ABSTRACT:
A flashlight in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a housing enclosing an insulating battery retaining member formed with spring arms for retaining a pair of batteries in spaced-apart relationship. Further included is a light bulb having a conductive support element one leg of which is in electrical contact with the surface of one battery while being maintained in fixed space relation between the retaining housing and the other positive battery post, as to the other leg. Adjacent the opposite end of the housing a conductive switch member is frictionally retained on the positive post of one battery and extends between the battery retaining member and a flexible wall of the housing. The other end of the switch member is located adjacent a cutout portion of the battery retaining member which exposes a conductive surface of the other of the batteries so that when the flexible wall of the housing is pressed, the free end of the switch member contacts the other of the batteries completing a circuit between the batteries and the light bulb.
