Abstract

The invention provides a safety system to be used on barbeque appliances that use electronic ignition, push button ignition or/and rotary ignition systems(s), that prevents the operator of the appliance from igniting the appliance when the lid and/or cover is in the closed position. When the lid and/or cover is in the closed position, a magnetic field is created through "magnetic medium(s)", in which a safety pin is drawn into the activated/safety on position within the electronic ignition, push button ignition or/and rotary ignition system(s), which prevents the operator of the appliance from successfully depressing and/or rotating the ignition system. When the lid and/or cover is in the open position, this breaks the magnetic field through the "magnetic medium(s)", and the safety pin is released by the absence of the magnetic field, and the operator of the appliance can successfully depress and/or rotate the ignition system.

Description

Magnetic barbegue ignition safety system Background of the invention Since barbeque appliances that use propane and/or natural gas as a fuel source, were introduced as a means of heating foods, there have always been the unfortunate possibility of a hazardous situation occurring when operating the appliance.
This is mainly due scientifically to the fuel + oxygen + ignition = fire and/or explosion equation.
The measure of hazard is enormously increased if the proper safety procedures in operating the appliance are not followed as directed. An extremely important safety practice that has the potential for a dangerous hazard occurring if not followed as directed, has said to: "Never attempt to ignite the fuel within the barbeque appliance if the lid and/or cover is in the closed position." The purpose of this safety practice is if the lid and/or cover is in the closed position, and inside the barbeque you have a proper gas/air mixture, you have created an enclosed area that when successfully ignited, the energy released does not have the proper area for expansion of the rapidly expanding energy. The lid and/or cover is now considered the weakest link of constructing the enclosed area, and is rapidly and forcefully blown open, again due to the rapid expansion of energy created by the fuel + oxygen + ignition = fire and/or explosion equation. When this occurs this puts the operator and/or any person(s) surrounding the hazardous area in an extremely dangerous environment. Extreme bodily harm and/or death is the unfortunate possibilities present in these situations. The invention, magnetic barbeque ignition safety system, was created to reduce the risks present when operating a barbeque, by creating a system in which the operator of the appliance can no longer successfully depress and/or rotate the ignition system when the barbeque lid and/or cover is in the closed position. Thus eliminating the "ignition" from the fuel + oxygen +
ignition = fire and/or explosion equation.

Summary of the invention The purpose of this invention is to prevent the operator of the barbeque appliance from depressing and/or rotating the ignition system of the barbeque when the lid and/or cover is in the closed position. It can be very dangerous hazardous with natural gas and/or propane fueled barbeque systems, if the operator of the appliance is to ignite the system when the lid and/or cover is in the closed position. The invention uses a magnetic field, created by a magnet, to activate a safety pin located within the ignition system. This can be applied to various types of ignition systems as illustrated in the detailed description and drawings, including but not limited to electronic ignition, push button ignition and/or rotary ignition systems. When the safety pin is activated and is in the activatedlsafety on position, the operator of the appliance will not be able to successfully depress and/or rotate the ignition system, thus preventing the possibility of a dangerous hazard from occurring. As illustrated in further detail in the description of the invention, the magnet would be attached to the lid and/or cover of the barbeque. When the barbeque lid and/or cover is in the closed position, the magnet would then come into contact with a magnetic medium. The magnetic medium would be used to guide to magnetic field created by the magnet, to the ignition system where it would draw the safety pin, constructed of a magnetic medium material, into an activated/safety on position. When the barbeque lid/and or cover would be in the open position, the contact between the magnet and the magnetic medium would be broken, and therefore, there would no longer be a magnetic field to be guided to the safety pin, and so the safety pin would be released by the magnetic field, and the safety pin would fall back into the proper deactivated/safety off position.

Detailed description of the invention Figure I.A.
In Figure 1.A., the barbeque appliance lid and/or cover is in the closed position and the safety system is activated. A magnet, seen in Figure l.A.(1), is located on the lid andlor cover, that when the lid and/or cover closes, this causes the magnet to make contact with contact point, seen in Figure 1.A.(2). The magnetic field created by the magnet, would then pass from the magnet, through the contact point, to a wire and/or rod, seen in Figure 1.A.(3). The magnetic field will the travel though the wire and/or rod, to the ignition system, seen in Figure 1.A.(4), which then will activate the safety pin, seen in Figures 2.A.(1), 3.A.(1), and/or 4.A.(1), that is located within the electronic ignition, seen in Figure 2.A., push button ignition, seen in Figure 3.A., and/or rotary ignition system(s), as seen in Figure 4.A. The safety pin is now in the activated/safety on position.

Figure 1.B.
In Figure 1.B., the barbeque appliance lid and/or cover, is in the open position and the safety system is deactivated. This is due to the magnet, seen in Figure 1.B.(1), which is no longer in contact with the contact point, seen in Figure l.B.(2), and therefore breaking the magnetic field that travels down the wire and/or rod, seen in Figure l.B.(3), and to the ignition system(s), seen in Figure 1.B.(4). The safety pin would now be in the deactivated/safety off position, as seen in Figures 2.B.(1), 3.B.(1) and/or 4.B.(1).

