LED flashlight with switch separate from panel
DCFirst Claim
1. A flashlight comprising:
- a light source;
a power source;
a body having an elongated shape having at least one substantially flattened side, said body being adapted to enclose the power source and at least a portion of the light source disposed on an elongated end of the body;
a discrete switch operable to close a circuit including the light source and the power source; and
a keyring clip integral with the body and extending from the body on an elongated end of the body opposite the light source, said keyring clip defined by first and second discrete members extending outwardly from opposing edges of the body in an initially parallel relationship with a distal end of the first member thereafter looping back to meet a distal end of the second member.

Abstract
A flashlight having a light-emitting diode light source with first and second leads extending therefrom, a power source, a power source frame enclosing at least a portion of the power source; a housing containing the light source and power source, a switch located adjacent the power source and operable to close a circuit including the light source and the power source, and wherein one or all of the following may be included 1) a keyring extension extending from a power source frame or the housing with the keyring extension having an opening whereby an article can be attached to the keyring extension and includes a keyring lock wherein upon exerting a force against the keyring lock, the keyring lock is opened to permit the article to be attached to the keyring extension; 2) the housing is comprised of translucent material; and 3) the housing includes at least one side cover which is not integral with the housing and the at least one side cover being selected from anodized aluminum, anodized metal, anodized metal which includes indicia, die struck metal, laser engraved metal, and a side cover having a separate medallion attached thereto.

15. A flashlight comprising:
-
a light source;
a disk-shaped power source;
a body having an elongated shape defined by a pair of opposing flattened sides, said opposing sides enclosing the power source and at least a portion of the light source disposed on an elongated end of the body;
a discrete switch disposed in one of the pair of flattened sides of the body and operable to close a circuit including the light source and the power source; and
a keyring clip integral with the body and extending from the body on an elongated end of the body opposite the light source, said keyring clip defined by first and second discrete members extending outwardly from opposing edges of the body in an initially parallel relationship with a distal end of the first member thereafter looping back to meet a distal end of the second member. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
