The invention relates to a charging station with a charging contact device () and an accumulator-operated flashlight () with charging contacts (), arranged transverse to the flashlight longitudinal axis and insulated with respect to one another, on the flashlight housing casing, which, when the accumulators are being recharged, bear electrically conductively against charging contact points () of the charging contact device (). According to the invention the charging station is characterised in that each of the two charging contacts () extends on the flashlight housing over a circular arc of &#x3c;180&#xb0;, in that the charging contact device () has a base body () with a contact face () and two side bodies () with faces on which charging contact points () are arranged, and in that the side bodies () each contain a magnet (), the magnetic force field of which is able to fix the positioning of the flashlight () in a stable and functionally reliable manner when the accumulators are being recharged.

Charging station for flashlights

The invention relates to a torch having a housing in which at least one LED secured to a carrier element, and a lens system, are arranged and can be displaced relative to one another in order to focus the cone of light that is emitted. According to the invention, a seal consisting of a membrane () closes the space () between the LED () and the lens system () in a watertight and dust-proof manner.

Torch

The present invention relates to a head lamp or flashlight () comprising a light source () and an auxiliary optical unit (). In order to propose a head lamp or flashlight (), the emitted light cone (') of which generates a stable light cone (&#x2032;) even in the case of movements and/or vibrations and which allows a uniform and flicker-free illumination of the path (&#x2032;) ahead, it is proposed that the light source consists of a matrix () having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) or having a plurality of groups of LEDs which are positioned differently relative to the auxiliary lens (), such that the different LEDs or the different groups of LEDs generate light cones (&#x2032;) with different emission angles with respect to the optical axis () of the lamp, wherein the matrix () is connected to a microprocessor () which, depending on input data, regulates which LED or which group of LEDs of the matrix () is luminous, as a result of which a stable light cone (&#x2032;) is emitted independently of a movement of the lamp ().

Head lamp or flashlight

A torch (flashlight) and a method for producing a torch housing and a torch head provides a torch which is of simple design and is robust. The torch has a rotary switch, in which torch clear classification of the selected function is possible, so that regular function monitoring can be dispensed with. The torch housing and the torch head can be connected in a captive manner and so as to be rotated in relation to one another to form a rotary switch having different switching states. Markings are arranged on the housing and on the lamp head. The markings allowing clear classification of the switching states. After the torch is first assembled and after the torch is first switched on, to clearly define the switching states by in each case a torch-head-side and a housing-side marking for subsequent switch-on processes.
