FLASHLIGHT FOR LADIES HANDBAG Filed March 1965 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 INVENTOR. CECIL H. BUSH A T TORNE Y July 11, 1967 c. H. BUSH GHT FOR LADIES HANDBAG FLASHLI 2 Sheets-Sheet Filed March 4, 1965 INVENTOR. CEO/L H. BUSH A T TORNE Y United vStates Patent 3,330,949 FLASHLIGHT FOR LADIES HANDBAG Cecil H. Bush, 3123 N. Turkeyfoot Road, Akron, Ohio 44319 Filed Mar. 4, 1965, Ser. No. 437,013 4 Claims. or. 240-645) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Flashlight as for attachment in a ladies handbag, includes a backing plate having an outer peripheral edge and a hollow elastic casing yieldingly releasably attached to peripheral edge of the plate. Light bulb, battery means, and electrical circuitry in the device includes a movable switch selectively operable to light the bulb. Essential parts yieldingly contained solely by releasable attachment of elastic casing to the plate for easy assembly and replacement of said parts.
This invention relates to flashlights and, in particular, relates to a flashlight for attachment Within a ladies handbag.
One object of the present invention is to provide a flashlight for attachment within a ladies handbag, including improved switch means operable by slight pressure on the wall of the flashlight casing, whereby the flashlight is selectively operable by touch of a finger inserted within the handbag in the normal act of opening the same.
Another object of the invention is to provide a flashlight of the character described in which removable and replaceable parts are firmly retained in a circuitry by selfoperating elasticity of an enclosing container for the same, and thereby obviating the use of metal springs and metal-to-metal sliding parts.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a flashlight of the character described which is simple and economical to produce and assemble in manufacture of the same, and likewise easy to operate for replacement of batteries and flashlight bulbs.
These and other objects of the invention will be manifest from the following brief description and the accompanying drawings.
Of the accompanying drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a front elevation of a purse flashlight embodying the features of the invention.
FIGURE 2 is a rear elevation of the same.
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged end elevation of the flashlight, as viewed from the right of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 4 is a further enlarged rear elevation corresponding to FIGURE 2, but with a backing plate of the flashlight removed from its hollow casing.
FIGURE 5 is a vertical cross-section taken on the line 55 of FIGURE 1, but on the same enlarged scale as FIGURE 4.
FIGURE 6 is a horizontal cross-section taken on the line 6-6 of FIGURE 4, and on the same scale as FIG- URE 4.
FIGURE 7 is a vertical cross-section taken substantially on the line 77 of FIGURE 4, and on the same scale.
FIGURE 8 is a schematic wiring diagram of the elec trical circuitry of the flashlight.
Referring to the drawings, generally, the numeral 10 designates a flashlight housing, including a thin, rigid backing plate 11 of ovate shape defined by a peripheral edge 11a, and a casing 12 of molded rubber-like elastic material, including a generally flat wall 13 formed with an inturned marginal flange 14 to define a peripheral groove 15 complementally yieldingly receiving said peripheral edge of the plate, and thereby releasably to 3,336,949 Patented July 11, 1967 support the casing thereon. (See FIGURES 2, and 5 to 7.) The flange 14 yieldingly retains the plate 11 flatwise against the flat wall 13 of the casing, but is manually yieldingly distortable to permit rem-oval of the plate to expose the interior of the casing for purposes to be described.
As best shown in FIGURES 4 and 8, the electrical circuitry may include a light bulb 16, yieldingly or otherwise releasably received in a recessed portion 17 of casing 12 to have a light-giving end exposed downwardly of the casing (see FIGURES l, 3, 4, and 5); two batteries 19 and 20 yieldingly retained within a recess 22 formed by an outward extension 23 in the casing 12, these batteries being connected in series by a contact element 21 engaging across adjacent positive and negative poles of the batteries, at one end of the recessed portion 22, the backing plate 11 serving as a ground for the circuitry; and a movable switch contact, namely, a brass or copper button 24 mounted through a dome-shaped bulge 25 in the casing, normally to hold the grommet out of contact with ground plate 11, but the bulge 25 being inwardly depressible against the resiliency of the elastic material of the casing. At the other end of recessed portion 22, the contact 24 connects with the positive pole of battery 20, through a copper or brass rivet 26 aflixed through the wall of casing extension 23, and a wire 27 between rivet 26 and contact 24. A similarly aflixed rivet 29 in casing extension 23 connects the negative side of battery 19 with the positive side of bulb 16 through a wire 30, while the bulb is grounded by engagement of a rivet 32, in wall 13 of the elastic casing normally contacting the plate 11, and through a wire 33 from rivet 32 to the negative side of the bulb. Thus, by yieldingly depressing the bulge 25 inwardly, contact 24 grounds on plate 11 to close a circuit through the batteries to bulb 16 to light the same (see FIGURES 4 and 8).
It will be seen, therefore, that the batteries are yieldingly held in operative position in the elastic casing 12 solely by contraction stresses within the inherently resilient elastic wall of easing extension 23. That is, no springs or mechanical means other than the casing is required to hold the batteries in operative condition within the casing recess 22, as shown in FIGURE 4 (in which the backing plate 11 has been removed). Likewise, as shown in FIG- URES 2 and 5, the backing plate 11 is yieldingly retained backed against the casing wall 13' by the yielding contractile grip of the grooved outer portion of the elastic casing about the peripheral edge 11a of the plate.
For facilitating replacement of bulb 16, the same may be of known type having a threaded metal base screwed into a threaded shell secured within the recessed casing portion 17. The construction is such that upon removal of the backing plate, by distorting or stretching the flanged portion 14 of casing 12, the other above-described portions of the circuitry will remain intact within the casing. The batteries may be easily removed and replaced, however, against the elasticity of the casing material without disturbing other portions of the circuitry.
As indicated in FIGURES 2 and 5, the portions of the inner face of plate 11 overlying the batteries 19 and 20 may be provided with a coating or layer 11b of insulating material to minimize any change of shorting the circuitry.
The outer face of backing plate 11 may have atfixed thereon suitable attaching means 35, including laterally spaced, down-turned pins 36, 36 adapted to be inserted through the inner lining of a ladies handbag so that the bulb 16 will be presented downwardly therein, and so that the casing bulge will be closely adjacent the usual clasp portion of the bag, to be engageable by an inwardly extended thumb, for example, upon opening the handbag.
Accordingly, in use of the flashlight aflixed in a ladies handbag, as described above, a thumb inserted within the 'bag in the normal process of opening the bag, may be used to depress the casing bulge 25 inwardly, thereby closing the electrical circuit, as best shown in FIGURE 8, by engaging contact 24 with ground plate 11. By maintaining a grip on the wall of the bag (not shown), and at the same time holding the circuit closed by said use of the thumb, the user may manipulate the flashlight to concentrate the light of bulb 16 toward different areas within the handbag.
Thus, has been provided a simple, economical to manufacture, flashlight having the advantages set forth in the stated objects of the invention.
Modifications of the invention may be resorted to without departing from the spirit thereof, -or the scope of the appended claims.

1.

source of electrical energy, and a switch selectively operable to connect said source with said light bulb means to light the same; said switch including relatively fixed and movable contact means in a portion of said circuitry between said electrical source and said light bulb means; said casing having a depressible elastic portion carrying said movable contact and being yieldingly depressible against the inherent elasticity of the casing material to engage the movable contact with the fixed contact; said source being electrical battery means and said casing having elastic portions yieldingly retaining the same against the backing of said plate; and said backing plate being at least partly of electro-conductive material serving as a ground for said circuitry.
