Description

Il est connu qu'un grand nombre d'incendies sont provo­qués par l'habitude qu'ont les fumeurs de jeter des mégots de cigarettes non éteints. Les évènements de l'actualité de ces dernières années ont montré que cette habitude crée des sinistres catastrophiques qui attei­gnent les dimensions d'un véritable fléau responsable de la destruction d'innombrables hectares de forêts et responsable, aussi, d'accidents très graves dans des sites urbains.It is known that a large number of fires are caused by the habit of smokers throwing cigarette butts not extinguished. Current events in recent years have shown that this habit creates catastrophic catastrophes that reach the dimensions of a real scourge responsible for the destruction of countless hectares of forests and responsible for very serious accidents too. urban sites.

Pour combattre le geste réflexe qu'ont la plupart des fumeurs et consistant à jeter leurs mégots non éteints, il apparaît essentiel de créer progressivement une nouvelle habitude et, pour cela, de proposer un objet qui incite tout d'abord le fumeur à l'utiliser du fait même de sa nouveauté. Mais, il a été remarqué que, pour permettre de créer petit à petit cette nouvelle habitude, il est indispensable que l'objet, permettant d'éteindre les cigarettes avant qu'elles soient jetées, ne soit pas d'un prix plus élevé ou tout au moins que le prix supé­rieur soit assez faible pour qu'il ne gêne pas la commer­cialisation qui existe actuellement en matière de bri­quets jetables.In order to combat the reflex gesture that most smokers make and to throw away their non-extinct butts, it seems essential to gradually create a new habit and, for that, to propose an object that encourages the smoker first of all to use the very fact of its novelty. But, it has been noticed that, to allow this new habit to be created little by little, it is essential that the object, which makes it possible to extinguish the cigarettes before they are thrown away, is not of a higher price or at least the higher price is low enough that it does not interfere with the current marketing of disposable lighters.

L'invention crée ainsi un nouveau briquet formant étei­gnoir dont la réalisation est si simple et si efficace qu'il peut être produit en très grandes séries sans modifier de façon importante le prix de revient des briquets jetables se trouvant sur le marché.The invention thus creates a new lighter forming extinguisher whose realization is so simple and effective that it can be produced in very large series without significantly changing the cost price of disposable lighters on the market.

Par ailleurs, l'invention fait que l'aspect général du briquet n'est pas modifié, de sorte que la partie formant éteignoir ne change pas l'esthétique du briquet ni la possibilité de le poser de la même manière qu'un briquet jetable ordinaire.Furthermore, the invention makes the general appearance of the lighter is not modified, so that the party forming extinguisher does not change the aesthetics of the lighter or the possibility to put it in the same way as an ordinary disposable lighter.

Par ailleurs, les fumeurs ayant généralement l'habitude de manipuler leur briquet entre les doigts, le dispositif formant éteignoir leur apparaît et les incite ainsi à le mettre en oeuvre ce qui tend à induire petit à petit le réflexe d'habitude qui est recherché.Moreover, smokers usually have the habit of manipulating their lighter between the fingers, the device forming extinguisher appears to them and thus encourages them to implement what tends to induce little by little the usual reflex that is sought.

De plus, l'invention permet une fabrication entièrement automatisée.In addition, the invention allows a fully automated manufacturing.

L'invention résout le problème exposé dans ce qui pré­cède.The invention solves the problem set forth in the foregoing.

Conformément à l'invention, l'éteignoir pour briquet et le briquet en faisant application sont caractérisés par une cuvette présentant une paroi interne de révolution se terminant en voûte, ladite paroi interne de ladite cuvette étant polie et présentant une embouchure dont le diamètre correspond sensiblement à celui d'une cigarette et ladite cuvette étant réunie fixement au fond du corps du briquet.According to the invention, the extinguisher for a lighter and the lighter in application are characterized by a bowl having an inner wall of revolution ending in a vault, said inner wall of said bowl being polished and having a mouth whose diameter corresponds substantially to that of a cigarette and said bowl being fixedly joined to the bottom of the body of the lighter.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressor­tent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit.Various other features of the invention will emerge from the detailed description which follows.

