METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING A LIGHT WAND AND FLASHLIGHT HOLSTER

摘要

The subject invention (12) combines the function of a flashlight holster with the function of a light wand. The combined functions are provided by a shaped, translucent receptacle (1), into which the flashlight (11) is protectively inserted and carried. Part of the holster-wand (1) may incorporate an attachment for facilitating removeable securement of the holster-wand combination (1) to the carrier's person. The holster-wand combination (1) may incorporate a flexibly attached cap (7) which acts as a flashlight lens protector and/or as a color coded signalling device. The combination may advantageously include an internal bottom spring (10), which allows the accommodation of various length flashlights. The combination is attachable to the user's person via a clip, such as a belt clip (2) or it may be attached to a stationary object.
