| Abstract: |
A wrist mounted flashlight has a sliding lens. The lens has a white light section and a red light section. The case of the flashlight contains batteries and electrical contacts. An arm is attached to the lens and extends into the case. Sliding the lens to either the red light or the white light position causes the arm to engage the electrical contact with the batteries and bulb to energize the light. The bulb in mounted at an inclination relative to the wrist contacting surface of the case. The bulb extends into a space between the batteries.

1. A wrist mounted flashlight, comprising in combination:
- a case, having a rearward end and a forward end, with an aperture located in the forward end;
- means for strapping the case about the wrist of a user with the forward end facing toward the distal end of the user's hand;
- retaining means inside the case for retaining a pair of batteries, and for retaining a bulb at the aperture;
- electrical contact means in the case, movable between an engaged position electrically contacting the batteries with the bulb to energize the bulb, and a disengaged position electrically disengaging the batteries with the bulb;
- a lens having a red light section and a white light section;
- mounting means for mounting the lens to the forward end of the case for sliding movement between a red light position in which light from the bulb passes through the red light section and is blocked from the white light section, and a white light position in which light from the bulb passes through the white light section and is blocked from the red light section, and an off position in which the bulb is not illuminated; and
- actuator means mounted to the lens for movement therewith, for moving the electrical contact means to the engaged position when the lens is in the red light position and also in the white light position, and for moving the electrical contact means to the disengaged position when the lens is in the off position.