Des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention sont représentées, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, aux dessins annexés.

  • La fig. 1 est une élévation latérale d'un briquet jetable faisant application de l'invention.
  • La fig. 2 est une élévation du même briquet mais tourné de 90°.
  • La fig. 3 est une coupe, à plus grande échelle, prise sensiblement suivant la ligne III-III de la fig. 2.
  • La fig. 4 est une coupe analogue à la fig. 3 illustrant une variante.
  • La fig. 5 est une coupe prise sensiblement suivant la ligne V-V de la fig. 1.
  • La fig. 6 est une élévation vue sensiblement suivant la ligne VI-VI de la fig. 5.
  • La fig. 7 est une coupe analogue à la fig. 5 d'une autre variante.
Embodiments of the subject of the invention are shown by way of non-limiting examples in the accompanying drawings.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a disposable lighter making use of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same lighter but turned 90 °.
  • Fig. 3 is a section, on a larger scale, taken substantially along the line III-III of FIG. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is a section similar to FIG. 3 illustrating a variant.
  • Fig. 5 is a section taken substantially along the line VV of FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 6 is an elevation seen substantially along the line VI-VI of FIG. 5.
  • Fig. 7 is a section similar to FIG. 5 of another variant.

Les fig. 1 et 2 montrent, en élévation, un briquet dont le corps est désigné par 1 et qui est fabriqué, par exemple, en matière synthétique, par moulage par injec­tion ou par un autre procédé.Figs. 1 and 2 show, in elevation, a lighter whose body is designated 1 and which is manufactured, for example, of synthetic material, by injection molding or by another method.

De manière connue, le briquet comporte une gâchette 2, une molette 3 et une pare-flamme 4 qui sont rapportés à une extrémité du corps 1 constituant un réservoir pour un combustible notamment un gaz liquéfié.In known manner, the lighter comprises a trigger 2, a wheel 3 and a flame arrester 4 which are attached to one end of the body 1 constituting a reservoir for a fuel including a liquefied gas.

Le fond 5 du briquet est constitué par une pièce rappor­tée, par exemple engagée à force et éventuellement soudée à la paroi interne du corps 1. Il est avantageux, pour assurer une bonne fermeture, que le fond 5 présente, sensiblement, la conformation d'une douille entrant à l'intérieur du corps 1 comme illustré à la fig. 3. Le fond 5 peut être réalisé dans la même matière que le corps 1 ou dans une matière différente, ce qui est souvent préférable lorsque ce fond doit pouvoir supporter des efforts relativement importants. Des polyamides constituent une matière particulièrement appropriée.The bottom 5 of the lighter is constituted by an insert, for example forcibly engaged and optionally welded to the inner wall of the body 1. It is advantageous, to ensure good closure, that the bottom 5 has, substantially, the conformation of a socket entering inside the body 1 as illustrated in FIG. 3. The bottom 5 can be made of the same material as the body 1 or in a different material, which is often preferable when the bottom must be able to withstand relatively large efforts. Polyamides are a particularly suitable material.

Comme l'illustre la fig. 3, le fond 5 en forme de douille est muni, à sa partie médiane, d'une cuvette 6 destinée à constituer un éteignoir.As shown in fig. 3, the bottom 5 in the form of a sleeve is provided in its middle part, a bowl 6 intended to constitute a snuffer.

