Pressure lever for operating piezoelectric gas lighters.

The invention relates to a pressure lever for actuating piezo-electric gas lighters.

Piezo-electric gas lighters are already known which are operated by means of a pressure lever which is hinged to a stationary support and a Has regulating and adjusting screw, which acts with its tip in a cavity that is at one end of the piezo-electric cartridge is provided to reduce the compression of this latter as a result of angular adjustments of the lever at the corresponding pivot point.

In the known designs of such pressure lever, the pressure lever is made of an L-shaped metal element and

formed from a cape-like element made of plastic material produced by injection or the like and is attached to the metal element * around this to be locked and wrapped and covered *

The L-shaped metal element per se contains a first one Arm extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the piezoelectric cartridge and the regulating and adjusting screw, which is also used for compression, carries and a que »· or transversal Has recess for articulated attachment to the stationary support, and a second arm pointing in the direction of the Axis of the piezo-electric cartridge runs and on which the cap-like element made of plastic material is appropriate.

Such a construction is relatively expensive |

The aim of the present invention, on the other hand, is to reduce the construction of the pressure lever, which is used to operate piezo-electric gas lighters, to simplify and at the same time the production

The pressure lever according to the invention ordered from a metallic one Element in the form of a plate 1 and a cap-like element 2, which is vortex-like is injection-molded or pressed from plastic material, wherein these two elements are associated with one another in such a way that they are essentially perpendicular to one another.

For the above-mentioned purpose, the cap 2 has a receptacle in the area of the corresponding lateral longitudinal walls 3, 3 4- bounded by shoulders 5 and / or ribs 6 and which are opposed to each other as shown in FIG. 3 is defined. In this shot is the metal plate 1 inserted simply by snap action, as shown in FIGS. 4- and 5.

The metal element 1 has a transversely or transversely extending cavity or a corresponding slot 7 on one of its surfaces, which is intended to be connected to a corresponding projection 8 'of a stationary or fixed support in the form of a frame 8 in the manner of a To work together with the joint and to be connected to it; In addition, this plate is provided with a regulating and adjusting screw 9, which has a point which is directed towards and engages in a recess 10 * provided at the end of the piezoelectric cartridge 10 of the lighter, the cartridge being known per se Type on the frame-like carrier 8 onge

"is brought.

As "has already been said above, essentially form the two elements 1 and 2 in combination the two arms of an L-shaped lever and are used to pivot Storage of the pressure lever on the frame-like! Carrier 8 and on the other hand to actuate the pressure lever itself with the purpose and aim of its angular adjustments at the articulation parts to which the actuation corresponds to the piezo-electric cartridge 10 for the use of the gas lighter. The cap-like element 2 is provided with lateral pins 11, with the help of which it can be hinged to the body 12 of the gas lighter.

The plate-shaped element 1 is made of metal and guaranteed As a result, the articulated mounting on the fixed or stationary carrier does not experience any wear, not even if it is used for a long time while the plastic material element is in turn in Combination and in cooperation with the metal element contributes to the fact that the structure of the pressure lever in relation to the structure of the known pressure lever is simplified and made lighter, but without this its effectiveness and functionality and its robustness are somehow reduced.
