This invention relates to a flashlight (1) that may be seen in the dark, (2) which carries a universal mounting on one external wall, and (3) an internal switch adjacent the opposite wall which is elastic and which on pressing will close the switch. By mounting the flashlight above, for example, a keyhole, the flashlight can be seen, and when the outer wall is pressed, the keyhole is illuminated. Moreover, the light bulb within three or four seconds restores the phosphorescent band to luminosity, (reactivation chamber) because part of it is located in a regenerative phosphorescent chamber so that it performs not only the normal lighting function, but regenerates the phosphorescent material on the chamber walls as well. The phosphorescent material, a zinc sulphide or zinc-cadmium sulphide (harmless) has a persistence of glow of two to twelve hours.

An electrical flashlight comprising a flashlight case having a resilient contact portion of electrically insulating material, at least first and second electrically coupled batteries carried within said case, each of said batteries having an electrically conducting can acting as one terminal thereof

An electrical flashlight comprising a flashlight case having a resilient contact portion of electrically insulating material, at least first and second electrically coupled batteries carried within said case, each of said batteries having an electrically conducting can acting as one terminal thereof and a terminal post acting as a second terminal of opposite polarity electrically isolated from said can, an externally directed electrically energizable flashlight bulb carried by said case and having a pair of electrical terminals, each one of said terminals being mutually exclusively electrically coupled to a terminal of opposite polarity of each of said batteries, and a resilient electrically conducting cantilevered switch wire having one end electrically coupled to and supported from one terminal of one of said batteries and an opposite free end extending to a position normally adjacent to and spaced from a terminal of opposite polarity of the other of said batteries, said switch wire being carried within said case adjacent to said resilient electrically insulating contact portion such that said switch wire is closed into electrical contact with said adjacent normally spaced battery terminal to illuminate said flashlight bulb upon flexing said resilient contact portion of said flashlight case.
