ABSTRACT:
A flexible flashlight which may provide light at any angle even in an environment in which the area in which to position a flashlight is extremely limited. A bellows is provided one end of which is threaded onto the body tube of a flashlight, the other end of which contains a bulb along with a lens and bezel. The bellows is made of a semi-rigid material so that once its curvature is formed it will remain fixed indefinitely until reformed by the user. The flexible flashlight may be placed on any flat surface or may be attached to any ferro-magnetic surface. In either case once the flashlight has been positioned both hands are free to perform work. An internal coiled helical cord is provided inside the bellows section to assure good electrical connection and to minimize the possibility of damaging the electrical pathway due to frequent flexion of the bellows.
