Abstract

See full text

A structure for preventing misoperation of a flashlight is configured to prevent a flashlight from being unintentionally turned on. The structure includes a safety pin and a slide power switch slidably provided on the flashlight. The slide power switch has a recess for removably receiving the safety pin. An embrasure-like channel is provided at a lower part of the safety pin for matching a T-shaped base in an accommodating area of the flashlight. A retaining portion is provided at the T-shaped base for retaining a bulge formed inside the channel of the safety pin when the structure is not in use. When the safety pin is pushed toward the slide power switch, the bulge climbs over the retainer and is then engaged with the recess of the slide power switch. Thereby, the flashlight not in use is secured from misoperation, namely being unintentionally turned on.
