ABSTRACT:
An accessory (10) for attachment to a flashlight (F). The accessory carries replacement batteries (B) and a replacement bulb (L) for the flashlight. A housing (12) may be either circular or rectangular in cross-section. The length of the housing corresponds to the total length of the batteries required to replace the flashlight batteries. One end (14) of the housing is closed, its other end (16) is open, and the interior of the housing is sized for the replacement batteries to fit within the housing. An end cap (20) fits over the open end of the housing. The cap includes an interior bracket (26) in which the replacement bulb is stored, and the cap is removable for removal of the replacement batteries or the bulb. A ring (36) on the housing attaches to a ring (R) or a washer (40) on the flashlight for attaching the accessory to the flashlight; or, alternately, to an article of clothing worn by the user. This allows the accessory to be conveniently carried with the flashlight.
