The battery mounting portion 32B is provided with a terminal 40 (see Figure 4 ), the terminal 40 is electrically connected to the controller 38. In the battery mounting portion 32B, a battery pack 80 is detachably mounted. Specifically, the battery pack 80 is mounted on the battery mounting portion 32B from the front side. In addition, a connector (not shown) of the battery pack 80 is connected to the terminal, and power is supplied from the battery pack 80 to the controller 38.

[0036] In the support shell 32, on the upper side of the handle portion 32A, there is provided a support connection portion 32C as a connection portion that rotatably supports the rear end portion of the lamp portion 50 to be described later. The support connection portion 32C is formed into a roughly U-shape that is open to the front side when viewed from above, and extends from the handle portion 32A toward the upper side. Specifically, the support connection portion 32C includes a pair of left and right side walls 32C1 and a rear wall 32C2 that connects the rear ends of the pair of side walls 32C1 to each other. Thus, the support connection portion 32C has an opening portion 32C3 that is open to the upper side and the front side. The rear wall 32C2 is bent into a roughly arc shape that protrudes toward the rear side when viewed from the side from the left and right directions, and the upper end portion of the rear wall 32C2 is arranged at a position one step lower than the upper end portion of the side wall 32C1. In addition, a connecting shaft 42 (refer to Figure 4 ).

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the support housing 32, a pair of left and right hook support portions 32D ( 32D ) for supporting a hanging hook 70 described later are provided at the rear end portion of the upper end side of the handle portion 32A. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Only the hook support portion 32D on the left side is shown in the figure). The hook support portion 32D is formed into a roughly rectangular block with the front-to-back direction as the long side direction and the up-to-down direction as the thickness direction, and protrudes outward in the left-to-right direction from the outer peripheral portion of the handle portion 32A. A support hole 32E is formed through the hook support portion 32D in the left-to-right direction. Moreover, a retaining groove 32F is formed in the hook support portion 32D, which is open to the outside in the left-to-right direction, and the retaining groove 32F is formed in a roughly L-shape with the front-to-back direction as the long side direction when viewed from the left side. Specifically, the retaining groove 32F has a first retaining groove portion 32F1 extending in the front-to-back direction and a second retaining groove portion 32F2 extending from the rear end portion of the first retaining groove portion 32F1 toward the upper side, and the support hole 32E is formed at the rear end portion of the first retaining groove portion 32F1.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the lamp portion 50 is formed as a whole into a roughly hollow stepped cylindrical shape with two sections and the front-to-rear direction being axial. The outer shape of the front end portion of the lamp portion 50 observed from the front side is set to be larger than the outer shape of the middle portion of the lamp portion 50 in the front-to-rear direction, and the outer shape of the middle portion of the lamp portion 50 in the front-to-rear direction is set to be larger than the outer shape of the rear end portion of the lamp portion 50.

[0039] The rear end of the lamp unit 50 is configured as a connected portion 50A. The connected portion 50A is arranged in the support connection portion 32C of the lamp support portion 30 and is rotatably supported by the connection shaft 42. Thus, the lamp unit 50 is rotatably connected to the support connection portion 32C with the left-right direction as the axial direction. Specifically, the lamp unit 50 is configured to be rotatable at the front projection position ( Figures 1 to 4 The position shown) and the upper side light projection position ( Figure 5 The upper projection position is a position rotated approximately 90 degrees clockwise from the front projection position when viewed from the left. At the front projection position of the lamp unit 50, the front end side portion (front end side portion) of the connected portion 50A protrudes toward the front from the opening portion 32C3 of the supporting connection portion 32C, and at the upper projection position of the lamp unit 50, the front end side portion (upper end side portion) of the connected portion 50A protrudes toward the upper from the opening portion 32C3 of the supporting connection portion 32C. In addition, a dividing mechanism 52 is provided inside the connected portion 50A, and the dividing mechanism 52 is configured as a mechanism portion as described below, that is, the lamp unit 50 is maintained at the front projection position or the upper projection position, and the lamp unit 50 is maintained at a predetermined angle (every 15 degrees in this embodiment) between the front projection position and the upper projection position. Furthermore, in the initial state of the flashlight 10, the lamp unit 50 is arranged at the front light projection position, and the operator can rotate the lamp unit 50 toward the upper light projection position, thereby changing the posture of the lamp unit 50 according to the working form.

