Abstract
A flashlight that is convertible between a hand-held form and a body-mountable form is disclosed. The flashlight includes a head assembly, which houses the light bulb and the switching mechanism, and a body assembly which houses the power cells. The body assembly includes a pair of articulated arms which are hinged to the head assembly for forming a handle in the hand-held form or a yoke in the body-mountable form. An integral switching and focusing mechanism is provided in the head assembly. Axial displacement of the mechanism switches the flashlight on or off, whereas rotation of the mechanism moves a parabolic reflector relative to the light bulb so as to vary the focus of the light. The head assembly includes a lamp housing which is tiltable for directing the light beam. An electric circuit is provided to permit recharging of the flashlight power cells.
