Definitions

  • the invention thus creates a new lighter forming a snuffer, the production of which is so simple and effective that it can be produced in very large series without significantly modifying the cost price of disposable lighters on the market.
  • the invention means that the general appearance of the lighter is not modified, so that the extinguisher portion does not change the aesthetics of the lighter nor the can be placed in the same way as an ordinary disposable lighter.
  • the invention allows fully automated manufacturing.
  • the invention solves the problem set out in the foregoing.
  • the lighter forming an extinguisher ashtray according to document FR-A-2 359 377 has a housing in the bottom of the body of the lighter and which has a frustoconical internal wall of revolution.
  • the lighter provided with a snuffer constituted by a capsule joined fixedly to the bottom of the body of the lighter and having a frustoconical internal wall of revolution is characterized in that the frustoconical internal wall of the capsule is coaxial with 1 axis longitudinal of the body of the lighter and is connected to spherical sectors joined by a flat part, the surface of said frustoconical internal wall of the capsule being polished and the diameter of the mouth of this capsule corresponding substantially to its depth, so as to cause compaction and compaction of the initially incandescent parts of a cigarette by obtaining their rapid extinction to then prevent the dispersion of the ashes after extinction.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show, in elevation, a lighter whose body is designated by 1 and which is manufactured, for example, from synthetic material, by injection molding or by another process.
  • the lighter comprises a trigger 2, a thumb wheel 3 and a flame arrester 4 which are attached to one end of the body 1 constituting a tank for a fuel, in particular a liquefied gas.
  • the bottom 5 of the lighter is constituted by an insert, for example forcibly engaged and possibly welded to the internal 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 this bottom must be able to withstand relatively large forces. Polyamides are a particularly suitable material.
  • the bottom 5 in the form of a socket is provided, at its middle part, with a bowl 6 intended to constitute a snuffer.
  • the bowl 6 is preferably made of metal, for example aluminum or another metal and it externally delimits a substantially cylindrical wall 7 which is force-fitted into the bottom in the form of a socket to which it is rigidly connected.
  • a flange 8 is provided to limit the sinking 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 constitutes a projection liable to unbalance it.
  • the internal wall 9 of the bowl 6 has, first of all, a cylindrical or preferably slightly frustoconical shape as shown, then a vaulted shape, as shown generally in 10.
  • the arch shape delimits two spherical sectors 10a, 10b connected by a flat part 10c. It is also important that the internal wall at the base of the frustoconical part is rounded as illustrated in 9a.
  • the diameter of the mouth of the bowl 6 is chosen so that it corresponds substantially to that of a cigarette and the conical shape of the internal wall 9 is chosen to compensate for the differences in diameter that different brands of cigarettes may have, while the depth of the bowl 6 is substantially equal to the diameter of the cigarette.
  • the bowl is mounted coaxially with the body 1 of the lighter.
  • the entire internal wall that is to say the wall 9 and the wall 10 in the form of an arch
  • this characteristic having the effect of facilitating extinction in ensuring a complete seal between the periphery of the cigarette and the wall.
  • the polished state of the wall ensures the compaction of the incandescent part by wedging and compaction, which then prevents the dispersion of the ashes after extinction.
  • the polished appearance of the entire wall prevents the adhesion of the ashes when the cigarette is extinguished, which always keeps a bowl clean and, in any case, easily cleanable whose effectiveness does is not reduced as would be the case if this wall were partially covered with a layer of soot or adherent ash.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates a variant according to which the bowl 6a is formed to adapt directly to the body 1 of the lighter without interposition of the bottom 5 in the form of a socket.
  • the bowl 6a is constituted by a preferably molded part which has a configuration such that it can be adapted directly to the internal wall of the body 1 of the lighter.
  • the bowl 6a can be made of molded metal but also of molded synthetic material or otherwise shaped as long as this material has an internal wall 9, 10 smooth and polished.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates a development of the invention according to which a plate 11 is fixed to the bottom 5 by means of a pin 12.
  • the plate 11 advantageously has a concavity 13 corresponding to the mouth of the bowl 6.
  • the plate 11 is made of flexible material, for example aluminum or synthetic material and, in this way, the concave part 13 when it is brought into coincidence with the mouth of the bowl 6 ensures slight locking.
  • the opening by pivoting of the plate 11 around the axis 12 as shown diagrammatically, in phantom, in FIG. 6 causes its elastic deformation, which then facilitates its replacement, by a simple push and its new locking.
  • the part constituting the extinguisher assembly forms an integral part of the lighter.
  • This part can however be added as illustrated in fig. 7.
  • the bowl 5 is formed from an envelope 14 which is designed to tighten the lower edge of the body 1 of the lighter and to be locked thereon by locking means 15 constituted for example by lugs formed from punctures, by a rod or by any other means known in the art.
  • the envelope 14 can be made of stamped or molded metal or as described in the foregoing in synthetic material.
