Waterproof flashlight

The invention relates to a torch for military use and civil purposes, where waterproofness, dustproofness and different types of light emission neces sary are.

Purpose :

Flashlights are mainly used in the military sector required that can withstand high loads from vibrations, water and dust. These flashlights need different colored light for signaling purposes as well as dimmed light when Requirement of camouflage could be ·! ..

State of the art:

There are flashlights to meet these requirements used, which are manufactured according to DIN 14 648.

Disadvantages of this state of the TeelmiTr;

The flashlights manufactured in accordance with DIN 14 648 are not waterproof, but at best safe against moisture and water spray, after prolonged use they become but also leaks against these influences. By constant shocks and vibrations, she would know mainly used in the military sector

the contact security of the flashlight improves and malfunctions occur.

The switch of the flashlight according to DIN 14 648 is on.

sensitive to traffic jams), this can also lead to malfunctions to lead*

If there is a lot of dust, the slides are grounded with those] the color filters are stiff or difficult to operate.

clamp completely.

The flashlight is unwieldy and heavy, and it is particularly uncomfortable to carry it with the loops provided on the jacket. In the buttoned-on state, it is not possible to have the flashlight in your hand quickly in the Beaarfs case, as unbuttoning it is cumbersome.

The burning time of the flashlight is the usual when using used mono cell battery with approx. 2 hours

relatively low.

The flashlight can be damaged or destroyed by overlaid batteries which leak.

The manufacture of the flashlight manufactured according to DIN 14 648 is complex and expensive because it consists of 46 individual parts consists.

Since it is mainly made of sheet steel, it is particularly susceptible to corrosion.

Flashlights are often lost or destroyed, especially in military use; if the price of the Torch as with the model according to ΓΒΤ 14 648 relative is high, it adds up to considerable economic damage, which in the area of the Federal Armed Forces - border protection by the police, etc. through the administrative burden is still exceeded when settling claims.

Task:

The invention is based on the object of the above -

7753054

parts to avoid or reduce, but especially the economic damage of losing a pocket lawpe to minimize.

Solution;

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the flashlight is designed so simply as a "disposable item", that their service life is designed for the burning time of a battery and not refilling a new battery he follows. This allows the flashlight to be completely closed resulting in absolute impermeability to water and dust. By using particularly long-lasting alkali manganese Batteries, the life and shelf life of the flashlight is favorably influenced.

Achievable benefits:

The following advantages are achieved with the invention. The waterproof flashlight is:

- Insensitive to shocks and vibrations

- absolutely waterproof

- dustproof

- corrosion-proof

- small

- easy

- safe to switch

- quick to use

- economical

The use of long-life alkaline manganese batteries increases the burning time of the waterproof flashlight compared to the flashlight manufactured according to DIN 14 648 by approx. 2 to 12 hours. (When using the usual mono cells in the DIH torch). Thereby stay in front of ausslehli.ch.en The cost of the waterproof flashlight is less than the cost of three battery packs of the DIS flashlight.

Therefore, even if the waterproof flashlight is lost or destroyed, it is comparatively less economic damage, which, because it is a consumable item, by not using Administrative burden (in the public service) reduced will.

The main advantage of the waterproof flashlight is that it is simple in structure; it looks, next to the battery and lightbulb made of 2 sheet metal and 7 plastic parts.

Description of execution:

The embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings represents and is described in more detail below:

Fig. 1

An alkaline manganese battery 1 is in a transparent Plastic cylinder 2. The plastic cylinder 2 is welded to the cover 3. The socket with the reflector 5 and the holding plates 6 is arranged on the cover 3. This Parts (3,4,5,6) are pressed in one piece from plastic. The reflector 5 is vapor-deposited, reflective Provide metal surface »The retaining plates 6 press the alkaline-manganese battery 1 firmly into the plastic cylinder 2. The light bulb 7 is inserted into the socket 4, when the light bulb 7 is inserted, the light bulb 7 is turned so that the con -

taktblecn 8 like a lock nut against the socket 4 presses. The contact sheet 8 is attached to the positive pole of the alkali-manganese battery 1 with a welding point. The switching spring 9 is attached to the side of the alkali-manganese battery 1 with two welding points.

Over the plastic cylinder 2, the switching ring 10 and the colored ring 11 pushed. Both rings have so much play that they turn easily on the plastic cylinder 2 leave. The protective cap 12 made of soft plastic is welded

on the Suns st off cylinder 2 and prevents it from going down - the switching ring 10 and the colored ring 11 slip gives the protective cap 12 by suitable coloring, together with the retaining ring 10 and the cover 3 of the water - dense flashlight the color you want.

Fig. 2 shows the waterproof flashlight in section

The switching ring 10 has a cup-shaped bulge in which the permanent magnet 15 is inserted. If the Selialt ring 10 is rotated by the user in pieilräen-fcungr ^ the force of the permanent magnet 13 pulls the switching spring 9 against the contact of the light bulb T _t thereby creating a circuit closed and the waterproof flashlight burns »Because the force of the permanent magnet 13 acts through the solid cylinder 2, the otherwise necessary openings for the switches in flashlights can be dispensed with * This is how watertightness is achieved.

The Pig «3 shows the waterproof flashlight in section C-D *

The colored ring 11 is divided into four segments. The segment 11 is clear white; segment 11a is covered in opaque black from the inside, only in the middle a screen of 15x3 mm remains free, this segment is also Opaque black from the outside and covered with the same Cover provided, this outer cover about 5 ram lower when the inside sits, whereby the deflection of the exiting light is achieved downwards, this is as camouflage light required in military use.

The segment 11b is transparent green, the segment 11c is transparent red. Are of course other colors also possible.

By turning the Far orange 11 - the desired type of light is achieved by bringing the "relevant segment (11,1Ia ₅ Hl), Hc) in front of the reflector 5" and the light bulb 7.

The quiver 14 with the button loop 15 and the "two buttonholes 16 is made of soft plastic. In the quiver there is a vertical lip that defines the cross section The quiver is slightly reduced in one place, this lip prevents the waterproof ash lamp from falling out.