[0040] At the front end of the lamp unit 50, a substrate 54 is provided with a thickness direction in the front-to-back direction, and on the front surface of the substrate 54, a light source 56 including a light emitting diode (LED) is provided. The light source 56 is electrically connected to the controller 38, and is configured to emit light under the control of the controller 38 and irradiate the emitted light to the front side. In the front end of the lamp unit 50, a lens 58 is provided on the front side of the light source 56, and a lens cover 60 is installed on the front side of the lens 58 at the front end of the lamp unit 50. Then, the operation button 34 is pressed by the operator, and the light source 56 is illuminated under the control of the controller 38, thereby, the light irradiated from the light source 56 to the front side is transmitted through the lens 58 and the lens cover 60 to illuminate the front side of the lamp unit 50. That is, the light emitted by the light source 56 corresponds to the conversion output of the present invention.

[0041] (Regarding the suspension hook 70) Figure 8 As shown, the hanging hook 70 is configured to be hooked on a single-tube pipe P as a long member extending in the left-right direction, and the flashlight body 20 is hung from the single-tube pipe P by hooking the hanging hook 70 on the single-tube pipe P. The hanging hook 70 is rotatably (movably) connected to the lamp support portion 30 of the flashlight body 20, and is configured to be switchable to a storage position (storage position) stored along the outer periphery of the lamp support portion 30. Figures 1 to 5 The position shown in the figure) or the hooking position ( Figure 7 and Figure 8 Hereinafter, the structure of the hanging hook 70 will be described using the hanging hook 70 arranged in the storage position.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the suspending hook 70 includes a metal rod-shaped member and is bent into a predetermined shape. Specifically, the suspending hook 70 includes a pair of side hooks 72L and 72R constituting both sides of the suspending hook 70 in the longitudinal direction and a middle hook portion 74 as a connecting portion constituting the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the suspending hook 70 and connecting the pair of side hooks 72L and 72R. In addition, the side hook portion 72L corresponds to the first hook portion of the present invention, and the side hook portion 72R corresponds to the second hook portion of the present invention.

[0043] The side hooks 72L and 72R are bent into a substantially U-shape that is open to the rear side when viewed from the side. Specifically, the side hooks 72L and 72R include a first strip 72A extending in the front-rear direction, a second strip 72B extending upward from the front end of the first strip 72A, and a third strip 72C extending rearward from the upper end of the second strip 72B. In addition, the connection between the first strip 72A and the second strip 72B and the connection between the second strip 72B and the third strip 72C are bent into a substantially arc shape. Moreover, the extension length of the third strip 72C is set shorter than the extension length of the first strip 72A. A hook connection portion 72D that is bent inward in the left-right direction is formed at the rear end of the first strip 72A (the two ends of the suspending hook 70). In addition, the vertical distance between the first stripe portion 72A and the third stripe portion 72C or the extension length of the first stripe portion 72A and the third stripe portion 72C is set so that the single-tube pipe P can be inserted into the side hook portions 72L and 72R.

[0044] The middle hook portion 74 extends in the left-right direction and is curved into a generally arc shape that opens toward the front side in a plan view, and both ends in the longitudinal direction of the middle hook portion 74 are connected to the rear end of the third strip portion 72C. The rear end 74A of the middle hook portion 74 is located slightly behind the hook connection portion 72D in a side view.

[0045] The side hooks 72L and 72R are respectively arranged on the left-right outer sides of the support connection portion 32C in the lamp support portion 30, and the hook connection portion 72D is rotatably inserted from the left-right outer sides into the support hole 32E of the lamp support portion 30. Thus, the suspending hook 70 is rotatably connected to the lamp support portion 30 with the left-right direction as the axial direction.

