PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
This invention relates to the field of electro-mechanical appliances.
Particularly, this invention relates to the field of torches.
More particularly, this invention relates to a manual power actuated torch.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
A torch is a portable electronic device which includes a bulb and a set of batteries electronically coupled to the bulb for operating the bulb. A switch is provided in order to switch the battery on or off.
Torch intensity depends upon use of the torch. There are flashlights used for search and rescue operations in deserted areas or jungles which have an extremely luminous light bulb and which require a large number of batteries to power it. There are pencil torches for home use with a small focused bulb and simple pencil cells.
Depending upon its use, function, and more importantly luminous capacity of the bulb, the batteries are selected to power it. The dependence upon batteries is a cumbersome aspect of the torch. In instances wherein the frequency of illumination required by a torch is not much, a user may forget to keep the batteries in place or monitor whether the batteries have leaked or monitor the charge in case of rechargeable batteries (since they stored leak charge over a period of time, when unused). Further still, in its use in an obscure location such as a jungle or a village, or with any locality without

access to a provision store, it is extremely inconvenient to have a torch dependent upon batteries or static sources of power supply.
Hence, there is a need for a battery-less torch.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
An object of the invention is to provide a torch and torch light which is independent of external static sources of energy.
Another object of the invention is to provide a torch and torch light which is independent of external stored sources of energy.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a torch and torch light which is battery -independent.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an anytime use torch and torch light.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a torch and torch light which can be particularly used in case of an emergency where light is needed but there is not sufficient power in the batteries.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
The invention will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 illustrates a first schematic of the torch and torch light; and
Figures 2a and 2b illustrate various views of the second embodiment of the torch and torch light.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
According to this invention, there is provide a torch and torch light, said torch being a manual power actuated torch.
Figure 1 illustrates a first schematic (100) of the torch and torch light.
In accordance with an embodiment of this invention, there is provided a torch with a luminous source such as a bulb (B). The bulb may be selected in accordance with the luminous intensity desired. This assembly is one of the many standard torch assemblies with the reflective base or surrounding, a transparent (glass) surface, wiring to illuminate the bulb and the like.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, there is provided an alternator or a generator (AG) adapted to generate power to light up the bulb. The alternator or a generator may be a linear alternation mechanism or a rotary alternation mechanism within the body of the torch. This mechanism is adapted to be responsible for generation of electricity with the help of air pressure. A linear alternator is essentially a linear motor used as an electrical generator. An alternator is a type of alternating current electrical generator. The devices are often physically equivalent. An alternator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. Like most electric motors and electric generators, the linear alternator works by the principle of electromagnetic induction. However, most alternators work with rotary motion, whereas "linear" alternators work with "linear" motion (i.e. motion in a straight line). Their source of actuation or alternation may be non-linear sources.

In accordance with yet another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a hand operated air pump (AP) which is an elastic body, advantageously located external to the torch such that it may be used to carry the torch as well as to perform its function of pumping air. It generates air pressure to drive the linear alternation mechanism. Air pressure is created by the pump similar to the one used for inflating the handcuff generally used in a sphygmomanometer (for BP measurement). The pump may be a hand cuff which actuates the air pressure mechanism and alternator by movement of the hand.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a metallic chamber which serves as the body of the torch, said metallic chamber (CM) ensconces within itself an inflatable air chamber (AC) for storing a defined quantity of air. As the air pump is operated by hand, air from the exterior is sucked into the air chamber via the air pump. A first non-return valve (NRV1) is located at the inlet of the air pump and a second non-return valve (NRV2) is located at the outlet of the air pump and at its cusp with the air chamber. As the air pump is depressed, the first non-return valve opens while the second non-return valve closes thereby sucking in air into the air pump. As the air pump is released, the first non-return valve closes and the second non-return valve opens to allow entry of sucked in air into the air chamber. Since the air chamber is already in a pre-inflated condition, the differential pumped-in air, moved out of the air chamber to drive the alternating mechanism to generate energy to light up the bulb.
Figures 2a and 2b illustrate various views of the second embodiment (200) of the torch and torch light.

When air pressure is generated with the help of this hand cuff (AP), the air pressure will displace a linear or rotary alternator which is connected to a lighting unit. These types of torch lights can be particularly useful in mining places where the service men need constant light source in order to carry on their work. Since mining areas are quite remotely situated, where, if batteries are not available, it can cause a lot of inconvenience. In such places, a worker can keep inflating the cuff and use the light source. Also, such cuffs in both hands can also be helpful as an exercising accessory.
These torch lights can be built in both forms; either the torch lights can also have provision of placing batteries for power generation or can be designed in such a way that the torch light has only the Linear or Rotary alternation mechanism installed.
There may be provided a storage means such as a battery to store the charge when the torch is not being used.
The technical advance of this invention lies in provisioning of the rotary or linear alternating mechanism in coupled form with a hand cuff or air pump which results in continuous actuation of the mechanism as long as the hand cuff is used, which results in easy. Instantaneous use of the torch is now available due to the cuff and alternating mechanism, without the need of batteries.
While this detailed description has disclosed certain specific embodiments of the present invention for illustrative purposes, various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art which do not constitute departures from

the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims, and it is to be distinctly understood that the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted merely as illustrative of the invention and not as a limitation.
