ABSTRACT:
A combined tool case and flashlight includes a tool case which has a housing portion and a cover portion that are hinged together and that respectively have first and second connecting ends forming complementing first and second cavity halves to confine a receiving space. A flashlight unit includes a cell housing, a bulb and a lamp shade mounted to the front end of the cell housing, and a joint portion formed integrally with the rear end of the cell housing. The joint portion projects rearwardly from the rear end into the receiving space. A magnet is provided in the rear end of the cell housing adjacent to the joint portion. The joint portion of the cell housing is prevented from being released from the tool case in a first direction toward the front end of the cell housing, and is releasable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second connecting end of the cover portion can push the joint portion in a third direction opposite to the second direction when the cover portion is closed. The flashlight offers light whenever necessary for tooling, and can be mounted on a suitable support or object by the magnet when the flashlight is separated from the tool case.
