BATH ORIGINAL

has a threefold effect through direct action. The spring serves to

- bring back the drive pawl of the ratchet wheel of the bath,

- retrieve the key yourself, and

- to act as a feather for the flint

In this structure, the control button, which is hinged to the body of the lighter, also has a latch for the drive ratchet wheel of the bath is articulated. This key includes another shaft around which a spiral spring is wound, which is directly above one of their arms on an approach of the latch acts and secures the retreat and also directly without any intermediate organ via her other arm on the linde des Feuersteins acts and ensures the bridge of the flint against the bath, whence this pressure point, which is fixed should be accepted, at the same time as a third function causes the key to be returned

On the other hand, the .truck exerted on the .flint grows .in the The amount of depression of the button. This. Allows. A start. With a very low resistance and an increase in this resistance in the course of the movement. .This results in a very pleasant activity 'and an excellent Zunisljelierhe.it ·

In the case of using this mechanism. For a gas lighter the lowering of the button is also used to open the gas valve.

Further details, features and advantages of the invention are provided in the following with reference to exemplary embodiments explained in more detail on the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 shows a mechanism according to the invention .. in a schematic Representation in side view in rest position;

Fig. 2 shows a corresponding representation in the ignition position in the aforementioned application of the mechanism on a Gas lighter.

In the "attached drawing, 1 is the housing of the lighter, with 2 an arrangement of burner and valve with a closure by a built-in spring, not shown, with 3 a wheel that acts on a flint 4, and with 5 a ratchet wheel "denotes that the drive of the wheel mentioned 3 causes.

A control button 7 is articulated on the housing 1 at the hinge point 6, which on the one hand carries an axis 8 around which a spiral spring 9 is wound is, and on the other hand an axis 10, which serves as a pivot axis for a pawl 11

The coil spring is arranged so that pie with an arm 9a against a projection 11a, which the pawl 11 carries, and with a Arm 9b rests against the flint 4.

The spiral spring 9 thus directly and solely exercises the following functions:

- Return of the control button 7

- Return of the pawl 11

- advancing the flint 4

In the case shown in the drawing, which illustrates the application of this automatic mechanism to a gas lighter, causes a lever 12, which is articulated at 13 to the housing 1, the opening of the burner valve in a manner known per se of the arrangement 2 when the control button 7 is depressed.

Claims (2)

Claims Mechanism for an automatic lighter with a control button articulated to a housing, thereby characterized in that on the one hand a pawl (11) is hinged to the control button (7), which the wheel (3) driving ratchet wheel (5) controls, and that on the other hand around an axis (8) of the control button (7) a spiral spring (9) is wound, which acts directly on one of its arms (9a) on an approach (11a) of the pawl (11) and this and also acts directly via its second arm (9b) on the end of the flint (4) and against it presses the wheel (3), this fixed contact point at the same time causing the return of the control button (7). 2. Mechanism according to claim 1 in application to a gas lighter, characterized in that the lowering the control button (7) also opens the gas valve. 309829/0393
