Time Beam torch

Selected because it is an intriguing concept and being a registered design there is a starting point.

Case number - AIBDC : 0_3129

A small key ring torch with settings to project a light beam or the time. When the torch is set to 'T' it projects the time and when set to 'L' it shines a light only. It is made from translucent polypropylene so the internal workings can be seen.
