Abstract
A flat flashlight device includes an inner casing, a light generating bulb having a pair of spaced apart leads and a battery disposed between the leads, a middle folded card insert, an outer protective cover and an end cap. The inner casing includes upper and lower plates attachable to one another and together defining a cavity. The middle folded card insert extends over and substantially overlies the upper and lower plates of the inner casing and the outer protective cover has an open end and defines a pocket receiving the middle folded card insert, bulb, battery and inner casing. The end cap includes top and bottom cap members attachable to one another and together defining a cavity and a hole. The cavity receives portions of the outer protective cover, middle folded card insert and inner casing and in combination with the outer protective cover encloses the middle folded card insert, bulb and battery and inner casing. The hole in the end cap may receive a key ring therethrough. The upper and lower plates of the inner casing together form a recess exposing the bulb at the exterior of the inner casing.
