ABSTRACT:
An electric flashlight comprising a first circuit contact, a second circuit contact spaced from the first contact and a switch for selectively connecting and disconnecting the first and second contacts. The switch includes a casing having spaced ends and side walls with a leaf spring forming the switch contact strip pivoted intermediate its ends on the casing to form a first spring portion which is movable into and out of engagement with the first circuit contact and a second spring portion in permanent engagement with the second circuit contact. The spring is provided with spaced protuberances which engage, the inner surfaces of said casing end walls, the distance between the end walls being less than the distance between the protuberances which causes flexure of the spring. Actuating members are provided which selectively effect the movement of the first spring portion into and out of engagement with the first circuit contact.
