22. Construction
All provisions of this charter in GB 4706.1-2005, except for the following content, are
applicable.
22.7 Amendment:
In terms of structure, soft hand warmers shall be equipped with the protection device which
can prevent over-high pressure inside the warmer during it is connected to the mains.
Through the visual inspection, if the apparatus is installed without such over-high pressure
protection device, the apparatus is identified as failure to meet the requirement; if that device is
available, conformity will be subject to the following test:
Under the conditions specified in Chapter 11, a hand warmer is input the power that is 1.15
times of the rated power input.
All thermal controllers shall occur short circuit at the same time.
Leave the hand warmer operate until the over-high pressure protection device works.
After the test, the hand warmer shall have no leakage of liquid or breakage.
Addition:
22.101 The structure of hand warmer shall hold the electric heating components and internal
wiring at their pre-configured positions.
Conformity is subject to the visual inspection.
22.102 For soft hand warmers, except for Type III apparatus, the insulation of electric heating
components and internal wiring shall be integrated with conductors.
Conformity is subject to the visual inspection.
22.103 No burrs that may damage soft materials shall exist in the internal structure or at
connection terminal of the soft hand warmer.
Conformity is subject to the visual inspection.
24. Components
All provisions of this chapter in GB 4706.1-2005, except for the following content, are
applicable:
Addition:
24.1.4 Amendment:
The working cycle-times of the self-resetting thermal cut-out is 10,000.
24.101 For soft hand warmers, at least one thermal cut-out which limits the temperature of
thermal storage kernel is of a non self-resetting type.
Conformity is subject to the visual inspection.

Annex
All provisions of the annex in GB 4706.1-2005, except for the following content, are applicable.
The testing device, as shown as Figure AA.1, features a rotating roller with a diameter of 160
mm, whose length is large enough to accommodate the total length of outer casing material.
Cut open a solid rubber ball with the diameter of 60 mm±2.5 mm and Rockwell hardness of 40
– 50. Place them on the roller and make them protrude 25 mm above the roller. These
semi-spheres are arranged in six rows evenly around the roller’s circumference, 320 mm apart
from each other. Each semi-sphere is located at the middle position of a pair of semi-spheres
of a neighbouring row (see Figure AA.2). This roller can rotate around its axis.
Below the roller, there is a bar with square cross-section and side length of 25 mm×25 mm. It
is constructed so that it can be installed on a guide rail and can rotate in the loader, which can
move upwards or downwards freely. The total mass of the bar and loader can be adjusted by
adding weights to the loader.
There are some smooth hardwood cylinders with a diameter of 65 mm and a length of 140 mm
above the roller, and each cylinder is fixed with a pair of arms. The cylinder arms are 160 mm
away from the axis of the cylinder, around which the cylinder arms rotate. The position of these
cylinders shall allow each semi-sphere to pass underneath the centre of a cylinder. The pivot
bar is positioned so that the axis of the cylinder arms can form an angle of 25°to horizontal
when the cylinders contact the top of the roller. The force applied on the roller by each cylinder
is 5.1 N.
A gear with a diameter of 230 mm is securely fixed at both ends of the supporting axis of the
roller. A circular chain drives the drive bar around the gear, and goes through the lowest
position of the bar with a square cross-section.
Attach the clamp lever to the drive bar by using the screw with a diameter of 3.5 mm (as
shown in Figure AA.3). On the edge of the clamp lever, there are steel swivels attached.
Tightly connect the total length of the outer casing material to the steel wire swivels with
clamps and an adjustable woven belt. Then let it pass around the roller, and go underneath
the bar with square cross-section to be clamped with the other end of the woven belt. The
outer casing material and woven belt form a continuous belt. It is pulled by adding weights to
the loader, so that the total mass of the bar assembly and the loader enables the connection
side of the outer casing material to bear the weight of 6 kg. Adjust the woven belt to increase
by 50 mm from the non-operation position of the bar with the square cross-section and the
loader, and then the pull force borne by the woven belt shall not be changed. The woven belt
shall be positioned so that they can pass through between the semi-spheres on the roller.
Note 1: Sufficient woven belts shall be used to prevent wrinkles on the outer casing
material.
Note 2: All flexible power cords and the connection types of the drive bar shall not affect
the test results.
Note 3: A device shall be installed, which is designed to raise the cylinders when the drive
bar passes through the roller, avoiding the damage of testing devices.
Note 4: Drive bars shall be driven separately. Both the roller and the bar with the square
cross-section are driven to rotate by the outer casing material when it goes over them.
