Abstract
A rotatable head flashlight utilizes a bulb carrier having a circuit board on which are mounted contacts which remain in engagement with energy cells in a battery compartment, a bulb-receiving socket, and a switch assembly engageable with, and operated by, a molded shelf on the inner wall of the battery compartment. The switch includes three contacts, one being a movable contact in the form of a resilient, bridge-like element overlying both of the other contacts, the latter two contacts being printed on the circuit board.
