Cells must be held in the case undersufficient pressure to ensure good contact and to preventbreaking of the circuit when the flashlight is tested in accor-dance with 9.1.2. The flash
22、light must be constructed so that thecells are readily replaceable.7.2.2 The case, ring, and cap, need not be made of the samematerial but cooperating threaded surfaces should be of thesame type material.7.3 LensThe lens shall be of good quality, laminated,shatter-proof glass or clear plastic, free
23、from bubbles, striae,wrinkles, or other defects and blemishes that would affect thelight distribution. The lens shall be secured to the lens headring by a suitable retaining ring or other device so as to preventit from being dropped when the lens head ring is unscrewed.7.4 ReflectorThe reflector may
24、 be of metal or plastic andmust have sufficient rigidity so as not to become distorted whenthe flashlight is completely assembled with cells and lamp. Itmust have an essentially parabolic reflecting surface, highlypolished and resistant to corrosion and discoloration. Thereflector shall be 134 614 i
25、n. (44 6 6 mm) in diameter.7.5 LampsThe lamps shall be appropriate for use withalkaline or carbon-zinc batteries. Each lamp must have a lamplife of at least 15 h at the rated battery voltage.7.6 Lamp HolderThe lamp shall be firmly positioned inthe reflector. It shall be so positioned that the lamp,
26、whenassembled in the holder, shall have its filament located at thefocus of the reflector, with the accuracy necessary to produce aconcentrated beam of light as specified in 9.7. It shall havesufficient rigidity so as not to become distorted when theflashlight is completely assembled with cells and
27、lamp. Meansshall be provided to protect the lamp from damage by batteryimpact and for conveniently removing and replacing the lamp.The mounting adjustment shall have sufficient stability toretain the focal adjustment of the lamp under a condition ofvibration, and when the flashlight is tested in acc
28、ordance with9.1.2.7.7 SwitchThe switch shall be conveniently located andsecurely attached to the flashlight. It shall be provided with apermanent “ON” position, a manually operable signaling or“FLASHING” position, and a locked “OFF” position. It shallbe provided with means to prevent accidental clos
29、ing of thelamp circuit. The switch parts and switch contact strip shall beadequately insulated so that it will be impossible for metal-cladcells to close a circuit when the switch is on the “OFF”position. The flashlight shall be designed with a switch guard.Contact springs shall be of phosphor bronz
30、e, spring brass, orother corrosion-resistant equivalent material.7.8 Suspension MemberEach flashlight shall be equippedwith a suitable suspension ring or clip. The ring or clip shall betested as specified in 9.8.8. Workmanship8.1 Flashlights shall be of sturdy construction and free ofmechanical, ele
31、ctrical, or other imperfections or defects thatmaterially affect appearance or that may affect quality,reliability, or serviceability. The finished flashlight shall notcontain rough edges, burrs, blemishes, or other disfigurementsand shall be clean, free from rust, toolmarks, pits, and otherinjuriou
32、s defects.8.1.1 Threaded parts shall be smooth and close fitting andshall be capable of being easily moved by hand relative to eachother. Threaded parts shall not jump or change adjustmentwhen being put together or when subjected to the tests inSection 9.9. Test Methods9.1 Switches:9.1.1 Switch Leak
33、ageWith the lamp and reflectorremoved, insert fresh batteries into the flashlight. Connect avoltmeter across the switch and battery or the switch andbattery contacts, as appropriate, in such a way as to read thebattery voltage through the switch. With the switch in the“OFF” position, read the voltag
34、e. Any distinguishable deflec-tion of the meter hand when the meter is set in the voltagerange, nearest the battery voltage, shall constitute failure of thistest.9.1.2 OperationInsert batteries into the flashlight andoperate the switch five times in each of the three switchpositions. Shake the flash
