The exterior of the flashlight shallhave molded flutes or ribs to provide a satisfactory grippingsurface when wet. C
19、ells 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 flashlight must be constructed so that thecells are readily replaceable.7.2.2 The case, ring, and cap, need not be made of
20、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 from bubbles, striae,wrinkles, or other defects and blemishes that would affect thelight distribution. The lens shall
21、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 be of metal or plastic andmust have sufficient rigidity so as not to become distorted whenthe flashlight is completel
22、y assembled with cells and lamp. Itmust have an essentially parabolic reflecting surface, highlypolished and resistant to corrosion and discoloration. Thereflector shall be 134 614 in. (44 6 6 mm) in diameter.7.5 LampsThe lamps shall be appropriate for use withalkaline or carbon-zinc batteries. Each

It shall be so positioned that the lamp, whenassembled in the holder, shall have its filament located at thefocus of the reflector, with the accuracy necessary
24、 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 lamp. Meansshall be provided to protect the lamp from damage by batteryimpact and for conveniently removing and replac
25、ing 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 accordance with9.1.2.7.7 SwitchThe switch shall be conveniently located andsecurely attached to the flashlight. It shall
26、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 closing of thelamp circuit. The switch parts and switch contact strip shall beadequately insulated so that it will be impo
27、ssible 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 bronze, spring brass, orother corrosion-resistant equivalent material.7.8 Suspension MemberEach flashlight shall be equippe
28、dwith 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, electrical, or other imperfections or defects thatmaterially affect appearance or that may affect quality, reliabil-ity,
29、or serviceability. The finished flashlight shall not containrough edges, burrs, blemishes, or other disfigurements andshall be clean, free from rust, toolmarks, pits, and otherinjurious defects.8.1.1 Threaded parts shall be smooth and close fitting andshall be capable of being easily moved by hand r
30、elative 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 LeakageWith the lamp and reflector re-moved, insert fresh batteries into the flashlight. Connect avoltmeter across the s
31、witch 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 voltage. Any distinguishable deflec-tion of the meter hand when the meter is set in the voltagerange, nearest the batter
32、y 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 flashlight vigorously in each “ON” and“FLASHING” switch position. The flashlight must not go offwhen shaken vigorously
33、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 000continuous cycles. A cycle shall consist of movements from“OFF” position through the full “ON” and “FLASHING”positions and back to “OFF”
34、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 operating under normal load throughout the 25 000cycles. Burning out of bulbs and batteries during the test shallF 1014 02 (2007)2not co
35、nstitute 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 assembled 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 wate
36、r 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 disassembled and reassembled without unduedifficulty upon completion of the test and shall be in perfectworking order.9.3 Imp
37、act: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-ately subject it to the low- and high-impact test specified in9.3.2 and 9.3.3. Apply the point of impact to the follo
38、wing: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”position),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) imp
39、act 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 9.2). There shall be no evidence of breakage fromimpact or moisture in the case.9.3.3 High ImpactAfter the flashli
40、ght 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 (0.4-kg)steel ball at each of the points of impact specified above. Thereshall be no evidence of damage to the case,
41、 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, followed by an 85 6 5 % relativehumidity at 100 6 2F (38 6 1C) for 6 h. The flashlight shallbe compared with unteste
42、d 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, without dry cells, tosalt spray for 200 h. Then wash the flashlight with fresh water,dry, and then test to determine tha
43、t 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 fall onto avinyl-asbestos tiled concrete floor. Drop the flashlight twice ina horizontal position upon the switch
44、, 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, and upon the base ofthe flashlight. Do not tighten parts once the test has begun.There shall be no evidence of dam
45、age 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 mm) nor more than11 in. (279 mm) in diameter when located 5 ft (1.524 m) froma screen. The plane of the screen mu
46、st 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.