[0046] Furthermore, the side hooks 72L and 72R are arranged so as to substantially overlap with the flashlight body 20 when viewed from the left-right direction. Specifically, when viewed from the left-right direction, the first strip 72A and the second strip 72B are arranged so as to overlap with the lamp support portion 30 (support connection portion 32C), and the third strip 72C is located above the support connection portion 32C. Furthermore, the middle hook 74 protrudes above and to the rear of the lamp support portion 30 (support connection portion 32C) so as not to substantially overlap with the battery pack 80 at least. In addition, the side hooks 72L and 72R are arranged outside the support connection portion 32C in the left-right direction, so that the side hooks 72L and 72R do not overlap with the opening 32C3 of the support connection portion 32C when viewed from above. Furthermore, the side hooks 72L and 72R are arranged so as to overlap with the battery mounting portion 32B when viewed from above. That is, the side hooks 72L and 72R are arranged so as not to protrude further outward in the left-right direction than the battery mounting portion 32B (see Figure 2 ).

[0047] The middle hook portion 74 is disposed at a distance from the upper side of the rear wall 32C2 in the support connection portion 32C, and a predetermined gap G is formed in the vertical direction between the rear end portion 74A of the middle hook portion 74 and the rear wall 32C2 (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ). Furthermore, the middle hook portion 74 is located behind the opening portion 32C3 so that the middle hook portion 74 does not overlap with the opening portion 32C3 of the support connection portion 32C when viewed from above. As a result, the connected portion 50A of the lamp portion 50 at the upper light projection position does not interfere with the suspending hook 70 and protrudes upward from the opening portion 32C3 (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 5 ). In addition, a notch portion 50B is formed on the outer periphery of the lamp portion 50 in front of the hanging hook 70. The notch portion 50B is arranged in a spaced manner in front of the second strip portion 72B and is inclined outward in the left-right direction as it moves toward the front side when viewed from above. And the structure is such that when the lamp portion 50 rotates between the front light-emitting position and the upper light-emitting position, interference between the lamp portion 50 and the hanging hook 70 is avoided by the notch portion 50B. Furthermore, the hanging hook 70 and the battery pack 80 are arranged at positions that are offset in the up-down direction, so that when viewed from the installation direction side (front side) of the battery pack 80, the hanging hook 70 is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the battery pack 80.

[0048] Furthermore, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the first strip 72A is inserted into the first holding groove 32F1, the first strip 72A is engaged with the first holding groove 32F1, and the hanging hook 70 is held in the storage position. The first strip 72A of the side hooks 72L and 72R is configured to be elastically deformable in the left-right direction, and the first strip 72A is elastically deformed outward in the left-right direction to release the insertion state of the first strip 72A in the first holding groove 32F1, so that the hanging hook 70 can be rotated from the storage position to the hooking position side.

[0049] And, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when viewed from the left side, the hanging hook 70 is rotated approximately 90 degrees clockwise around the hook connection portion 72D, whereby the hanging hook 70 is arranged in the hooking position. In the hooking position, when viewed from the left and right directions, the hanging hook 70 (the side hook portions 72L, 72R and the middle hook portion 74) protrudes toward the rear side in a manner that does not substantially overlap with the flashlight body 20 and the battery pack 80. Specifically, in the hooking position, the hanging hook 70 protrudes toward the rear side from the supporting connection portion 32C and the battery pack 80 in a manner that can be hooked on the single-tube pipe P. More specifically, when viewed from the side, the side hook portions 72L, 72R are open toward the lower side, so that the substantially entire interior of the hanging hook 70 is arranged so as not to overlap with the flashlight body 20. Thus, the single-tube pipe P extending in the left-right direction is inserted into the hanging hook 70 and the side hooks 72L and 72R are hooked on the single-tube pipe P, thereby hanging the flashlight body 20 from the single-tube pipe P. In addition, in the hooking position of the hanging hook 70, the first strip 72A is inserted into the second holding groove 32F2, and the first strip 72A is engaged with the second holding groove 32F2 to hold the hanging hook 70 in the hooking position.

