ABSTRACT:
A torch has a tray (1) for batteries and a mounting for a bulb (19). A cover (3,17) fits over this, confining the batteries and having a hole (20) into which the bulb projects. The material of the cover causes light to travel through it to a diffuser (21) which illuminates a zone out of the direct beam of the bulb. A mirror (16) fixed to the tray or to the cover adjacent the diffuser may be used with the diffused light as the sole source of illumination. The cover may have discontinuities elsewhere (18) which will show graphics or pictorial design illuminated by light diffused through the cover. The cover may be of J form, the hooked portion having the bulb hole (20) centrally and the diffuser (21) at its extremity, while the long limb (18) may carry the discontinuities. A switch for the torch is provided by a slider (8) captive to a side of the tray (1) and co-operative with the cover (3) to deform that side as it moves, to make and break an internal contact.
