Abstract (en)
This invention is related to a portable, hand-held flashlight (10) that has a plurality of operative configurations. The flashlight includes a variable intermediate section (50) that allows the flashlight to be in a collapsed configuration or one or more expanded configurations. The flashlight is configured to be repeatedly varied between the collapsed configuration and the expanded configuration(s), with the intermediate section (50) configured to self-retain a shape and length when bent, extended, or collapsed by a user. The flashlight also includes a movable clamp jaw body (72) and a hook (80) that both allow the flashlight to be temporarily mounted to a suitable structure, so that the flashlight does not need to be held by hand while providing illumination. The flashlight may also include magnets (90).