[0050] (Function and Effect) Next, the function and effect of this embodiment will be described.

[0051] In the initial state of the flashlight 10 constructed as described above, the lamp unit 50 is arranged at the front light projection position, and the hanging hook 70 is arranged at the storage position. When the flashlight 10 is used to illuminate the front side, the operator presses the operation button 34 toward the rear side, thereby causing the light source 56 to emit light through the controller 38, and the emitted light is irradiated toward the front side. When the flashlight 10 is turned off, the operator presses the operation button 34 toward the rear side again, thereby causing the light source 56 to turn off through the controller 38.

[0052] Furthermore, when the flashlight 10 is suspended on the single-tube pipe P, the suspension hook 70 is rotated clockwise when viewed from the left side. At this time, the side hooks 72L and 72R of the suspension hook 70 are elastically deformed outward in the left-right direction, the engagement state between the first strip 72A and the first retaining groove 32F1 is released, and the rotation of the suspension hook 70 toward the hooking position side is allowed. When the suspension hook 70 is rotated to the hooking position, the first strip 72A of the side hooks 72L and 72R is embedded in the second retaining groove 32F2, and the first strip 72A is engaged with the second retaining groove 32F2. Thus, the suspension hook 70 protrudes to the rear side of the flashlight body 20 and the battery pack 80 in a manner that allows it to be hooked on the single-tube pipe P. Then, the flashlight 10 is arranged so that the single-tube pipe P is located below the side hooks 72L and 72R, and the flashlight 10 is moved downward to insert the single-tube pipe P from the openings of the side hooks 72L and 72R into the side hooks 72L and 72R. Thus, the side hooks 72L and 72R are hooked on the single-tube pipe P, and the flashlight body 20 is suspended on the single-tube pipe P.

[0053] In this way, in the flashlight 10, the hanging hook 70 is connected to the flashlight body 20 so as to be rotatable (movable) between the storage position and the hooking position. Furthermore, in the hooking position, the side hooks 72L and 72R protrude in a manner that does not substantially overlap with the flashlight body 20 and the battery pack 80, so that the hanging hook 70 can be stably hooked on the single-tube pipe P. On the other hand, in the storage position, the side hooks 72L and 72R are stored in a manner that substantially overlaps with the flashlight body 20, so that the hanging hook 70 can be compactly stored. Moreover, the relative positions of the side hooks 72L and 72R in the hooking position can be stabilized by the middle hook 74. Furthermore, in the storage position, the middle hook 74 at least does not overlap with the battery pack 80, so that the battery pack 80 can be loaded and unloaded. As described above, the convenience of the flashlight 10 can be improved.

[0054] More specifically, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the side hook portion 72 is located outside the flashlight body 20 in the left-right direction. Thus, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the side hook portion 72 is arranged to overlap with the flashlight body 20 when viewed from the side, so that when the hanging hook 70 is not in use, the hanging hook 70 can be stored along the outer periphery of the flashlight body 20. In addition, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the hanging hook 70 is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the battery pack 80 when viewed from the front side (the side in which the battery pack 80 is installed). Therefore, interference between the battery pack 80 and the hanging hook 70 can be avoided when the battery pack 80 is loaded and unloaded. That is, the battery pack 80 can be loaded and unloaded in a state where the hanging hook 70 is in the storage position. In addition, in the hooking position of the hanging hook 70, the side hook portion 72 can be hooked on the single-tube pipe P and arranged on the rear side of the flashlight body 20. That is, at the hooking position of the hanging hook 70, the flashlight body 20 is not arranged below the hanging hook 70, so the side hook 72 can be easily hooked on the single-tube pipe P located below the side hook 72. As described above, according to the flashlight 10 of this embodiment, the convenience of the flashlight 10 can be improved.

