Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for adjusting the gas flow rate of a liquefied gas lighter and, more specifically, a device for adjusting the maximum height of the flame likely to be supplied by the lighter to a given value.
  • Most devices for adjusting the gas flow rate of liquefied gas lighters use a compressible element, with or without gas passing through it, which is compressed more or less according to the desired gas flow rate. Some of these devices additionally comprise means making it possible to limit the gas flow rate, and therefore the height of the flame supplied, to a given maximum value.
  • Control devices are thus known in which, on the one hand, the presetting is ensured by an annular compression of a permeable disc compressible by means of a first annular screw screwed in the body of the regulator and, on the other hand, the adjustment is ensured by central compression of the same disc by means of a second screw screwed into an internal thread of the first.
  • This type of device allows easy access to the presetting and adjustment means from outside the lighter and therefore makes it possible to correct the maximum flame height or use flame without having to dismantle one or the other. preset or adjustment systems.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a device for adjusting the gas flow rate of the aforementioned type, in which the presetting system, that is to say adjusting the maximum flame height, and the system for adjustment of the flame at the height of use are both independent of one another and actuable from the outside of the lighter, without disassembly and therefore without adjustment.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for adjusting the gas flow rate of a liquefied gas lighter, of the type comprising an elastic permeable disc, disposed in the gas supply circuit of the burner and subjected to compression.
  • a first annular compression element screwed into a threaded recess of the lighter and capable of compressing the disc on its periphery
  • a second central compression element slidably mounted at the interior of the first and able to compress the permeable disc in its central part
  • said control member is slidably mounted between two positions, one preset position, in which it is coupled in rotation with the annular compression element and does not compress the central part of the disc in compression, and an adjustment position, in which it is uncoupled from the annular compression element and exerts on the central compression element an axial compression force.
  • the two adjustment elements are thus independent of each other, access to each of them being possible without it being necessary to disassemble the other.
  • the rotational connection of the adjustment control member and the annular compression element may be achieved, for example, by means of longitudinal grooves of complementary shape provided on these two parts.
  • the device according to the invention may be considerably simplified by producing in one and the same piece the adjustment control member and the central compression element.
  • the gas flow control system is arranged inside a cavity 1 of a tube 3 fixed to the bottom 5 of the tank of a lighter.
  • This cavity communicates with the lighter burner (not shown in the drawing) by a channel 11. This can be closed by means of a valve 9.
  • An elastic permeable disc 13 is compressed against the bottom 15 of the cavity 1, on the one hand, by an annular compression element 17 and, on the other hand, by a central compression element 20, which, in the present embodiment, consists of the end of the adjustment control member 31.
  • the annular compression element 17 consists of a screw. The latter is screwed into a thread 21 of the tube 3. It is hollowed axially from a cavity 22 intended to receive the central compression element 20.
  • the adjustment control member 31 mainly comprises a threaded crown 23, capable of being screwed into the thread 21 of the tube 3, a hexagonal part 33, capable of being coupled in rotation with a hexagonal recess 32 of the screw 17, and the central compression element 20.
  • O-rings 4 and 6 respectively ensure the seal between the tube 3 and the central compression element 20, on the one hand, and between this central compression element and the compression element annular 17, on the other hand.
  • a presetting step or adjustment of the maximum flow rate of gas capable of being delivered by the lighter, followed by a step of adjustment, consisting in bringing the flow rate to its normal level of use.
  • the adjustment control member 31 is unscrewed until the threaded ring 23 is completely freed from the thread 21. In so doing, the central compression element 20 is moved away from the disc 13 ,. eliminating at the same time any possibility of influencing the preset rate with a compression of the disc caused by this element. Then the control member 31 is made to slide until its hexagonal part 33 is received in the hexagonal recess 32 of the screw 17, so as to ensure the rotational coupling of these two parts. Therefore, any rotation of the system 31 causes that of the screw 17 and thus its longitudinal displacement, and makes it possible to adjust the compression of the annular part of the disc 13 so as to obtain the gas flow corresponding to the flame of maximum desired height. .
  • control member 31 is then pushed back so as to disconnect it from the screw 17, then it is screwed so as to put the threaded crown 23 in engagement with the thread 21.
  • the adjustment of the flow corresponding to the desired flame height of use is then obtained by adjusting the compression of the disc 13 by turning the control member 31 more or less.
  • the central compression element can be produced in several ways.
  • the compression transmitted by the adjustment control member 40 is exerted on the elastic permeable disc 43 by a central compression element 41, housed, as before, in a cavity of the annular compression element 46.
  • the element 41 is provided at its base with a semi-spherical part 42 intended to minimize rotation coupling with the control member 40. This avoids, during the compression, to urge the disc 43 in rotation, which makes it possible to save it and extend its service life.
  • the walls 44 of the cavity 45 of the annular compression element 46 are inclined.
  • the O-ring 47 acts as an elastic return means and moves the central compression element 41 away from the disc 43, to apply it against the bottom 48 of the cavity 45, when 'It is no longer requested by the control member 40.
  • a ring 60 is interposed at the base of the annular compression element 63, between that -ci and the control member 62.
  • the upper part of this ring acts as a stop vis-à-vis the screw 63.
  • the screw 63 during a significant axial downward movement may escape the hexagonal portion 64. To be able to secure them again, it would then be necessary to disassemble the entire device.
  • the ring 60 by preventing any excessive movement of the screw 63 downwards overcomes this drawback.
  • the device for adjusting the gas flow rate is arranged in a tube fixed to the body of the lighter. This device is reversed with respect to that described in the embodiment of FIG. 1.
  • the analogous elements are represented by the same numbers assigned to the index '.
  • the central compression element 31 ′ comprises a cavity 70 receiving a burner-valve 72.
  • the latter on the one hand, delivers the flame and, on the other hand, ensures the obturation of the channel 74 providing the communication of the cavities 1 'and 70.
  • the valve burner 72 is applied, in the closed position, against the bottom of the cavity 70 by a compression spring 76 bearing, on the one hand, on the valve burner and, on the other part, on a stop 78 fixed on the adjustment control member 31 '.
  • the sealing of the latter with the walls of the cavity 1 ' is ensured by a ring 73 provided with two sealing O-rings 75 and 77.
  • the presetting and adjustment operations are carried out as described above using the compression control system 31 ′.
