Ein hohler Vorsprung 32 am Teil 19 ist mit einer zylinderförmigen Aussenfläche 33 und einem mittigen, in axialer Richtung verlaufenden Kanal 34 ausgestattet, der an beiden Enden offen ist. Eine Regulatorvorrichtung 36 zur Reduktion des Druckes ist in der Vertiefung 22 angeordnet und wird zwischen den Schultern 24 und dem oberen Ende 37 des Teils 19 gehalten. Diese Regulatorvorrichtung ähnelt derjenigen, welche in der USA-Patentschrift No. 3 523 006 beschrieben ist. In Fig. 5 sind zwei Scheiben 41 und 42 aus einem nicht-porösen Elastomer sowie zwei Schreiben 4 3 und 44 aus einem porösen Material gezeigt, wobei die Scheiben derart angeordnet sind, dass der Fluss vom Kanal 34 in einen Kanal 4 5 in radialer Richtung durch die porösen Schreiben 44 und 43 gehen muss. Die Vertiefung 22, in welcher die Schreiben 41,42,4 3 und 44 angeordnet sind, hat feste Abmessungen, die durch die Berührung zwischen den Schultern 46 und 47 bestimmt sind.A hollow projection 32 on part 19 has a cylindrical outer surface 33 and a central, axially Directional channel 34 equipped, which is open at both ends. A regulator device 36 for reduction of the pressure is located in the recess 22 and is between the shoulders 24 and the upper end 37 of the Part 19 held. This regulator device is similar to that disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3 523 006 is. In Fig. 5 are two discs 41 and 42 made of a non-porous elastomer and two letters 4 3 and 44 shown made of a porous material, wherein the discs are arranged such that the flow from the channel 34 into a Channel 4 5 must go through the porous letters 44 and 43 in the radial direction. The recess 22 in which the Letter 41,42,4 3 and 44 are arranged, has fixed dimensions, due to the contact between the shoulders 46 and 47 are determined.

Eine axiale Oeffnung 48 im Teil 15 des Behälters 11 weist eine ringförmige Ausnehmung 49 auf, welche einen O-Ring 50 aus einem Elastomer aufnimmt. Der Teil 15 umgibt einen ringförmigen Kragen 51 kreisförmig, dessen obere EndenAn axial opening 48 in part 15 of the container 11 has an annular recess 49 which has a Receives O-ring 50 made of an elastomer.

im Teil 15 fest angeordnet und ist einstückig mit ihm ausgebildet. Ein bewegbares Ventilglied 53 ist im Kragen 51 angeordnet und ist mit einem ringförmigen Rand 54 ausgestattet, der eine Vertiefung 55 zur Aufnahme des unteren Endes des hohlen Vorsprunges 32 begrenzt. Eine ringförmige Endfläche 56 am Ventilglied 53 liegt gegen den O-Ring 50 an, so dass eine Dichtung entsteht. Das Ventilglied 53 ist in geschlossener Stellung gegen den Or-Ring 50 mittels einer Schraubenfeder 57 gepresst, welche sich zwischen der Bodenwand 58 des Kragens und der Schulter 59 am Ventilglied 53 erstreckt. Ein unter Druck stehender Brennstoff, z.B. verflüssigtes Petrpleumgas, im Behälter 11 strömt durch eine Oeffnung 62 in der Bodenwand 58 und durch einen ringförmigen Raum zwischen dem Ventilglied 53 und der Bohrung 6 3 des Kragens 51, wobei aber eine Leckage wegen der Berührung der ringförmigen Endfläche mit dem O-Ring 50 verhindert wird.fixed in part 15 and is formed in one piece with it. A movable valve member 53 is arranged in the collar 51 and is equipped with an annular rim 54, which delimits a recess 55 for receiving the lower end of the hollow projection 32. An annular one End surface 56 on valve member 53 lies against O-ring 50 so that a seal is created. The valve member 53 is in the closed position against the Or-ring 50 by means of a Coiled spring 57 is pressed, which is located between the bottom wall 58 of the collar and the shoulder 59 on the valve member 53 extends. A pressurized fuel, e.g. liquefied petroleum gas, in the container 11 flows through a Opening 62 in the bottom wall 58 and through an annular space between the valve member 53 and the bore 6 3 of the collar 51, but leakage due to the contact of the annular end face with the O-ring 50 is prevented.