La cuvette 6 est, de préférence, fabriquée en métal, par exemple en aluminium ou un autre métal et elle délimite extérieurement une paroi 7 sensiblement cylindrique qui est engagée à force dans le fond en forme de douille à laquelle elle est reliée rigidement. Une collerette 8 est prévue pour limiter l'enfoncement de la cuvette 6 et le dessous 8a de cette collerette est soit de niveau soit en-deça du dessous 5a du fond 5 pour que le briquet puisse être posé sur son fond 5 et demeurer stable sans que la cuvette 6 constitue une saillie susceptible de le déséquilibrer.The bowl 6 is preferably made of metal, for example aluminum or another metal and externally delimits a substantially cylindrical wall 7 which is forced into the socket-shaped bottom to which it is rigidly connected. A flange 8 is provided to limit the depression of the bowl 6 and the bottom 8a of this flange is either level or below the bottom 5a of the bottom 5 so that the lighter can be placed on its bottom 5 and remain stable without that the bowl 6 is a projection likely to unbalance.

La paroi interne 9 de la cuvette 6 présente, tout d'abord, une forme cylindrique ou de préférence légère­ment tronconique comme cela est représenté puis, une forme en voûte, comme montré d'une façon générale en 10.The inner wall 9 of the bowl 6 has, firstly, a cylindrical or preferably slightly frustoconical shape as shown and then a vaulted shape, as generally shown in FIG.

De préférence, la forme en voûte délimite deux secteurs sphériques 10a, 10b reliés par une partie plane 10c. Il importe également que la paroi interne à la base de la partie tronconique soit arrondie comme illustré en 9a.Preferably, the arched shape delimits two spherical sectors 10a, 10b connected by a flat portion 10c. It is also important that the inner wall at the base of the frustoconical portion is rounded as shown in 9a.

On choisit le diamètre de l'embouchure de la cuvette 6 pour qu'il corresponde sensiblement à celui d'une ciga­rette et la forme conique de la paroi interne 9 est choisie pour compenser les différences de diamètre que peuvent présenter différentes marques de cigarettes.The diameter of the mouth of the bowl 6 is chosen to correspond substantially to that of a cigarette and the conical shape of the inner wall 9 is chosen to compensate for differences in diameter that different brands of cigarettes may have.

Outre ce qui précède, il est avantageux que l'ensemble de la paroi interne, c'est-à-dire la paroi 9 et la paroi 10 en forme de voûte, soit poli, cette caractéristique ayant pour effet de faciliter l'extinction en assurant une étanchéité complète entre la périphérie de la cigarette et la paroi. En effet, l'état poli de la paroi assure le compactage de la partie incandescente par coincement et tassement, ce qui évite ensuite la dispersion des cendres après extinction.In addition to the above, it is advantageous for the entire internal wall, ie the wall 9 and the arch-shaped wall 10, to be polished, this characteristic having the effect of facilitating the extinguishing thereof. ensuring a complete seal between the periphery of the cigarette and the wall. Indeed, the polished state of the wall ensures the compacting of the incandescent part by jamming and settling, which then prevents the dispersion of the ash after extinction.

De plus, l'aspect poli que présente toute la paroi empêche l'adhérence des cendres lors de l'extinction de la cigarette, ce qui permet de conserver toujours une cuvette propre et, en tout cas, facilement nettoyable dont l'efficacité n'est pas amoindrie comme cela serait le cas si cette paroi était partiellement recouverte d'une couche de suies ou de cendres adhérentes.In addition, the polished appearance of the entire wall prevents the adhesion of ashes during the extinction of the cigarette, which allows to always keep a clean bowl and, in any case, easily cleanable whose effectiveness n ' is not diminished as would be the case if this wall was partially covered with a layer of soot or adherent ash.

