Abstract
Dans les articles servant à allumer un feu, la pratique courante était de se servir de journaux, d'écorce de bouleaux, de bois fendu en bois d'allumage, additionné souvent d'un activant pétrolier. On sait que l'efficacité de combustion des dispositifs d'allumage déjà connus résulte non seulement de leur constitution mais également de la façon dont ceux-ci sont disposés sur la substance à allumer afin de permettre un jeu d'air pour l'entretien de la flamme. Dans la présente invention, le dispositif d'allumage qui est un allume-feu est composé de plusieurs feuilles de carton ondulé, superposées les unes sur les autres et retenues entr'elles par de la colle pour ainsi former une briquette, laquelle est ensuite imprégnée de paraffine, de cire ou de gras animal ou végétal. L'utilité et la distinction de la présente invention résulte du fait que la disposition de ce dispositif d'allumage sur la substance à allumer importe peu puisque le jeu d'air est permis grâce à la constitution même du dispositif d'allumage. En effet, les alvéoles du carton ondulé imprégnées permettent ce jeu d'air et par conséquent, procure une flamme soutenue. Il permet un allumage rapide et soutenu, dans un minimum d'espace. Egalement, le dispositif d'allumage peut occasionnellement être muni d'allumettes paraffinées. Dans ce cas, il s'agit d'un allume-feu de survie qui permet qu'une allumette soit toujours à la disposition de son utilisateur.In articles used to light a fire, the current practice was to use newspapers, birch bark, split wood for kindling, often with petroleum activator added. It is known that the combustion efficiency of the already known ignition devices results not only from their constitution but also from the way in which they are arranged on the substance to be ignited in order to allow a clearance of air for the maintenance of the flame. In the present invention, the ignition device which is a fire starter is composed of several sheets of corrugated cardboard, superimposed on each other and held together by glue to thereby form a briquette, which is then impregnated paraffin, wax or animal or vegetable fat. The usefulness and the distinction of the present invention results from the fact that the arrangement of this ignition device on the substance to be ignored matters little since the air clearance is allowed thanks to the very constitution of the ignition device. In fact, the impregnated corrugated cardboard cells allow this play of air and consequently, provides a sustained flame. It allows rapid and sustained ignition in a minimum of space. Also, the ignition device may occasionally be provided with waxed matches. In this case, it is a survival fire starter that allows a match to be always available to its user.
Description
M~MDIRE DESCRIPTIF
Divulgation La présente invention se rapporte à un article servant à l' allumage de feux.
Il est d'usage courant dans le cas d'articles servant à allumer les feux d'utiliser du papier, de l'écorce de bouleaux, du bois d'allumage et de leur ajouter un activant pétrolier.
Toutefois en raison de la combustion spontanée et immédiate de l'activant au contact d'une flamme, cela demeure très dangereux pour l'utilisateur et peut occasionner des blessures sérieuses. Les articles déjà connus pour l'allumage des feux connaissent une certaine faiblesse. En effet, ils présentent divers inconvénients qui en diminuent l'utilisation. Certains articles sont trop lourds ) volumineux ou jouissent d'une surface tmp ~~mposante, les rendant ainsi difficilement transportables. D'autres par contre, s'effritent facilement ou la faiblesse de leur emballage permet la sortie des différentes composantes du dispositif d' allumage et, par conséquent , les rendent malpropres à l' utilisation, difficilement utilisables ou non sécuritaires. D' autres dégagent des vapeurs de produits pétroliers qui les rendent alors désagréables à manipuler ou difficiles à ~anger. D'autres encore démontrent une faiblesse au niveau de l'allumage.
Encore faut-il que ces dispositifs d'allumage soient disposés sur la substance à allumer de façon à
permettre un jeu d'air pour que la flamme soit soutenue!
J'ai dëcouvert que ces inconvénients peuvent être supprimés par l'utilisation d'un dispositif d'allumage sous forme de briquette, composé de feuilles de carton ondulé ) découpées dans un format peu encombrant avec un minimum de volume, superposées les unes sur les autres et retenues entr' elles par de la colle, et ensuite imprégnées de cire, de paraffine, gras animal ou végétal. Il est important que l'imprégnation de ces substances se fasse sans l'obstruction des alvéoles du carton ondulé. Ceci permet à l' air de circuler dans les alvéoles du carton ondulé et d'ainsi entretenir la flamme sur une période de temps plus longue. Ceci permet non seulement une briquette légère, imperméable, sécuritaire lors de la combustion) propre, sans odeur, de dimension non encombrante) facilement rangeable, manipulable ou transportable et mais permet ëgalement un temps de combustion assez long pour un allumage réussi) même dans des conditions physiques et climatiques difficiles. Ce dispositif d' allumage peut occasionnellement être muni d'allumettes paraffinées pour en faciliter l'utilisation lors de la pratique d'activités sportives en forêt. De cette façon, l'humidité ou l'eau ne peut les affecter augmentant ainsi l' efficacité de leur combustion.