sehlossenen Stellungen in den Fig. 2 und 4 zur offenen Stellung nach Fig. 5. Diese ineinander eingreifenden Teile umfassen das untere Ende des Vorsprunges 32 und eine Kreuzrippe 65, die am Boden der Vertiefung 55 befestigt ist. Wenn das Zündglied 13 innerhalb des Führungsgehäuses 12 in einer 'solchen Richtung bewegt wird, dass sie Teile 64 und 65 be-••.rührt, um die Schraubenfeder 57 zusammen zu drücken, wird das Ventilglied 53 in seine offene Stellung bewegt, wobei die ringförmige Endfläche 56 mit Abstand vom O-Ring 50 angeordnet ist. Die Aussenflache 33 des Vorsprunges 32 verbleibt aber im Dichtungsverhältnis mit dem O-Ring 50. In- j folgedessen fliesst ein unter Druck stehender Brennstoff durch den Ringraum zwischen der Bohrung 63 una dem Ventilglied 53 in die Vertiefung 55, durch die Oeffnung 34 und in das Innere des hohlen Vorsprunges 32.closed positions in Figs. 2 and 4 to the open Position according to Fig. 5. These interlocking parts comprise the lower end of the projection 32 and a cross rib 65, which is attached to the bottom of the recess 55. When the ignition member 13 within the guide housing 12 in a 'is moved in such a direction that it touches parts 64 and 65, to compress the coil spring 57, the valve member 53 is moved to its open position, wherein the annular end surface 56 at a distance from the O-ring 50 is arranged. The outer surface 33 of the projection 32 remains but in the sealing relationship with the O-ring 50. As a result, a pressurized fuel flows through the annular space between the bore 63 and the valve member 53 into the recess 55, through the opening 34 and inside the hollow protrusion 32.

Der Brennstoff fliesst zur Reguiatorvorrichtung 36 in der oben beschriebenen Art und entweicht in den Niederdruckkanal 45, der zu einer Brenneröffnung 68 führt. Diese Oeffnung ist in einer Endwand des Teiles 17 ausgebildet und ist derart angeordnet, dass die von der Berührung zwischen dem Funkenrad 25 und dem Zündstein 28 herrührenden Funken das Anzünden des Brennstoffes bewirken, der aus der Oeffnung 68 in eine vorstehende Tasche 69 eindringt. Es wirdThe fuel flows to the regulator device 36 in the manner described above and escapes into the low-pressure channel 45, which leads to a burner opening 68. This opening is formed in one end wall of the part 17 and is arranged such that the sparks resulting from the contact between the spark wheel 25 and the flint 28 are ignited cause the fuel to ignite and penetrate from the opening 68 into a protruding pocket 69. It will

darauf hingewiesen, dass der Kanal 31, die Regulatorvorrichtung 36 und der Kanal H5 einen Verbindungskanal 'zwischen' dem hohlen Vorsprung 32 und der Brenneröffnung 68 bilden.noted that the channel 31, the regulator device 36 and the channel H5 a connecting channel 'between' the hollow protrusion 32 and the burner opening 68.

Die Teile bleiben in derjenigen Stellung, welche in den Fig. 2 und H gezeigt ist, solange, bis eine Flamme an "der Brenneröffnung 68 zu erzeugen ist. Das Führungsgehäuse •12 kann von den Fingern der einen Hand umfasst werden, währen der Daumen einen Druck auf das Zündrad 2 5 nach unten ausübt, wie in den Fig. 1 und 2 gesehen, um es in eine Drehbewegung im Uhrzeigersinn zu versetzen. Der nach unter gerichtete Druck auf das Zündrad 25 bewirkt, dass das Zündglied 13 innerhalb des Führungsgehäuses 12 nach unten gleitet. Dabei ist nur eine sehr kleine Bewegung erforderlich, wobei aber die maximale Bewegung von der Berührung einer Schulter 71 mit einer Schulter 7 2 begrenzt wird. Diese nach unten gerichtete Bewegung des Zündgliedes 13 bewirkt, dass der hohle Vorsprung 32 das Ventilglied 53 gegen die Wirkung der Schraubenfeder 57 bewegt, wobei die Endfläche 56 am Ventilglied 53 vom O-Ring 50 weg zur offenen Stellung nach Fig. 5 bewegt wird. Infolgedessen kann unter Druck stehender Brennstoff in die Vertiefung 55 und in den Kanal 34 innerhalb des hohlen Vorsprunges 32 eindringen. Unter Druck stehender Brennstoff kann nicht zwischen der Oeffnung H8 und dem hohlen Vorsprung 3The parts remain in the position shown in FIGS. 2 and H until a flame is on "of the burner opening 68. The guide housing • 12 can be grasped by the fingers of one hand while the thumb exerts a downward pressure on the ignition wheel 2 5, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, in order to make it rotate to move clockwise. The downward pressure on the ignition wheel 25 causes the ignition member 13 within of the guide housing 12 slides downward. Only a very small movement is required, but the maximum movement from touching a shoulder 71 with a shoulder 7 2 is limited. This downward movement of the firing member 13 causes the hollow projection 32 moves the valve member 53 against the action of the helical spring 57, the end face 56 on the valve member 53 is moved away from the O-ring 50 to the open position of FIG. As a result, pressurized fuel into the recess 55 and into the channel 34 within the hollow Projection 32 penetrate. Fuel under pressure cannot pass between the opening H8 and the hollow projection 3