35、light vigorously in each “ON” and“FLASHING” switch position. The flashlight must not go offF1014 02 (2012)12when shaken vigorously while the switch is in the “ON” or“FLASHING” position.9.1.3 Switch EnduranceTest the contact switch mecha-nism of the flashlight by operating the switch for 25 000contin
36、uous cycles. A cycle shall consist of movements from“OFF” position through the full “ON” and “FLASHING”positions and back to “OFF” position. Operate the switch undernormal electrical load conditions, and replace the lamp andbatteries as often as required to ensure that the switch mecha-nism is opera
37、ting under normal load throughout the 25 000cycles. Burning out of bulbs and batteries during the test shallnot constitute failure of this test. Failure of the switch tocomplete 25 000 cycles shall constitute failure of this test.9.2 WatertightnessTest the flashlight as follows:9.2.1 Submerge the as
38、sembled flashlight in a salt watersolution (1.04 sp gr) under a head of 1 ft (0.3 m) for a periodof 24 h at a water temperature of 65F (18C). Remove theflashlight and wipe off the excess water. The total waterabsorption shall not exceed 5 % weight. The flashlight shall becapable of being disassemble
39、d and reassembled without unduedifficulty upon completion of the test and shall be in perfectworking order.9.3 Impact:9.3.1 Test ConditionsPlace the flashlight, without batter-ies installed, in a cold chamber at 40 6 5F (40 6 3C) for2 h. With the flashlight stabilized at this temperature, immedi-ate
40、ly subject it to the low- and high-impact test specified in9.3.2 and 9.3.3. Apply the point of impact to the following:9.3.1.1 The outside of the flashlight case at a point midwaybetween the ends of the case on a side 90 from the switch,9.3.1.2 The switch (in the “ON” position and in the “OFF”positi
41、on),9.3.1.3 The lens cap, and9.3.1.4 The end cap.9.3.2 Low ImpactSubject the flashlight to a 12-lbfin. (1.4Nm) impact using a 1-lb (0.4-kg) steel ball at each of thepoints of impact specified in 9.3.1. Provided the flashlightremains intact, next subject the flashlight to the watertightnesstest (see
42、9.2). There shall be no evidence of breakage fromimpact or moisture in the case.9.3.3 High ImpactAfter the flashlight passes the low-impact test, again place the flashlight in the cold chamber at40F 6 5F (40 6 3C) for 2 h, and then immediatelysubject it to a 20 lbfin. (2.3 Nm) impact using a 1-lb (0
43、.4-kg)steel ball at each of the points of impact specified above. Thereshall be no evidence of damage to the case, the lens, or the endcap.9.4 Environmental:9.4.1 Heat and HumidityPlace the flashlight, with drycells, on a horizontal surface and subject to dry heat at 150 65F (65.6 6 3C) for 16 h, fo
44、llowed by an 85 6 5 % relativehumidity at 100 6 2F (38 6 1C) for 6 h. The flashlight shallbe compared with untested flashlights for dimensional stability,crazing of surface, and then tested to determine that theflashlight operates in accordance with 9.1.2.9.5 CorrosionSubject the flashlights, withou
45、t dry cells, tosalt spray for 200 h. Then wash the flashlight with fresh water,dry, and then test to determine that the flashlight operates inaccordance with 9.1.2. There shall be no evidence of corrosion.9.6 Rough UseDrop the flashlight, complete with drycells, lamps, and lens, 5 ft (1.5 m) in free
46、 fall onto avinyl-asbestos tiled concrete floor. Drop the flashlight twice ina horizontal position upon the switch, with the switch in the“ON” position, twice in a horizontal position upon the switch,with the switch in the “OFF” position, twice in a verticalposition upon the head of the flashlight,
47、and upon the base ofthe flashlight. Do not tighten parts once the test has begun.There shall be no evidence of damage to any part of theflashlight. Then test the flashlight in accordance with 9.1.3.9.7 Light ProjectionThe flashlight must project a concen-trated beam of light not less than 5 in. (127
48、 mm) nor more than11 in. (279 mm) in diameter when located 5 ft (1.524 m) froma screen. The plane of the screen must be perpendicular to theoptical axis of the flashlight.9.8 End Cap RingThe end cap ring shall support a weightof 25 lb (11.3 kg) for 1 min without evidence of distortion.10.
