Determine whether the lid drops more than 12 mm.<br />
8.31.2 Durability test for vertically opening hinged lids<br />
Subject the lid to 7 000 opening and closing cycles. One cycle consists of raising the lid from its fully closed<br />
position to fully open and returning it to fully closed. To prevent undue stress on screws or other fastenings<br />
used to attach the lid support mechanism, care should be taken not to force the lid beyond its normal arc of<br />
travel.<br />
The time to complete one cycle shall be approximately 15 s. The 7 000 cycles shall be completed within a<br />
period of 72 h, after which the test described in 8.31.1 (lid support) shall be repeated.<br />
Determine whether the toy chest lid and the lid support mechanism continues to conform to relevant<br />
requirements of this European Standard.<br />
8.32 Small balls and suction cups test (see 4.22, 5.10 and 5.13)<br />
8.32.1 )Small balls and suction cups*<br />
Position and clamp template E shown -in Figure 31. so that the axis of the slot is substantially<br />
vertical and the slot is unobstructed at its top and bottom openings.<br />
Place the ball or suction cup without compressing it, in any orientation in the slot so that the force on<br />
the ball or suction cup is only the force due to its mass.<br />
Determine whether the ball or suction cup passes entirely through template E.<br />
8.32.2 )Small balls attached to a toy by a string<br />
72<br />
-Figure 31. – Template E<br />
Dimensions in millimetres<br />
Position and clamp template E shown -in Figure 31. so that the axis of the slot is substantially vertical<br />
and the slot is unobstructed at its top and bottom openings.<br />
Suspend the ball by the toy and string, elastic cord or similar or by the toy and lower the ball without<br />
compressing it into the slot so that the force on the ball is only the force due to its mass. The ball shall be<br />
lowered as far as the string and the attached toy allows before the distance A is measured.<br />
Determine whether the ball passes through the base of template E such that the distance A indicated -in<br />
Figure 32. is greater than 30 mm. The distance A shall be measured from the top of the template to the<br />
intersection point of the major and minor axes of the ball.
