Definitions

  • the present application relates to a child-resistant gas lighter, that is to say a lighter in which, with the ignition mechanism, are associated means for neutralizing this mechanism, movable between an active neutralization position. , in which they prevent actuation of the ignition mechanism, and an erased position in which they allow this actuation, these mobile means being movable, manually, by the user, from their active neutralization position to their erased position.
  • lighters of the aforementioned type are known in which the means for controlling the opening of the valve consist of a tilting lever articulated on an axis fixed orthogonal to the axis of the valve burner, one end of which is in the form of a fork or crown, is engaged under a flange of the valve burner and the other end or actuation end of which is intended to be actuated by the user, by being pushed towards the body of the lighter, against the force of a return spring, and the means for producing sparks are themselves independent or associated with the lever for controlling the opening of the valve , and in which the means for neutralizing the ignition mechanism are normally kept in the neutralization position and are, in addition, arranged to be automatically brought back to the neutralization position, at the end of actuation of the ignition mechanism.
  • WO-A-90/12254 discloses a lighter of the aforementioned type in which the means for neutralizing the ignition mechanism are constituted by a pusher disposed under the actuating end of the rocking lever, movable parallel to the longitudinal axis of this rocking lever, between an active position in which it projects relative to the actuating end lever and an erased position in which it is pushed towards the other end of the rocking lever, this pusher being provided with guide means relative to the body of the lighter.
  • the pusher has the shape of a horseshoe, each lateral branch of elastic material carrying a boss normally located under a skirt bordering the actuating end of the rocking lever so as to prevent this rocking in the direction of opening of the valve, complementary converging ramps being arranged on the internal faces of the side walls of the body of the lighter and on the ends of the branches of the pusher to cause a reduction in the spacing of their bosses when the pusher is moved to the erased position, so as to completely free the trajectory of the skirt of the actuating end of the rocking lever, while the pusher and the external rear face of the skirt of the actuating end of the rocking lever have complementary ramps of the same slope, capable of cooperating, when this end of the rocking lever is pushed in. ur cause the pusher to move in the opposite direction to its active neutralization position.
  • US-A-4 832 596 discloses a lighter in which the means for controlling the opening of the valve consist of a rocking lever articulated on a fixed axis orthogonal to the axis of the valve burner, one end of which , in the form of a fork or crown, is engaged under a flange of the valve burner and the other end, or actuation end, is intended to be actuated by the user by being pushed in.
  • the ignition mechanism is associated with means for neutralizing this mechanism constituted by a movable member between an active neutralization position, in which it prevents actuation of the lever for controlling the opening of the valve by having a part located under the rear actuating end of this lever, and an erased position, in which it allows this actuation, this member, which is manually movable, by the user, from its active neutralization position to its erased position, and which is normally maintained in the neutralization position, being further arranged to be automatically returned to the neutralization position, at the end of actuation of the ignition mechanism.
  • the movable member is constituted by a member slidably mounted laterally at the upper edge of its body, and which has a bent rear end normally located under the rear end of actuation of the control lever, this rear bent end being able to be pushed back beyond the rear actuating end of the control lever, in the neutral position of this sliding member.
  • the sliding member is normally kept in the active position by a return spring and can be moved to the neutral position by pressure exerted on its anterior end.
  • this sliding member is exposed to the risk of being damaged or altered.
  • the present invention aims to provide a gas lighter, childproof, a price much lower than that known above but which has a functional safety at least equivalent.
  • the neutralizing member of the rocking lever is constituted by a pusher. , slidably mounted against the underside of the posterior end of actuation of the control lever, the movements of which it follows, and movable between a retracted active position in which, projecting from the rear end of the control lever , a part, integral with the body of the lighter, is located just below it, making it impossible to operate the control lever in the direction of opening of the valve, and an advanced and erased position, in which the aforementioned part of the body of the lighter is no longer on the path described by the pusher when operating the control lever, in the direction of opening of the valve, making this operation possible, mo yen being provided to ensure the momentary maintenance of the pusher in the erased position before actuation of the control lever and other means being provided to ensure its return to the active neutralization position, immediately after this actuation.
  • the pusher is placed between two lateral longitudinal ribs bordering the underside of the rear end of the control lever and delimiting, under the rear end of this lever, a groove of the same width than it and ensuring its guidance, this pusher being interposed between the bottom of this groove and the upper end of the return spring of the control lever in the valve closed position, this spring ensuring its maintenance against the bottom of the groove cited above.
  • the lever return spring is helical and its upper end is engaged on a pin secured to the underside of the pusher while its lower end is engaged on a pin secured to a transverse wall of the body of the lighter.
