Abstract

L'invention concerne une lampe de poche comprenant un boîtier de lampe de poche et une tête de lampe de poche. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de fabrication de cette lampe de poche. L'invention vise à produire une lampe de poche robuste et de structure simple pourvue d'un commutateur rotatif, permettant une mise en correspondance évidente de la fonction choisie, de sorte qu'un contrôle de fonctionnement régulier ne soit plus nécessaire. À cet effet, le boîtier de lampe de poche et la tête de lampe de poche sont reliés de manière imperdable et rotative l'un par rapport à l'autre pour former un commutateur rotatif présentant différents états de commutation, des repères étant présents côté boîtier et côté tête de lampe, ces repères permettant une mise en correspondance évidente des états de commutation. En outre, après le premier montage de la lampe de poche et après une première commutation, les états de commutation sont déterminés de manière évidente au moyen d'un repère côté tête de lampe et d'un repère côté boîtier respectifs en vue d'opérations de commutation ultérieures.
