Patent ID: 6979098

Claim:
A portable electric torch, comprising: a lighting module with light-emitting diodes, at least two diodes being arranged along a first direction that is substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of each of the diodes; a switch to control lighting of the diodes; and optical transmission means for modifying a light beam emitted by the diodes through a window of a housing, the optical transmission means being mounted swivelling around a swivel pin securely fixed to the housing allowing a limited swivelling movement between an inactive position away from the diodes and an active position situated facing the diodes, the swivel pin extending in a second direction that is substantially parallel to the first direction of arrangement of the at least two diodes, being arranged under the diodes, and being located from the window at a fixed distance that is larger than a distance from the diodes to the window, the swivel pin remaining at the fixed distance when the optical transmission means is in the active position and the inactive position.
