Patent ID: 8403521

Claim:
A structurally improved flashlight, comprising a main body and a handle coupled to the main body at a guiding groove depressed from a bottom of the main body; the handle having a pair of matching housing parts, a trigger, a safety mechanism and a spring; each of the two housing parts having a notch for accommodating the trigger; a zigzag room being formed at a lower part of the trigger and communicated with openings formed at two laterals of the trigger, so that the safety mechanism having a downward extending retaining portion is allowed to be set in the zigzag room with two ends of the safety mechanism jutting out of two aligned holes formed on the two housing parts; a magnet being provided at an upper surface of the trigger for removably engaging a reed switch installed on the main body; a hole being formed at a rear surface of the trigger for receiving one end of the spring, such that an opposite end of the spring is received in recesses formed in the two housing parts to press against the housing parts, thereby enabling the trigger to resiliently move to and from; and the handle such assembled serving to control illumination phases of the flashlight; when pulled backward, the trigger making the magnet depart from the reed switch on the main body, and when released, the trigger returning to a normal position thereof to make the magnet approach and correspond to the reed switch again, thereby switching a light source in the main body in terms of light intensity, blinking, and on/off status according to preset programs.
