A torch comprises a tubular housing 2 for batteries 7. The housing is closed at a lower end by an end cap 4 and at an upper end by a reflector assembly 6. The assembly 6 bears against a frame 21 which carries a bulb 20 and contacts 28 (not shown) which form part of a switch. The contacts 28 connect a terminal of the bulb 20 to arms 29 (not shown) of conductors 14 thus forming a switch, the conductors extending along the housing 2 to contact a negative terminal of the batteries 7. The switch is opened and closed by moving the frame 21 within the housing 2 to slide the contacts 28 into and off the arms 29. The frame is urged upwardly by a spring 10 urging the batteries upwardly against the frame, and downwardly by the reflector assembly 6 which is screwed onto the housing 2. A flange 21 and nibs 26 (not shown) on the frame limit movement of the frame by engaging a rib 18 on the housing inner wall. <IMAGE> |
