Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of the second variant of the flashlight having a lower body section, an upper body section, and a handle section having a hook portion; the lower body section is generally cylindrical with an enlarged base portion, a slider portion, and opposed generally cylindrical handle supports; the upper body section has a cylindrical cap with a domed upper surface and a curved annular projection between the lower edge of the cylindrical cap and the upper edge of the lower body section; the enlarged base portion has spaced-apart protuberances having smooth curved surfaces which extend part-way along the lower body section and part-way across the bottom surface of the base portion; the handle section has arm portions and a lateral portion extending between the outer ends of the arm portions, the lateral portion having an intermediate depression; each arm portion has a curved intermediate projection extending the length of the outer surface thereof and the lower end of each arm portion has a domed projection; the body portion of the hook portion in a first position has the same shape as and is situated within the handle section, the hook portion having an end which extends inwardly part-way along the length of the right side arm portion of the handle section; the hook portion in the second position extends outwardly away from the lateral portion of the handle section, the hook portion having a smooth curved outer portion and an end projection which extends towards the lateral portion of the handle section; the slider portion of the lower body section has straight and parallel side edges and outwardly curved end edges; the outer surface of the slider portion has s shallow smoothly curved upper depression adjacent the upped end thereof, the shallow upper depression having a downwardly curved lower edge; the outer surface of the slider portion has a shallow, smoothly curved lower depression adjacent the lower end of the slider portion, the lower depression having straight side edges and an upwardly curved upper edge.In the first variant, the flashlight has a stand portion having the same shape as the inner surface of one side of the handle section. In the first position of the stand portion, the stand portion is situated adjacent to the inner surface of one side of the handle section. In the second position of the stand portion, the stand portion extends laterally away from the domed projections situated at the lower ends of the arm portions of the handle section.In the second variant, the bottom surface of the lower section has central concentric circles and an inner circle divided into three equal sectors.In the third variant, the bottom surface of the lower section has central concentric circles and an inner circle having a cross-hatched design and an adjacent outer circle divided into three equal sectors.In the fourth variant, the flashlight has a stand portion and the bottom surface of the lower section has central concentric circles and an inner circle divided into three equal sectors; the stand portion has the same shape as the inner surface of one side of the handle section. In the first position of the stand portion, the stand portion is situated adjacent to the inner surface of one side of the handle section. In the second position of the stand portion, the stand portion extends laterally away from the domed projections situated at the lower ends of the arm portions of the handle section.In the fifth variant, the flashing has a stand portion and the bottom surface of the lower section has central concentric circles and an inner circle having a cross-hatched design and an adjacent outer circle divided into three equal sectors; the stand portion has the same shape as the inner surface of one side of the handle section. In the first position of the stand portion, the stand portion is situated adjacent to the inner surface of one side of the handle section. In the second position of the stand portion, the stand portion extends laterally away from the domed projections situated at the lower ends of the arm portions of the handle section.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first variant of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion and the stand portion in a first position;Fig. 2 is another perspective view of a first variant of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion in a second position and the stand portion in the first position;Fig. 3 is a front view of the first variant of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion and the stand portion in the first position;Fig. 4 is a back view of the first variant of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion and the stand portion in the first position;Fig. 5 is a right side view of the first variant of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion and the stand portion in the first position;Fig. 6 is a left side view of the first variant of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion and the stand portion in the first position;Fig. 7 is a top view of the first variant of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion and the stand portion in the first position;Fig. 8 is a bottom view of the second and fourth variants of the flashlight with all other views of the second variant being identical to those of the firs variant and all other views for the fourth variant being identical to Figs. 11 to 14;Fig. 9 is a bottom view of a third and a fifth variants of the flashlight with all other views of the third variant being identical to those of the first variant and all other views for the fifth variant being identical to Figs. 11 to 14;Fig. 10 is a left side view of the first variant of the design for a flashlight with the flashlight hook portion in the first position and the stand portion in a second position;Fig. 11 is a perspective view of the flashlight with the flashlight hook portion in the first position;Fig. 12 is another perspective view of the flashlight of Fig. 11 with the flashlight hook portion in the second position;Fig. 13 is a front view of the flashlight of Fig. 11 with the flashlight hook portion in the first position; andFig. 14 is a back view of the flashlight of Fig. 11 with the flashlight hook portion in the first position.Diagrams of the design are included.