[0055] Furthermore, the flashlight body 20 includes a lamp portion 50 having a light source 56, a lamp support portion 30 having a battery mounting portion 32B for detachably mounting a battery pack 80, and a support connection portion 32C provided on the lamp support portion 30. The connected portion 50A of the lamp portion 50 is connected to the support connection portion 32C, and the side hook portions 72L and 72R are located outside the support connection portion 32C in the left-right direction in the storage position of the hanging hook 70. That is, the support connection portion 32C, the lamp portion 50 located near the support connection portion 32C, the handle portion 32A, and the battery mounting portion 32B are located between the side hook portions 72L and 72R in the left-right direction. As a result, the hanging hook 70 can be compactly stored around the support connection portion 32C (outside in the left-right direction).

[0056] Moreover, the support connection part 32C covers the connected part 50A of the lamp unit 50 from the outside and the rear side in the left-right direction, and has an opening part 32C3 opened to the upper side, and the connected part 50A is rotatably supported on the connecting shaft 42 mounted on the side wall 32C1 of the support connection part 32C. Furthermore, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the hanging hook 70 is located at a position that does not overlap with the opening part 32C3 when viewed from above. That is, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the middle hook part 74 is arranged at a position that does not contact the lamp unit 50 that rotates relative to the lamp support part 30. As a result, when the lamp unit 50 rotates to the upper projection position, interference between the lamp unit 50 and the hanging hook 70 can be avoided, and the lamp unit 50 protrudes from the opening part 32C3 to the upper side.

[0057] Furthermore, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the middle hook portion 74 is arranged at a distance from the upper side of the supporting connection portion 32C, and is bent into an arc shape that is open to the front side when viewed from the upper side. That is, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, when viewed from the left and right directions, the middle hook portion 74 protrudes upward in a manner that does not substantially overlap with the flashlight body 20 and the battery pack 80. Specifically, the rear end portion 74A of the middle hook portion 74 is arranged at a distance from a predetermined gap G on the upper side of the rear wall 32C2 of the supporting connection portion 32C. Thus, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, for example, by inserting the lower end of the S-shaped rod-shaped hook member 100 into the gap G, the rear end 74A of the middle hook portion 74 is hooked on the hook member 100, and the upper portion of the hook member 100 is hooked on the single-tube pipe P, so that the flashlight body 20 in the state where the hanging hook 70 is in the storage position can be hung on the single-tube pipe P. Therefore, the convenience of the flashlight 10 can be further improved.

[0058] Furthermore, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the middle hook portion 74 is arranged at a position overlapping with the support connection portion 32C as viewed from the upper side. Thus, in the storage position of the hanging hook 70, the middle hook portion 74 can be prevented from excessively protruding to the rear side of the support connection portion 32C. Therefore, the enlargement of the hanging hook 70 can be prevented, and even the enlargement of the flashlight 10 can be prevented.

[0059] Moreover, the battery pack 80 is mounted on the lower end of the flashlight body 20, and the hanging hook 70 is located above the battery pack 80. Furthermore, at the hooking position of the hanging hook 70, the side hooks 72L and 72R protrude to the rear side of the battery pack 80. Thus, when the side hooks 72L and 72R are hooked on the single-tube pipe P, the interference between the single-tube pipe P located below the side hooks 72L and 72R and the battery pack 80 can be suppressed. Therefore, the convenience of the flashlight 10 can be further improved. Moreover, by mounting the battery pack 80 on the lower end of the flashlight body 20, the battery pack 80 can be configured as the lower end of the flashlight 10. Thus, for example, the battery pack 80 can be set on the ground, etc., and the flashlight 10 can be set to a state of standing on the ground.

[0060] In addition, the side hooks 72L and 72R overlap the battery mounting portion 32B in a plan view. This can prevent the suspending hooks 70 from becoming larger in the left-right direction, and can also place the pair of suspending hooks 70 outside the support-connecting portion 32C in the left-right direction.
