Opposite transistor PN2222

I have thoroughly checked the forum and I am not 100% sure which specific part (if any) can perform what I wish. I wish the opposite of what the PN2222 transistor performs. I want the +3v from a battery to pass through when there is zero voltage at "base". So please tell me if I can perform this with the PN2222 I already have or please tell which part in particular I should acquire (small sized like the PN2222).

You didn't mention that the current of battery can provides and how much current that you want to output, the circuit shown below was designed for output 330mA Imax when you using 2SA684(1A) for Q1.

Connect the base to ground via a suitable resistor (depends on what current you want out of the collector), and connect the emitter and collector as shown in post #3 (omitting R1,Q2,R2,Q3).

Just a note of something that caught me by surprise. The pin out of the 2N2222 is opposite of the PN2222 based on the flat.

Input 5.5v. Load 3v. Battery 3v. If I know how to calculate the resistor then possibly I will be able to replicate the diagram provided above (omitting R1,Q2,R2,Q3).