entweichen, weil die Abdichtung zwischen dem O-Ring 50 und der Aussenflache 3 3 des hohlen Vorsprunges 3 2 'dies verhindert. Der relativ hohe Druck im Inneren des hohlen Vorsprunges 3 2 wird von der Regulatorvorrichtung 36 derart reduziert, dass ein unter einem sehr niedrigen Druck ste-'hender Brennstoff durch den Kanal 15 und durch die Brenneröffnung 68 strömen kann, wo eine Flamme mittels eines von der Berührung zwischen dem Funkenrad 25 und dem Zündstein 28 herrührenden Funkens gezündet wird.escape because the seal between the O-ring 50 and the outer surface 3 3 of the hollow projection 3 2 'this prevented. The relatively high pressure inside the hollow projection 3 2 is controlled by the regulator device 36 in this way reduces a very low pressure fuel through the channel 15 and through the burner opening 68 can flow where a flame by means of one of the contact between the spark wheel 25 and the flint 28 resulting spark is ignited.

VJenn es erwünscht ist, dass die Flamme an der Brenneröffnung 68 während längerer Zeit brennt, wird der nach unten gerichtete Druck auf das Funkenrad 25 aufrecht erhalten. Wenn andererseits die Flamme nur während weniger Sekunden benötigt wird, wird der Druck auf das Funkenrad. 25 beendet, damit die Schraubenfeder 67, welche durch die Teile 65 und 32 wirksam ist, das Zündglied 13 in die geschlossene, in den Fig. 2 und 1 gezeigte Stellung zurückbewegt. In dieser Stellung wird ein weiterer Fluss aus dem Behälter 11 durch die Berührung der Endfläche 56 mit dem O-Ring 50 verhindert. Der O-Ring 50 übt eine Haltekraft auf die Vergrösserung 61 am unteren Ende des hohlen Vorsprunges 32 auf, damit sie nicht aus dem O-Ring bewegbar ist. Die relativ geringe Menge des unter einem hohen DruckIf it is desired that the flame at the burner opening 68 burns for an extended period of time, the downward pressure on the spark wheel 25 is maintained. If, on the other hand, the flame is only during less seconds is needed, the pressure on the spark wheel. 25 finished so that the coil spring 67, which is effective by the parts 65 and 32, the ignition member 13 in the closed position shown in Figs moved back. In this position there is a further flow from the container 11 by the contact of the end surface 56 with the O-ring 50 prevented. The O-ring 50 exerts a holding force on the enlargement 61 at the lower end of the hollow projection 32 so that it cannot be moved out of the O-ring is. The relatively small amount of under high pressure

stehenden Brennstoffes innerhalb der Vertiefung 55 und im Inneren des hohlen Vorsprunges 32 wird an der Brenneröffnung 68 bei niedrigem Druck verbrannt. Die Menge des unter einem hohen Druck stehenden Brennstoffes, der beim Schliessen des .Ventilgliedes 53 zu verbrennen ist, wird von der Grosse des - Kanals 34 innerhalb des hohlen Vorsprunges 32 bestimmt. Die .Brennstoffzufuhr zur Flamme an der Brenneröffnung 68 ist in wenigen Sekungen erschöpft, und die Flamme stirbt rasch, ohne sie in nennenswertem Masse langsam schwächer wird.Standing fuel within the recess 55 and inside the hollow projection 32 is attached to the burner opening 68 burned at low pressure. The amount of under one high pressure fuel that is to be burned when the valve member 53 is closed, is determined by the size of the - Channel 34 within the hollow projection 32 is determined. the .Fuel supply to the flame at burner opening 68 is in exhausted a few seconds, and the flame dies quickly, without it slowly becoming weaker to any appreciable extent.

