摘要:
A rechargeable flashlight having a nightlight is provided comprising in combination a housing, a rechargeable power supply within the housing, first and second lamp assemblies disposed within said housing, a rotating electrical connector attached to the housing to selectively interconnect the rechargeable power supply to an AC power source to recharge the battery. The rotating connector also connecting the second lamp assembly to the rechargeable power supply. In a second position, the rotating electrical connector is disconnected from the rechargeable power supply and interrupts the power to the second lamp assembly.

A rechargeable flashlight is provided comprising in combination a tubular housing open at one end and closed at an opposite end. An integral lamp assembly and power supply circuit are slidably received within the tubular housing. An electrical connector is provided at the closed end of the tubular housing to selectively interconnect the power supply circuit to an external electrical power source, such as an AC socket, to recharge the battery. In a second position, the electrical connector is disconnected from the power supply circuit, and power is provided by the rechargeable battery. The open end of the tubular housing is closed by a removable lens assembly, concentrically receiving a lamp extending from the integral lamp assembly, for organizing the light produced by the lamp into a beam. The lamp assembly and power supply circuit may be formed as an integral unit and detachably fixed within the flashlight casing or housing so that the operator may remove the lamp assembly and power supply circuit as a unit. Any electrical connection between the external AC power supply and the flashlight circuit is interrupted when the lamp assembly and power supply circuit are removed from the flashlight casing. Thus, in contrast to conventional rechargeable flashlights, when the rechargeable battery within the flashlight no longer operates, it may be removed from the flashlight and disposed of properly. A replacement battery may be obtained at a fraction of the cost of the flashlight, reinserted into the circuit, and reinstalled in the flashlight. In this manner, the substantial portion of the flashlight is conserved, wherein in the prior units the entire flashlight was disposed of, often improperly, with the rechargeable battery therein and presenting an environmental safety hazard.

An improved coating tool (20) is provided with a variable flexible connection between a head and handle. The improved tool broadly includes a head (22), a handle (23), a flexible connection (21) between the head and handle to permit relative pivotal movement therebetween, and a restraining member (24) operatively arranged to adjustably limit the amount of relative movement between the head and handle, whereby the amount of permissible relative movement between the head and handle may be selectively varied. In the preferred form, the restraining member (24) may vary the flexibility of the connection.

A flashlight is disclosed having a body and a flashlight head in which a light bulb is mounted. The body includes a housing that defines a battery compartment, a pair of arms extending from a front end of the housing for mounting the flashlight head between opposing ends of the arms such that the flashlight head may be pivoted relative to the body, and a thumb wheel rotatably mounted in the housing and extending partially through the housing to engage the flashlight head such that the flashlight head pivots relative to the body as the thumb wheel is rotated. The thumb wheel may include gear teeth about its perimeter for engaging gear teeth formed in the round rear surface of the flashlight head.
