ABSTRACT:
A flashlight includes a flashlight body which is formed in two portions second of which is pivotally mounted on the first portion. A forward end of the flashlight body is generally rectangular in cross-section with a rearward end being approximately one half of the cross-section of the forward end with the second body portion being of a similar cross-sectional shape to the smaller end. In this way the second body portion can be pivoted from a position in which it constitutes an extension of the first portion as a handle therefore or can be moved to a folded position lying alongside and underneath the smaller end so that in the folded condition a continuous rectangular shape is formed. In this condition the flashlight body can be inserted into a sleeve of rectangular cross-section for storage with a charging device at the base of the sleeve having terminals for cooperation with the terminals of the second body portion for charging a battery. The only switch is provided by the connection of the terminals of the first body portion and the terminals of the second body portion when in the extended position. A magnet is provided to hold the folded flashlight in the sleeve. The device is compact in the folded and stored condition and forms a simple rugged construction of elongate form in the opened condition.
