Abstract

Fire starter, consisting of wooden sticks, wood shavings (4), round wood or the like, which are connected by means of an annular joining means (2) of a combustible material to form a package (1) interspersed by a fuse (3), characterized in that the wood chips (4) are expelled centrally from the joining means (2) in the direction of an ignition end (6), so that a bottom (8) is formed with a cavity (10).

Description

The invention relates to a firelighter, such as from DE 295 17 488 U1 known and according to the preamble of claim 1.

The known rapid-fire lighter is formed by a bundling of wood materials by means of a combustible wrap ring, which bundling is realized in such a way that it has two flammability levels. The rapid-fire lighter is provided with a fuse and optionally impregnated with paraffin. The firelighters are products of small dimensions that do not themselves form a fuel, but make it possible to ignite the logs of a fireplace, the charcoal of a grill.

Besides and above, numerous products have been proposed to make the use of a fireplace, barbecues or grills easier and more enjoyable. As such state of the art FR 2 607 146 . FR 2 310 402 . U.S. 3,192,561 . EP 0 337 872 or FR 2 667 611 called.

The present invention relates to a firelighter, which is also made of by-products of woodworking and other waste products, preferably entirely of waste products. According to the invention, bundled with the combustible ring can be wood sticks, shavings cut to about the same length, roundwood sticks, for example scrapwood waste or the like. The wood chips are obtained, for example, by splitting waste from a joiner's workshop, such as slab or parquet waste, after which their length is reduced to one dimension. Dimensions of suitable lighters are advantageously from 6 cm to 8 cm in length, their cross-section can be chosen so advantageous that a lighter with a diameter between 4 cm and 5 cm can contain about 30 to 50 such chips. The ring can be obtained by cutting off a cardboard tube or by rolling over with a paper tape or veneer. The width of the ring is preferably about equal to one third of the length of the wood chips. The two desired levels of ignition for the lighter do not matter in the present invention, so the ring construction is only to be considered as an advantageous embodiment.

The sliver, for example made of cotton, is placed substantially in the middle of the formed package.

There is a desire for an improved solution for the manufacture of firelighters and for an improved ignition aid per se.

The object is achieved by means of a Feueranzünders according to the main claim 1, optionally comprising the characterizing features.

Advantageous embodiments, further features and details of the present invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.

The teaching according to the invention affords the advantage that the package remains less compact and the outer surface turns out to be more open as a burning surface, for example at the ignition end with a positive, stepped conical shape. The cavity facing away from the ignition end then likewise has a burning surface, for example a negative stepped conical shape. Depending on the burning behavior, a chimney effect can occur through the package, which can be initiated by the cavity and / or the lint material.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment outlined in principle in a figure. It shows

1 in a schematic diagram of a side view of a Feueranzünders invention with additional hint hidden edges of a cavity.

In 1 an inventive Feueranzünder is shown, in this exemplary embodiment consisting of wood chips ( 4 ) and Rundhölzchen, namely obtained from untreated waste wood of a joinery and a vine treatment, which wood chips ( 4 ) and round wood by means of an annular joining agent ( 2 ) are connected from a combustible material. Radially centered is a fuse ( 3 ) between the wood chips ( 4 ) and round wood in roughly coarse axial direction. Thus, one of a fuse ( 3 ) interspersed package ( 1 ) educated. The wood shavings ( 4 ) are after the formation of the per se complete package with a percussion tool in a central region attaching from the joining means ( 2 ) towards an ignition ( 6 ), so that the ignition ( 6 ) turned away a floor ( 8th ) with a cavity ( 10 ) forms (actually in a graphically correct side view because of reaching to the bottom joining agent ( 2 ) not visible in 1 but looking through the joining means as hinted at by hidden longitudinal edges).

The wood shavings ( 4 ) and round wood have in accordance with 1 sketched embodiment, a length between 6 cm and 8 cm. The joining agent ( 2 ) is formed as a ring with a diameter between 4 cm and 5 cm. In the present case, the joining agent ( 2 ) a paper sleeve section of an empty approximately in the middle divided toilet paper roll. The joining agent ( 2 ) has a length of about 4.5 cm to 5.5 cm in the axial direction.

The flammable material that the fuse ( 3 ) forms in the embodiment of the 1 made of raffia. A raffia bundle is approximately lengthwise for later positioning in the area of the bottom ( 8th ) or in other words an inner end of the cavity ( 10 ) and knotted there.

According to an advantageous embodiment of a manufacturing method according to the invention of such a Feueranzünders are after forming the cavity ( 10 ) the components wood chips ( 4 ), Joining agents ( 2 ) and fuse ( 3 ) completely soaked with wax.

The production method according to the invention basically comprises at least the following method steps: provision of the joining agent ( 2 ) and filling of the joining agent ( 2 ) with wood chips ( 4 ) in the radially inner, central introduction of the fuse ( 3 ) in the joining agent ( 2 ), Forming the cavity ( 10 ), Immersing the with wood chips ( 4 ) and fuse ( 3 ) bulging joint ( 2 ) in a bath with flammable liquid.

Advantageously, at least roughly centrally introduced wood chip ( 4 ) are placed on the knot of the raffia bundle to drive the raffia bundle completely axially through the firelighter during insertion. Then the package ( 1 ) bulging and it is easy on the ground ( 8th ) hammered to the ignition ( 6 ), for example, 1.5 cm from the package ( 1 ) drive out. The other wood chips ( 4 ) follow less and less radially outwards, so that there is a negative at the bottom and at the ignition ( 6 ) forms a positive cone shape.
