ABSTRACT:
A flashlight includes a barrel, a lamp socket assembly disposed inside the barrel, and a conductive coupling unit disposed inside the barrel around a lamp holder of the lamp socket assembly to connect electrically the barrel and the lamp holder. The coupling unit includes first and second coupling pieces. The first coupling piece is annular in shape and is interposed between and is in tight contact with the lamp holder and the barrel. The first coupling piece has a resilient end portion which is formed from a plurality of frontwardly extending and angularly spaced first peripheral flanges. The second coupling piece has an annular base with a diameter which expands gradually from a rear end to a front end of the annular base. The rear end of the annular base is formed with a plurality of angularly spaced and frontwardly extending second peripheral flanges that contact tightly the lamp holder. The front end of the annular base is formed with a plurality of angularly spaced and frontwardly extending peripheral claws. Each of the peripheral claws inclines slightly in a radial outward direction and extends between two adjacent ones of the first peripheral flanges to contact tightly the barrel.