Die Vergösserung 64 am Ende des hohlen Vorsprunges 32 begrenzt normalerweise die nach oben gerichtete Bewegung des Zündgliedes 13, einschliesslich der Teile 17, 18 und 19, unter der Kraft der Schraubenfeder 57, die auf das Ventilglied 53 wirkt. Der O-Ring 50 ist'aber derart verformbar ausgebildet, dass diese Vergrösserung 64 durch Ausübung einer manuellen Kraft, die in axialer Richtung auf das Führungsgehäuse 12 ausgeübt wird, in beiden Richtungen durch den O-Ring 50 gehen kann. Eine Schulter 74 ist am Boden eines Schlitzes 75 angeordnet, welche das Zündrad 2 5 aufnimmt, und diese Schulter 74 liegt unter einem Teil des Zündrades, so dass bei einer nach oben gerichteten Bewegung des Führungsgehäuses 12 relativ zum Behälter 11, das Zündglied mitgeführt wird, so dass die Vergrösserung 64 durch den O-RingThe enlargement 64 at the end of the hollow projection 32 normally limits upward movement of the ignition member 13, including the parts 17, 18 and 19, under the force of the helical spring 57 acting on the valve member 53 works. The O-ring 50 is, however, designed to be deformable in such a way that that this enlargement 64 by exerting a manual force in the axial direction on the guide housing 12 is exercised, can go through the O-ring 50 in both directions. A shoulder 74 is at the bottom of one Slit 75 arranged, which receives the ignition wheel 2 5, and this shoulder 74 is under part of the ignition wheel, so that with an upward movement of the guide housing 12 relative to the container 11, the ignition member is carried along so that the enlargement 64 through the O-ring

Wenn der Behälter 11, nachdem der Brennstoffvorrat ausgegangen ist, wieder aufgefüllt werden soll, t werden das Führungsgehäuse und das Zündglied 13 als eine Einheit "vom Behälter 11 entfernt. Wie bereits erwähnt, ge-'echieht dies dadurch, dass das Führungsgehäuse in axialer •Richtung vom Behälter 11 bewegt wird, um die Teile an der Verbindungsstelle 73 zu trennen. Aus Fig. 7 geht hervor, dass dadurch die Oeffnung 48 am oberen Ende des Teiles 15 des Behälters 11 freigelegt wird. Ein Füllrohr 77 herkömmlicher Ausführung wird dann in die Oeffnung 48 und in das ' Innere des O-Ringes 50 eingedrückt, so dass es in das Ventilglied 53 eingreift und es in einer Richtung zum Zusammendrücken der Schraubenfeder 57 bewegt. Dadurch wird die Endfläche 56 vom ORing 50 wegbewegt, und ein Kanal für die Zufuhr von unter Druck stehendem Brennstoff durch das Füllrohr in die Vertiefung 55, über die ringförmige Endfläche 56 und durch den Raum rund um das Ventil 53 und innerhalb der Bohrung und durch die Oeffnung 62 in das Innere des Behälters geschaffen·. Wegen der Berührung zwischen dem O-Ring 50 und der zylindrischen Aussenfläche des Füllrohres 74 wird verhindert, dass der Brennstoff während des Füllvorganges entweicht.When the container 11 after the fuel supply is assumed to be refilled, t the guide housing and the ignition member 13 as one Unit "removed from the container 11. As already mentioned, ge-'echected this in that the guide housing is moved in the axial • direction of the container 11 to the parts on the Separate connection point 73. From Fig. 7 it can be seen that the opening 48 at the upper end of the part 15 of the container 11 is exposed. A filling pipe 77 of conventional design is then inserted into the opening 48 and into the ' The inside of the O-ring 50 is pressed in so that it fits into the Valve member 53 engages and moves it in a direction to compress coil spring 57. Through this the end face 56 is moved away from the O-ring 50, and a channel for the supply of pressurized fuel through the fill tube into recess 55, over annular end surface 56 and through the space around the valve 53 and created within the bore and through the opening 62 in the interior of the container ·. Because of the touch between the O-ring 50 and the cylindrical outer surface of the filling tube 74 prevents the fuel during the filling process escapes.
