It is composed of a main body 1 for accommodating a battery, a battery lid 2, a switch 3, a front base 4 and a clip portion 5. This body 1
Is a conductive plate arranged along the inner side surface, a contact plate arranged so that one end contacts the positive electrode side terminal of the battery and the other end contacts the positive electrode side terminal of the light source when the battery is set, and one end Consists of a contact plate which contacts the negative terminal of the light source and the other end of which is arranged in the vicinity of the inside of the conduction plate, and a socket which holds these two contact plates. A battery spring is arranged on the battery lid 2 fitted with the main body 1 in a bayonet manner so as to contact the negative electrode side terminal of the battery and the conducting plate when the battery is set. Further, a rib 13 for holding the ball 12 of the ball joint provided in the clip portion 5 is provided outside the battery lid 2. In the present embodiment, the first connecting member in the claims is formed integrally with the clip portion 5 and has the ball 12 which is a spherical head. The second connecting member is composed of the main body 1 and the ribs 13, and is fitted into the receiving portion of the head of the first connecting member by about three-fourths. Here, when the ball 12 of the ball joint is fitted into the rib 13, a cutout portion 14 is provided in a part of the rib 13, and the cutout portion 14 has an O
Secure the ball holding force by breaking the ring 15. It is even more preferable to use a rubber material / O-ring made of a self-lubricating rubber in place of the O-ring 15, because the frictional force can be appropriately maintained. A rotatable switch 3 is attached to the outside of the main body 1, and a convex portion 16 is provided on the switch 3. A lens and a reflecting mirror are arranged on the front base 4 that is screw-fitted to the switch 3.
