Claim:
A flashlight comprising: a barrel including a bottom end with a convex wall, a guide block being formed on a center of the convex wall and having an inner threading, at least one light being mounted on the barrel, at least one switch being mounted on the barrel for controlling on/off of said at least one light; a connecting member mounted to the bottom end of the barrel, the connecting member including a concave wall having a shape complementary to the convex wall of the barrel, the concave wall including a slot through which the guide block extends, allowing the barrel to move to a desired angle relative to the connecting member, a fastener being threadedly engaged with the inner threading of the guide block and including a head, the connecting member further including a plurality of pegs extending downward from a periphery of an inner wall face of the convex wall, each said peg having a peg screw hole; a seat including two seat screw holes, a larger chamber, and two smaller chambers, a protrusion being formed on each of a front end and a rear end of each of two lateral walls delimiting the larger chamber; an end cap including two end cap screw holes, the end cap covering a bottom end of the larger chamber and a bottom end of each said smaller chamber; two screws extending through the end cap screw holes and the screw holes in the seat into the peg screw holes, thereby fixing the end cap, the seat, and the connecting member together; a front leg slidably mounted in the larger chamber and movable between a retracted position in the larger chamber and an extended position outside the larger chamber, the front leg including two engaging portions respectively on inner ends of two lateral sides thereof for selectively engaging with the protrusions of the larger chamber, thereby selectively retaining the front leg in one of the retracted position in the larger chamber and the extended position outside the larger chamber; and two side legs respectively received in the smaller chambers, each said side leg having an end through which an associated one of the screws extends, thereby allowing pivotal movement of each said side leg, each said side leg being pivotable between a retracted position in an associated one of the smaller chambers and an extended position outside the associated smaller chamber.
