A compact form of torch which can resemble a lipstick in size and shape so that it can be carried in a handbag comprises a base rotatably supporting a sleeve to move torch between a retracted non-working position and a projecting position. A battery holder is axially movable by engagement of pins projecting from the holder into spiral grooves in the sleeve. A bulb holder is resiliently urged away from the battery holder and constrained to move axially corresponding to the movement of the battery holder except that the bulb holder reaches a stop position just before the battery holder reaches the projecting position so that slight further axial movement of the battery holder causes contact between the lamp carried by the lamp carrier and a battery carried by the battery holder to energize the lamp in the projecting position of the torch.

A torch having a retracted non-working position and a projecting position where the bulb of the torch is energised by a battery, said torch comprising: a base, a sleeve rotatably supported by said base and capable of being twisted relative said base to move said torch between said retracted position

A torch having a retracted non-working position and a projecting position where the bulb of the torch is energised by a battery, said torch comprising: a base, a sleeve rotatably supported by said base and capable of being twisted relative said base to move said torch between said retracted position and said projecting position, a battery holder, a battery in said holder, pins projecting from said holder, a spiral groove on said sleeve into which said pins project to guide said holder in axial movement relative the axis of rotation of said sleeve, a bulb holder resiliently urged away from said battery holder, a bulb in said bulb holder, an axial guide on said base through which said pins on the battery holder project to constrain said holder to axial movement, guide pins projecting from said bulb holder which also project into said axial guide to constrain said bulb holder to axial movement corresponding to that of said battery holder, a stop position for said axial guide where further axial movement of said bulb holder is prevented as it approaches said projecting position but further movement of the battery holder causes contact between said lamp carried by the lamp holder and said battery carried by the battery holder to energise said lamp.
