Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a flashlight having a power supply unit containing a battery and a light emitting unit having a light source bulb.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Flashlights come in various sizes, large, medium and small, and their performance and applications vary widely. However, conventional flashlights have all the functions of illuminating the target, and some other functions include, for example, a red filter or an alarm function that enables blinking.

[0003] Furthermore, a conventional flashlight has a single function, and there is no such thing that a flashlight having a new function is changed by attachment / detachment or replacement.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a multifunctional flashlight in which a character doll can be attached and detached.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a character doll in which a mounting frame of a lens covering a light emitting portion is detachable, and a character doll is detachably mounted by fitting or screwing a character doll into an opening of the lens mounting frame. Has a shape and structure capable of transmitting light, and means for emitting light from the inside by the light of the light emitting portion. An adapter can also be used to attach the character doll to the lens mounting frame.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The flashlight according to the present invention has a power supply unit containing a battery and a light emitting unit having a light source bulb, and in this sense, has the same lighting function as a conventional flashlight. Batteries include those that can be recharged and those that cannot, and light source bulbs include so-called miniature bulbs, flashable bulbs, and other bulbs.

[0007] The flashlight has a configuration in which a mounting frame of a lens covering a light emitting unit is removable. The lens mounting frame is used to mount the lens that covers the light emitting part. The character figure is mounted by fitting or screwing in using the structure of the opening. If there is no fitting or screwing structure in the lens mounting frame, it can be replaced with a lens mounting frame with a fitting or screwing structure.

[0008] The lens attachment frame and the character doll can be directly connected. However, if it does not have a structure that can be directly connected, the lens mounting frame and the character doll must be connected using an adapter that has a mounting part for the lens mounting frame and a mounting part for the character doll. Can be.

[0009] The main body of the flashlight and the character main body are detachably attached by fitting or screwing, and have a positioning portion for positioning so as to prevent rattling when the fitting or screwing is completed. The positioning portion may be provided on either side.

[0010] The character doll has the external shape of a doll having an arbitrary character, and is capable of transmitting light, so that the character doll emits light from inside by the light of the light emitting unit. Therefore, in many cases, the character doll is formed by molding a synthetic resin, and the synthetic resin is transparent or translucent, and may have any coloring.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. 1 and 2 relate to a first embodiment of a flashlight 10 according to the present invention, which includes a power supply unit 12 having a battery 11 built therein and a light emitting unit 14 having a light source bulb 13. The light emitting section 14 has a reflecting mirror 15 and a lens 16, and is detachably attached to a mounting opening on the power supply section side by a lens attachment frame 17. The lens mounting frame 17 is connected to an external thread 19 on the power supply side by an internal thread 18.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a switch unit, which connects the power supply unit 12 and the light emitting unit 14 so as to be electrically openable and closable. The illustrated switch section 20 has a switch piece 22 that can be connected to and separated from the bulb socket 21.

The lens mounting frame 17 has a lens holding portion 23 on the inside, and further has a projection 24 on the tip side. A mounting base 26 for the character doll 25 can be fitted into the lens mounting frame 17, and a substantially L-shaped engagement groove 27 is provided on the character doll side to engage with the projection 24 and prevent the character doll 25 from slipping out when fitted. I have. A bead-shaped ridge 28 is provided on the inner surface of the lens mounting frame 17 on which the projection 24 is provided, and is pressed against the mounting base 26 of the character doll 25 to press the flashlight main body and the character doll 25. It is to be joined without delay.

The character doll 25 is a molded product of a polypropylene resin in the case of the embodiment, and the light-colored portion 29a and the dark-colored portion 29b are both colored by a colorant capable of transmitting light. Therefore, when the light source bulb 13 is turned on, the light passes through the character doll 25 and appears to the outside, so that it becomes clear as if the character doll 25 is emitting light.

FIGS. 3A and 3B show another example of the connecting means of the character doll 25. FIG. 3A shows a male-female fitting structure in which the tip of the lens mounting frame 17 is a fitting projection 31 and the inside of the mounting base 26 of the character doll 25 is a fitting recess 32. This is an example in which a bead-shaped ridge 33 and a concave groove 34 that can be engaged with the ridge 33 are provided in the portion. FIG. 3B shows an example in which screwing is used as the connecting means. In other words, a female thread 35 is formed on the inner surface of the distal end of the lens mounting frame 17, and a screw 36 is formed outside the mounting base of the character doll 25.

In order to connect the lens attachment frame 17 and the character doll 25, a ring-shaped adapter 39 having an attachment portion 37 to the lens attachment frame 17 and an attachment portion 38 to the character doll 25 is provided. It can be used (see FIG. 4). The illustrated adapter 39 uses the protrusion 24 inside the mounting frame 17 of the first embodiment, and has a similar engagement groove as the adapter 27 of the first embodiment as the adapter-side mounting portion 37. A bead-shaped ridge portion is provided as the character doll side attachment portion 38.

In these embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and subsequent figures, similarly to the first embodiment, the character figure 25 is integrated with the flashlight main body. 25 can be made to emit light, and even if the flashlight 10 is swung while the character doll 25 is attached, it is fixed by the positioning unit 40 when the fitting or screwing is completed. There is no danger that 25 will come off. Once the character doll 25 is removed, it can be used as a conventional flashlight.

Therefore, the device of the present invention can be used as a so-called flashlight, and is therefore most suitable for use at a live concert or a party.

[0019]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, the character doll can be attached and detached, so that it can be used as a so-called multi-functional flashlight for flashlight. Play.
