Description
JULIUS SAMACH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., 00., INQ, OF NEW YORK, N.
ASSIGNOR TO ENTERPRISE ELECTRIC NOVELTY Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
PORTABLE FLASH-LIGHT.
S ecification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 19, 1918.
Application filed June 30, 1517. Serial No. 177,928.
To all whom it may concern Be it; known that I, JULIUS SAMACH, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Flash-Lights, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates in general to an improvement in electric portable flash lights and particularly reates to afinounting for holding in place a nvell known commercial article which forms a single unit including a. reflector and light therefor.
One of the objects of the itiventim'l is to simplify the usual types of such mountings and to provide a non-short cit-suiting holder for the reflector and associated parts. I attain this invention by designing a simple readily removable insert for the containing casing which insert will provide in the one article a means for insulating the reflector fromthe casing, a means for securely holding the reflector in position insulated from the casing to prevent accidental short circuiting and a means for providin an electric terminal connected electrically to the lamp and constituting the coacting element of a controlling circuit closer.
Specifically the insert is in the form cl disk of insulating material shaped to lit. the metallic containing casing and which is provided with an openin outlined by a metallie ring spaced from t 1e casing and designed to have the reflector fit therein. The ring is so mounted in the containing casing that it is disposed in the path of the moval-le element of the circuit closer thus eliminating the necessity of providing a separate contact for the movable element of the usual circuit closer used with such devices.
Various other objects and advantages of the invention will be in part obvious from an inspection of the accompanying drawings and in part will be more fully set forth in the following particular description of one form of mechanism embodying my invention, and the invention also consists in certain new and novel features of construction and combination of'parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.
Referring to the accompanying drawings:
Firms 1 is a side view of a flashlight uith the forward end broken away to show a preferred embodinn-nt of my stalled therein;
Fig. 2 is, a perspective view of the mount-- disk shown in Fig. 1; and
igs. 3 and t are transverse sectional views showing slightly modified forms of the reflector holding rings.
In the following description and in the claims, parts will be identified by specific names for convenience of expression but they are intended to be as generic in their application to similar par as the art will permit.
In the drawings there is shown a metallic containing casing 10 eon: .ining a battery 11 to supply current to a lamp 1? carried by a metallic reflector 13. It is understood that this funnel shaped reflector with the socket of the lamp screwed into its small end is a well known article of commerce used in connection with flash lights. The casing is provided interiorly with a groove 14 adjacent; its forward end, which end is screw threaded as shown at 15 to receive a retaining ring 16 designed to hold the lens 17 in place on the. casing and in engagement with. the open end 18 of the reflector as is used in one form of such flash lights.
A disk it of insulating material, such as emnpres paper composition, is fitted within.the n, ie 1% by springing the same in place. The dish provided. with a c n tr liy' diagnosed opening outlined by a metallie ring 20. havinga tint rear face 531 fas tened to the disk by .rhets In some forms of the device this ring is spun to provide a frusto-conieal seat 23 constituting a bowl shaped. abutment to receive the small end of thekretleetor 13 While permitting the lamp base and its socket 24 to pass therethrough to contact with the battery 11. In the form shown in Fig. 3 a plate 20 may be positioned on the front of the disk 19 to contact with and center the reflector or, in the invent ion inform shown in Fig. 4, the reflector may be