Relativement aux dessins qui illustrent la réalisation de l'invention:
La figure 1 représente une simple feuille de carton ondulé non enduite.
La figure ~ représente plusieurs feuilles de carton ondulë superposées les unes sur les autres et retenues entr'elles par de la colle puis imprégnées de paraffine) de cire ou de gras animal ou végétal, pour ainsi former une briquette.
~.a figure 3 représente l'agrandissement d'une coupe transversale agrandie de l'allume-feu démontré à la figure 2 démontrant clairement les alvéoles du carton imprégnées et non obstruées.
La figure 4 represente un allume-feu de survie muni d' allumettes recouvertes de paraffine, de cire ou de gras animal ou végétal.
Description de la meilleure façon d'utiliser le produit:
Bâtir votre feu en y plaçant les matériaux désirés, placer votre briquette sous ces matériaux et allumer la briquette. La durée de combustion de la briquette est de 6 à 8 minutes, ce qui donne suffisamment de temps entre autres au bois de s'enflammer. Par contre, si vous utilisez l'allume-feu de survie, enlevez la paraffine ou la cire sur l' extrémité de l' allumette enduite de souffre et frottez-la sur une surface rude ou abrasive, ce qui permettra à la briquette de s'enflammer et placer celle-ci à
la base de votre feu. M ~ MDIRE DESCRIPTION
Disclosure The present invention relates to an article for lighting fires.
It is in common use in the case of articles used to light fires to use paper, bark birch, kindling and add petroleum activator to them.
However due to the spontaneous and immediate combustion of the activator on contact with a flame, this remains very dangerous for the user and may cause serious injury. The articles already known for ignition fires are somewhat weak. Indeed, they present various disadvantages that decrease usage. Some items are too heavy) bulky or have a tmp surface ~~ imposing, making them difficult to transport. Others by against, crumble easily or the weakness of their packaging allows the exit of the different components of the ignition device and, by therefore, make them unclean to use, hardly usable or unsafe. Others give off petroleum product vapors which then make them unpleasant to handle or difficult to ~ anger. Still others show weakness in the ignition.
However, these ignition devices are arranged on the substance to be ignited so as to allow air play for may the flame be sustained!
I discovered that these drawbacks can be eliminated by using an ignition device in the form of a briquette, composed of sheets of corrugated cardboard) cut from a little format bulky with a minimum of volume, superimposed on each other and retained between them by glue, and then impregnated with wax, paraffin, animal fat or vegetal. It is important that the impregnation of these substances takes place without obstruction of the alveoli of the corrugated cardboard. this allows in the air to circulate in the alveoli of the corrugated cardboard and thus maintain the flame over a period of longer time. This not only allows a light briquette, waterproof, safe during combustion) clean, odorless, not bulky) easily stowable, manipulable or transportable and but also allows a long enough burning time for successful ignition) even in difficult physical and climatic conditions. This device ignition can occasionally be fitted with waxed matches to facilitate use during practice sports activities in the forest. In this way, moisture or water cannot affect them thus increasing the efficiency of their combustion.
. ...
Relative to the drawings which illustrate the embodiment of the invention:
Figure 1 shows a simple sheet of uncoated corrugated cardboard.
Figure ~ shows several sheets of corrugated cardboard superimposed on top of each other and retained between them with glue and then impregnated with paraffin) of wax or fat animal or plant, so form a briquette.
~ .a Figure 3 shows the enlargement of an enlarged cross section of the fire starter demonstrated at the Figure 2 clearly demonstrating the impregnated and non-impregnated cardboard cells obstructed.
Figure 4 shows a survival fire starter with covered matches paraffin, wax or animal or vegetable fat.
Description of the best way to use the product:
Build your fire by placing the desired materials, place your briquette under these materials and turn on the briquette. The combustion time of the briquette is 6 to 8 minutes, which give enough time among others for the wood to ignite. However, if you use the survival fire starter, remove the paraffin or wax on the end of the sulfur coated match and rub it on a rough surface or abrasive, which will allow the briquette to ignite and place it the base of your fire.
