The invention provides a flashlight with a signal lamp, which is suitable for miniaturization and is easy to operate. A cylindrical sliding body (20) is fitted onto an upper outer portion of a body (10) which receives therein a cell or cells. When the sliding body (20) is slid in a vertical direction, the entire flashlight extends or contracts. A colorless transparent plate (24) and a reflecting plate (25) are provided within a cylindrical portion (21) for an illuminating lamp, such that when the entire flashlight contracts, a bulb (40) is positioned within the cylindrical portion (21) for an illuminating lamp to permit us to use the flashlight as an upward (in the figure) illuminating lamp. When the entire flashlight extends, scattered light is provided by a cylindrical portion (22) which is for a signal lamp and is formed of a red, transparent plastics, so that the flashlight can be used as a signal lamp. The cylindrical portion (22) for a signal lamp is formed inside with a groove (22C), in which an engagement projection (13C) of a rotary switch (13) is fitted. Rotation of the sliding body (20) can cause an ON/OFF action of the rotary switch (13) to thereby turn on and off the bulb (40). |
