摘要： A method of extending the useful life of one or more conventional DC batteries in a battery-powered device. The method involves use of at least one dry cell DC battery, at least one metal blank, and a battery-powered apparatus having a battery compartment and an extension housing. At least one dry cell DC battery is placed inside the battery compartment of the battery-powered apparatus. At least one metal blank is then placed in the extension housing for completing an electrical circuit between first and second contacts of the battery-powered device. Using a voltmeter, the voltage of one of the dry cell DC batteries is tested. If the voltage of the dry cell DC battery is below a threshold voltage level required for the battery-powered apparatus, at least one metal blank is then replaced with a partially-charged battery.

摘要： A battery-powered apparatus for holding and energizing an electric transducer, includes a hand-held battery housing carrying the transducer mount, and first and second internal battery contacts. A first external battery charge terminal is on the transducer mount, and a second external battery charge terminal is on a part of the battery housing, such as its end cap. A double-throw switch has a common element electrically connected to an internal battery terminal contact, has a first switched contact leading to a first terminal of the electric transducer, and has opposite second switched contact electrically connected to an external battery charge terminal. If there are two electric transducers, they may be a part of a light source comprising a reflector, a first electric lamp having a filament at its focal point, and a second electric lamp extending into that reflector beside the first electric lamp.

摘要： A multi-function container includes a housing, a closure and an exterior light source. The container has a first interior portion adapted to hold small items. The closure is used to cover the first interior portion of the housing and to contain the small items in the first interior portion of the housing. The housing also has a second separate interior portion adapted to hold a battery. The light source is operatively coupled to the second interior portion to receive power from the battery, upon the battery being held within the second interior portion. Thus, the multi-function container may serve as a container and/or a flashlight. The multi-function container may also include a key ring which is coupled to an exterior surface of the closure, and may also include a clock coupled to the side of the housing.

摘要： A lighting assembly for use in a cigaret lighter shell. The lighting assembly comprises an insulative case for housing a power supply, such as batteries, and conductors for establishing an electrical circuit that includes the batteries, the conductors, and a light bulb and that does not rely on conductivity of the shell. An adjustable reflector and lens may be provided to focus and direct the beam generated by the bulb. One conductor is moved into contact with another of the conductors in response to opening of the lid of the shell to close the electrical circuit to turn the flashlight on. One of the conductors is moved out of contact with another in response to closing of the lid to turn the flashlight off. One of the conductors is positioned for preventing its contact with another conductor when the lighting assembly is removed from the shell so that it is turned off. One conductor may be manually positioned or locked in position so that it is not in contact with another conductor so that the flashlight is turned off while the lid is open.