La fig. 4 illustre une variante selon laquelle la cuvette 6a est constituée pour s'adapter directement au corps 1 du briquet sans interposition du fond 5 en forme de douille. Dans ce cas, la cuvette 6a est constituée par une pièce de préférence moulée qui présente une configu­ration faisant qu'elle peut s'adapter directement à la paroi interne du corps 1 du briquet. La cuvette 6a peut être réalisée en métal moulé mais également en matière synthétique moulée ou autrement mise en forme pour autant que cette matière présente une paroi interne 9, 10 lisse et polie.Fig. 4 illustrates a variant according to which the bowl 6a is formed to fit directly to the body 1 of the lighter without the interposition of the bottom 5 in the form of socket. In this case, the bowl 6a is constituted by a preferably molded piece which has a configuration that it can adapt directly to the inner wall of the body 1 of the lighter. The bowl 6a can be made of molded metal but also of molded or otherwise shaped synthetic material provided that this material has an inner wall 9, 10 smooth and polished.

Il a, en effet, été constaté, de façon surprenante, que la cuvette n'était pratiquement pas chauffée lors de l'extinction d'une cigarette étant donné la rapidité avec laquelle l'extinction se produit du fait de l'étanchéité obtenue, de façon presque instantanée entre la cigarette et la paroi 9.It has, in fact, been found, surprisingly, that the bowl was practically unheated during the extinction of a cigarette given the speed with which the extinction occurs due to the seal obtained, almost instantaneously between the cigarette and the wall 9.

La fig. 5 illustre un développement de l'invention selon lequel une plaquette 11 est fixée au fond 5 au moyen d'un axe 12.Fig. 5 illustrates a development of the invention according to which a plate 11 is fixed to the bottom 5 by means of an axis 12.

La plaquette 11 présente avantageusement une concavité 13 correspondant à l'embouchure de la cuvette 6.The wafer 11 advantageously has a concavity 13 corresponding to the mouth of the bowl 6.

On réalise la plaquette 11 en matière flexible, par exemple en aluminium ou en matière synthétique et, de cette manière, la partie concave 13 lorsqu'elle est amenée en coïncidence avec l'embouchure de la cuvette 6 assure un léger verrouillage. L'ouverture par pivotement de la plaquette 11 autour de l'axe 12 comme illustré schématiquement, en traits mixtes, à la fig. 6 provoque sa déformation élastique, ce qui facilite ensuite sa remise en place, par une simple poussée et son nouveau verrouillage.The wafer 11 is made of flexible material, for example of aluminum or synthetic material, and in this way the concave portion 13 when brought into coincidence with the mouth of the bowl 6 provides a slight lock. The opening by pivoting of the wafer 11 about the axis 12 as schematically illustrated, in phantom, in FIG. 6 causes its elastic deformation, which then facilitates its introduction, by a simple push and its new lock.

Comme cela ressort des exemples décrits dans ce qui précède, la partie constituant l'ensemble formant étei­gnoir fait partie intégrante du briquet. Cette partie peut cependant être rapportée comme illustré à la fig. 7. Dans ce cas, la cuvette 5 est formée à partir d'une enveloppe 14 qui est prévue pour serrer le bord inférieur du corps 1 du briquet et être verrouillée sur celui-ci par des moyens de verrouillage 15 constitués par exemple par des pattes formées à partir de crevés, par un jonc ou par tous autres moyens connus dans la technique.As is apparent from the examples described above, the part constituting the extinguisher assembly is an integral part of the lighter. This part can however be reported as illustrated in FIG. 7. In this case, the bowl 5 is formed from an envelope 14 which is provided to clamp the lower edge of the body 1 of the lighter and be locked thereon by locking means 15 constituted for example by legs formed from punctures, by a rod or by any other means known in the art.

L'enveloppe 14 peut être réalisée en métal embouti ou moulé ou comme décrit dans ce qui précède en matière synthétique.The envelope 14 may be made of stamped metal or molded or as described in the above synthetic material.

Egalement, comme illustré aux fig. 5 et 6, il est possi­ble de rapporter une plaquette 11 si l'on désire que la cuvette 5 soit fermée.Also, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, it is possible to report a plate 11 if it is desired that the bowl 5 is closed.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation représentés et décrits en détail, car diverses modifica­tions peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown and described in detail, since various modifications can be made without departing from its scope.
