ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a lantern, and more particularly, to a multi-function lantern including a flashing lantern cap which can be used as a flashlight, a cutter, a hammer, and a compressed gas injector.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In general, a lantern is a portable illumination apparatus used to see in the dark places.
FIG. 1
is a perspective view showing a conventional lantern. As shown in the drawing, a front cap
12
formed of transparent plastic material is coupled to a screw formed at an end of the lantern
100
. Thus, the light emitted from the lantern
100
proceeds straight forward and simultaneously diverges outward by the front cap
12
.
However, since the conventional lantern
100
must additionally include the front cap
12
, it is inconvenient to keep and store the front cap
12
separately. Also, since the size of the front cap
12
attached to the lantern
100
is small, it is not appropriate to be used as a flashing lantern cap.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To solve the above problems, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a multi-purpose lantern having a flashing lantern cap kept inside and also having a hammer, a cutter, and a compressed gas injector at an opposite end thereof.
Accordingly, to achieve the above objective, there is provided a lantern having a flashing lantern cap which comprises a flashing lantern cap, formed to be capable of being detachable from the lantern, for making light emitted from a lamp of the lantern to flash, a head portion to which the flashing lantern cap is attached at the fore end thereof, having the lamp therein, and into which the flashing lantern cap is inserted and a handle portion coupled to the rear end of the head portion and having a battery inside.
It is preferable in the present invention that the handle portion further comprises, at the rear end thereof, a multi-function portion having at least one of a cutter for cutting provided at an angled inlet, a hammer for breaking a car window, and a compressed gas injector used for self-defense.
