Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a flash light with alarm and rescuer having a transparent hood at the front end. The transparent hood is incorporated with a lens, a reflective board, a color reflector and a control block in it and a plurality of electrodes and conductors along its circumference. The transparent hood is fixed to a regulator and then a fixing block. Extension and extraction of the electrodes are controlled by the regulator. The electrodes can give electric shock by pushing their corresponding button 44. Volume of alarm is controlled by a volume regulator below the fixing block by adjusting opening a hole of resonance, and lighting or blinking of the light is controlled by means of a button.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A flashlight with alarm and rescuer which will selectively blink an alarm signal, sound an alarm, and deliver an electrical shock comprising: a cylindrical casing; a transparent hood surrounding an end of said casing and having a plurality of circumferential openings therethrough; a colored reflector ring, with a reflector, bulb mounted therein and a lens mounted thereover, said ring, reflector, bulb and lens being disposed within said hood at the end of said casing, and flasher means within said casing coupled to said bulb; a plurality of biased electrodes, one slidably disposed in each opening in said hood; first rotatable regulator means surrounding said hood for selectively extending said electrodes through said openings and for retracting said electrodes into said hood, said electrodes being adapted to be charged with an electric current only when depressed in the extended position; said casing defining a resonance chamber disposed behind said reflector and bulb, adapted to contain an alarm, and sound speaker; and second rotatable means, surrounding said casing for selectively controlling the volume of said alarm; switch means for selectively delivering an electric current to said flasher, said electrodes, and said alarm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A flashlight with alarm and rescuer which will selectively blink an alarm signal, sound an alarm, and deliver an electrical shock comprising: a cylindrical casing; a transparent hood surrounding an end of said casing and having a plurality of circumferential openings therethrough; a colored reflector ring, with a reflector, bulb mounted therein and a lens mounted thereover, said ring, reflector, bulb and lens being disposed within said hood at the end of said casing, and flasher means within said casing coupled to said bulb; a plurality of biased electrodes, one slidably disposed in each opening in said hood; first rotatable regulator means surrounding said hood for selectively extending said electrodes through said openings and for retracting said electrodes into said hood, said electrodes being adapted to be charged with an electric current only when depressed in the extended position; said casing defining a resonance chamber disposed behind said reflector and bulb, adapted to contain an alarm, and sound speaker; and second rotatable means, surrounding said casing for selectively controlling the volume of said alarm; switch means for selectively delivering an electric current to said flasher, said electrodes, and said alarm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said lens has a v-seat for reflecting light from the bulb to the reflector to increase the intensity of the light emitted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the reflector defines a plurality of equidistant radial ridges surrounding the bulb to converge light before reflecting in order to increase intensity of the light emitted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
73 words
The device of claim 1 wherein two openings are disposed in said hood with two electrodes, one in each, each electrode having a needle like end adapted to extend from said hood and an opposite end mounted on said first regulator, said first regulator defining an internal cam surface whereby as said regulator is rotated, said electrodes will ride on said cam surface and move from the retracted position to the extended position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said casing defines a plurality of openings surrounding the resonance chamber and said second regulator means selectively opens or closes said openings.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said switch means comprises three buttons, each mounted on a support with arc plates so that depressing each button either completes or breaks an electrical circuit.
