Abstract
A flashlight and writing implement combination wherein the device is interiorly illuminated, and ultimately conducts such illumination in either of two directions, depending upon on which end the cap of the implement is placed. The cap includes reflective means for reversing light-flow back through the light-conductive or translucent barrel, toward the end piece and to the writing tip itself, concentrically thereabout. Optionally, the cap is disposed on the reverse end, in which event the light is actuated to send illumination in the opposite direction, the device thereby serving as a flashlight. Aperture means may be provided the cap so that the usually provided clip can be depressed to actuate the pressure switch of the implement. The cap can be made of a resilient deformable plastic material so that by squeezing the same the pressure switch means of the implement may be actuated.
