ABSTRACT:
A front body assembly and rear body assembly, hingedly connected together at their bottom and detented at their top for selective opening and closing, co-operate with each other to form a flashlight case assembly which receives and mounts a flashlight bulb and dry cell battery to thus provide a flashlight. A reflector assembly, carried by the front body assembly, is formed with a substantially annular reflecting surface disposed about a substantially annular transparent area which, in turn, surrounds an opening centrally disposed to receive a flashlight bulb when such bulb is positioned on a component mounting plate assembly carried by the rear body assembly. An on/off switch is carried by a component mounting plate, of the component mounting plate assembly, for access through an aperture appropriately formed in the rear body assembly, and for co-operation with suitably disposed electrical conductors carried by the component mounting plate for coaction with each other and with the terminals of the dry cell battery. The component mounting plate is formed from transparent material so that when the flashlight bulb is energized by the battery its illumination can pass therethrough and through the rear body assembly which is formed from transparent or translucent material that is red in color so as to provide, when illuminated, a red caution or warning light if so desired. The opening and transparent area of the reflector assembly facilitate the availability of sufficient light from the flashlight bulb to so illuminate the rear body assembly. A bail is carried by the rear body assembly to help in positioning or carrying the flashlight. The exterior surface of the front body assembly is coated with phosphorescent material which will glow in the dark to aid in locating the flashlight.
