Description

The present invention relates to a portable lamp that uses a battery as a power source and is used at night or in a dark place.

In recent years, with the frequent occurrence of major earthquakes, the importance of preparing for disasters has increased. Under such circumstances, there is an increasing potential demand for portable lighting devices that can illuminate a relatively wide area, usually in a limited space such as indoors, and can be taken out to illuminate farther in a spot-like manner in case of emergency. There is. In order to meet these demands, a portable lighting device that is equipped with a wide range of lighting and spot lighting and that can be selected to be turned on by switching a switch has been devised. (For example, Patent Document 1).

However, in a portable lighting device with such a configuration, the fixing of the light emitting part, the circuit part and the switch in two different directions and the fixing of the battery insertion part are composed of a plurality of parts such as sandwiching by the left and right cases. Therefore, in order to perform the final confirmation by inserting the battery in the assembly process, the structure can be performed only in the finished product state.

Wiring and circuits are complicated in the configuration where light is emitted in two different directions, and the possibility of lighting failure due to improper assembly increases. However, in the outer configuration that sandwiches between multiple parts, if a lighting defect is found by checking by inserting the battery in the finished product state, disassemble the finished product, replace the parts, reassemble to the finished product state, and insert the battery again. There was a problem that it was necessary to confirm the lighting by.

Registered Utility Model No. 3019747

In a conventional portable lamp having light emitting parts in a plurality of plane directions as in Patent Document 1, lighting is confirmed by a battery which is a final judgment after assembling to the final finished product state in the assembly process. When a defect occurred, it could not be corrected without disassembling the assembled product.

An object of the present invention is to provide a portable lamp that can solve the above-mentioned problems and can be confirmed to be lit by a battery before final assembly, and can be easily assembled into a finished product.
