ABSTRACT:
A portable lamp is comprised of two formed plastic housing halves which are secured together by the engagement of headed projections extending from one of the housing halves and received over flanges in the other of the housing halves. The portable lamp is "wired" by a plurality of metal conductor strips and a switch supported in one of the housing halves, one strip extending from a bulb mounted in a plastic bulb socket formed by the assembled housing halves to one terminal of the battery, another strip extending from the other terminal of the bulb to and contacting a first exposed terminal of the switch and another strip extending from the other terminal of the switch to an annular metal disc which receives the other battery terminal. The switch and metal conductor strips and annular discs are held in position by internal rib structures when the housing halves are assembled together. The base further comprises a bottom cap received in bayonet mounting on the bottom of the assembled housing halves, thereby providing access to the battery. The base supports a shade and shade bail, and more particularly each of the housing halves defines vertical flanges which together define two opposed vertical grooves in the assembled base, and each of the housing halves include projecting tongues which overlap to form the base of the vertical grooves. Openings extend through the tongues of both of the housing halves for receiving the inturned ends of the shade bail, wherein the shade bail contributes to the structural integrity of the base. The vertical flanges further define at least two parallel inclined grooves which support the shade bail and the shade at an inclined angle with respect to the base.
