Abstract
A flashlight device includes a body structure, light generating module, holder, card and outer cover. The body structure has a cavity between upper and lower sides thereof, open at least at the upper side, and closer to a front end than to a rear end thereof. The body structure also has a channel between the upper and lower sides, extending between the cavity and front end, and open to the cavity, upper side and front end. The holder has an annular portion and spaced apart leg portions connected thereto and extending therefrom such that the annular and leg portions insert and fit within the cavity and channel of the body structure and seat therein the light actuating and generating components of the module. The card covers the upper side of the body structure and the module and holder. The cover encases the body structure, module, holder and card.
