ABSTRACT:
A flashlight includes a body for holding a battery and a head which is pivotally mounted on the body. The body includes a pair of spaced-apart hinge portions, and a hinge portion of the head is positioned between the spaced-apart hinge portions and retained by a pivot pin. The head is pivotable between a first position in which the light beam from the head is parallel with the longutidnal axis of the body and a second position in which the light beam is perpendicular to the axis of the body. Detents on the pivot pin and on the head maintain the head in a selected position. A wire for maintaining electrical contact between a light in the head and the battery as the head pivots extends from the head through the pivot pin and into the body. A movable support clip on the body supports the body in a vertical position on a horizontal surface when the head is in the second position.
