Abstract
A miniature flashlight device includes a housing having a base and a cover adapted to interfit with the base so as to form therewith an outer enclosure for receiving an electric bulb and an inner enclosure within the outer enclosure for receiving a button-cell battery. The cover has a flexible portion overlying the inner enclosure and capable of being depressed by a user from an outer relaxed configuration to an inner flexed configuration in which the flexible portion of the cover is deflected toward the inner enclosure and capable of returning to the outer relaxed configuration upon release by the user.
