Abstract:
1. A small portable flashlight comprising: a circuit substrate having a surface provided with a switching circuit, and another surface provided with a battery contact point; a plurality of platy batteries laminated for increased voltage to and held by the circuit substrate, with one electrode contacted by the battery contact point; a contact arm extending from the circuit substrate and having a battery contact point contacted to another electrode of the batteries; a flat main body case incorporating the circuit substrate, the batteries and the contact arm; a light emitting body on a side of a laminate of the circuit substrate and the batteries, including a light emitting portion exposed out of the main body case and a rear portion having lead wires extending therefrom connected to the circuit substrate; and an operating part on an upper surface or a side surface of the main body case, contacted to and removed from contact points of the switching circuit thereby turning on and off the light emitting portion, wherein the light emitting body has a longitudinal axis aligned with a mean height of a laminate of the circuit substrate and batteries, the light being thrown from a side of the main case, the lead wires being bent for connection to the circuit substrate, and wherein the overall height of the light emitting body is generally the same as the height of the laminate of circuit substrate and batteries.
