ABSTRACT:
A flashlight particularly useful by safety personnel such as a firefighter and capable of operation with rechargeable battery means or non-rechargeable battery means. The flashlight includes a one-piece plastic casing having a tubular body portion defining a battery compartment and a right angled head portion in which a light bulb is mounted. The battery compartment is closed by an end cap on which electrical conductive means is mounted to form a part of the battery circuit when non-rechargeable batteries are placed in the compartment. A plurality of charging contacts are mounted on the rear wall of the body portion of the flashlight for enabling rechargeable batteries to be recharged while in the compartment. The charging contacts are recessed within the rear wall of the battery compartment so that they can not be engaged by non-rechargeable batteries within the compartment. This prevents the non-rechargeable batteries from being damaged if the flashlight were inadvertently placed into a charging unit with non-rechargeable batteries in the compartment. The circuitry connecting the batteries to the light bulb includes uniquely structured elements which are quickly and easily connected together to facilitate assembly of the flashlight.