Figure 2.A., Figure 3.A. and/or Figure 4.A
In Figures 2.A., 3.A. and/or 4.A., the safety pin, seen in Figures 2.A.(1), 3.A.(1) and/or 4.A.(1), is in the activated/safety on position. In Figures 2.A., 3.A. and or 4.A., the barbeque lid and/or cover would be in the closed position as seen in Figure I.A. The safety pin is being drawn up towards the attraction point, seen in Figures 2.A.(4), 3.A.(4) and/or 4.A.(4) by the magnetic field. When the safety pin is in this activated/safety on position, the ignition system cannot be successfully depressed andlor rotated (as in Figure 4.A) by the operator of the appliance, due to the safety pin will come into contact with the stopper object, seen in Figures 2.A.(2), 3.A.(2) and/or 4.A.(2).

Fizure 2.B., FiQu.re 3.B. and/or Fi r~ e 4.B.
In Figures 2.B., 3.B. and/or 4.B, the safety pin, seen in Figures 2.B.(1), 3.B.(1) and/or 4.B.(l) is in the deactivated/safety off position. In Figures 2.B., 3.B.
andlor 4.B. the barbeque lid and/or cover would be in the open position, as seen in Figure I.B. In this case the magnet, seen in Figure 1.B.(l), would not longer be in contact with the contact point, seen in Figure l.B.(2), and there would no longer be a magnetic field for the attraction point, seen in Figures 2.B.(4), 3.B.(4) and or 4.B.(4), to draw the safety pin, seen in Figures 2.B.(1), 3.B.(1) and/or 4.B.(1). The safety pin would then, without being drawn by the magnetic field, would drop back down into the safety pin guide, seen in Figures 2.B.(3), 3.B.(3) and/or 4.B.(3). This would allow the operator of the appliance to successfully depress and/or rotate the ignition system.

Figure 1.A.(1), Figure l.B.(1): This object is the magnet (permanent magnet and/or electromagnet) which is attached to the lid and/or cover. The magnets purpose is to create the magnetic field through the safety system when the lid and/or cover is in the closed position.

Figure 1.A.(2), Figure 1.B.(2): This is the contact point which is attached to the wire and/or rod, seen in Figure 1.A.(3). The contact point constructed of a magnetic medium material (example: iron). The contact point may and/or may not be substituted by the wire and/or rod itself, seen in Figures I.A.(3), 1.A.(4). The purpose of the contact point is to accept contact from the magnet, seen in Figure l.A.(1), when the barbeque lid and/or cover is in the closed position. The contact point is one of the "magnetic medium(s)". In the case that the wire and/or rod itself, would substitute the contact point, the magnet would come in direct contact with the wire and/or rod when the lid and/or cover is in the closed position.

Figures 1.A.(3), 1.B.(3), 2.A.(5), 2.B.(5), 3.A.(5), 3.B.(5), 4.A.(5) and/or 4.B.(5): This object is the wire and/or rod, that is attached at one end to the contact point, seen in Figures 1.A.(2) and/or l.B.(2) and is attached at it's opposite end to the attraction point, seen in Figures 2.A.(4), 2.B.(4), 3.A.(4), 3.B.(4), 4.A.(4) and/or 4.B.(4).
The wire and/or rod is constructed of a magnetic medium material (example: iron). The purpose of the wire and/or rod is to guide the magnetic field from the contact point to the attraction point, when the barbeque lid and/or cover is in the closed position. The wire and/or rod is one of the "magnetic mediums".

Figure 1.A.(4), Figure 1.B.(4): This is the ignition system that will be an electronic ignition system, seen in Figure 2.A. and/or Figure 2.B.; push button ignition system, seen in Figure 3.A. and/or Figure 3.B.; and/or rotary ignition system, seen in Figure 4.A.
and/or 4.B.

Figures 2.A.(1), 2.B.(1), 3.A.(1), 3.B.(1), 4.A.(1) and/or 4.B.(1): This object is the safety pin, constructed of a magnetic medium material (example: iron). The purpose of the safety pin is when the safety pin is in the activated/safety on position, it is to come into contact with the stopper object, seen in Figures 2.A.(2), 3.A.(2) and/or 4.A.(2), if the operator of the barbeque appliance attempts to depress andlor rotate the ignition system.
The safety pin coming into contact with the stopper object will prohibit the operator from successfully depressing and/or rotating the ignition system.

Figures 2.A.(2), 2.B.(2), 3.A.(2), 3.B.(2), 4.A.(2) and/or 4.B.(2): This is the stopper object. The purpose of the stopper object is to come into contact with the safety pin when the safety pin is in the activated/safety on position, and the operator attempts to depress and/or rotate the ignition system. The contact between the safety pin and stopper object will prevent the operator from successfully depressing and/or rotating the ignition system.
Figures 2.A.(3), 2.B.(3), 3.A.(3), 3.B.(3), 4.A.(3) and/or 4.B.(3): This is the safety pin guide. The purpose of this safety pin guide is to guide the safety pin into the safety pins proper position of operation.

Figures 2.A.(4), 2.B.(4), 3.A.(4), 3.B.(4), 4.A.(4) and/or 4.B.(4): This object is the attraction point. It is constructed of a magnetic medium material (example iron). The attraction point is one of the "magnetic mediums". The attraction point may and/or may not be substituted by the wire and/or rod itself, seen in Figures 2.A.(5), 2.B.(5), 3.A.(5), 3.B.(5), 4.A.(5) and/or 4.B.(5). The purpose of the attraction point, using the magnetic field, is to draw the safety pin into the activated/safety on position, when the barbeque lid and/or cover is in the closed position. In the case that the wire and/or rod itself, would substitute the attraction point, the wire and/or rod itself, using the magnetic field, would draw the safety pin into the activated/safety on position, when the barbeque lid and/or cover is in the closed position.
