ABSTRACT:
A flashlight in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a housing enclosing a battery retaining member formed with spring arms for retaining a pair of batteries in spaced-apart relationship. Further included is a light bulb having a pair of leads extending therefrom and carried at one end of the housing with the leads each connected to a battery. Adjacent the opposite end of the housing a switch wire connected to one battery extends between the battery retaining member and a flexible wall of the housing. The other end of the switch wire is located adjacent a cutout portion of the battery retaining member which exposes a surface of the other of the batteries so that when the flexible wall of the housing is pressed the other end of the switch wire contacts the other of the batteries completing a circuit between the batteries and the light bulb.
