaded. Likewise, as the hinged top door is closed, the tension holding the batteries in place is reapplied to the batteries to create a circuit for powering a lamp (22) engaged with the lamp holder. Furthermore, the lamp engaged with the lamp holder is also accessed through the hinged top door.</p> |