  • the means for temporarily maintaining the pusher in the advanced and retracted position consist of a set of edges and notches provided, respectively, one at the anterior end of the bottom of the guide groove of the pusher and , the other, at the anterior end of the upper face of the pusher and located, one with respect to the other, so as to allow their mutual engagement when the pusher is moved from its active position moved back to its erased position advanced, the force of the return spring of the control lever ensuring the maintenance of this engagement, in the absence of any other force communicated to the control lever.
  • the means for automatically returning the pusher to the active neutralization position, immediately after actuation of the control lever in the direction of opening of the valve consist, on the one hand, of a rigid skirt bordering the rear end of the lower face of the pusher and intended to bear against the lower end of the return spring of the control lever engaged on its fixed guide pin, before the angular end of travel of the control lever in the direction opening of the valve, which has the effect, due to the stopping of the angular travel of the pusher, to disengage one from the other the edge and the notch which are provided with the bottom of the guide groove of the pusher and the upper face of the latter and, on the other hand, by two ramps suitably oriented to act as cams, provided, respectively, in the bottom of the guide groove of the pusher and on the upper face of the latter, behind the aforementioned ridge and notch, and intended to come into contact with one another, immediately after the disengagement of the ridge and the notch to participate, as a result of the pressure generated by the action
  • the front face of the rear, lower and rigid skirt of the pusher is profiled so as to match the curved profile of the return spring of the control lever, when the pusher occupies its advanced and retracted position.
  • this spring also has a function of recalling the pusher in the withdrawn and active position, as soon as the control lever is released.
  • the rear face of the pusher has a step, oriented downwards and intended to constitute the part of the pusher intended to come into contact with the complementary abutment face of the body of the lighter when the pusher is in the active position moved back to oppose any operation of the valve burner opening control lever.
  • the part of the body of the lighter located just below the rear end of the pusher is constituted by the upper edge of the rear wall of the body of the lighter.
  • this part of the body of the lighter is constituted by a shoulder provided, for this purpose, in the vicinity of the upper end of the internal face of the wall part of the body of the lighter located below the pusher.
  • this step may, in the case of excessive pressure exerted on the control lever, be chamfered and no longer ensure its safety role. On the contrary, its possible chamfering risks causing the untimely displacement of the pusher forwards, until in its advanced and erased position, as a result of the reaction of this chamfer against the stop belonging to the body of the lighter.
  • one of the sliding contact faces of the pusher and the rear end of the control lever has at least one projection and the other at least one recess , arranged so that each projection is engaged in the corresponding recess, in the active retracted position of the pusher.
  • the upper sliding contact face of the pusher has a longitudinal opening and the lower face of the rear end of the control lever, the face against which the pusher slides, carries a guide pin constantly engaged in this light.
  • the projection improving the holding of the pusher in the active retracted position is carried by the upper sliding contact face of the pusher and it is constituted by the two ends of a transverse rib interrupted by the longitudinal light of the pusher while the hollow is provided in the lower face of the rear end of the control lever and it is constituted by a transverse groove capable of accommodating the rib of the pusher when the latter is in the active remote neutralization position.
  • the lighter according to the invention is of the type in which the means for controlling the opening of the valve burner 2 are constituted by a rocking lever 3 articulated on a fixed axis 4 orthogonal to the axis 2 'of the valve burner 2, by means of two pins 5 which it carries laterally, in its middle part, and which are engaged in hubs 6 formed in a yoke whose wings 7 are integral with the body 8 of the lighter.
  • a crown-shaped end 3a of the rocking lever 3 is engaged under a flange 2a of the valve burner 2 so as to be able to control, by lifting the valve burner 2, the opening of the valve, when the other end or rear end d actuation 3b of the lever 3 is pushed towards the body 8 of the lighter, as illustrated by the arrow 9.
  • the means of producing sparks have not been shown. These means may simply be of the pyrophoric and rotary stone type, the wheel and its coaches can be mounted on an axis 12, parallel to the axis 4 of the rocking lever 3 and carried above it by the wings 7 of the same yoke, so that at the end of actuation of the wheel, the user's thumb falls on the actuating end 3b of the lever 3, causing, immediately after the production of sparks, the opening of the valve burner 2 and the ignition of the flame.
  • the means for neutralizing the ignition mechanism are arranged to oppose the actuation of the rocking lever 3 in the direction of the arrow 9.
  • These means of neutralization consist of a pusher 13 mounted to slide, according to the direction of the arrows 14 and 15 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lever 3, against the underside of the rear end 3b of the latter.
  • the pusher 13 is mounted between two lateral longitudinal ribs 3c bordering the underside of the rear end 3b of the control lever 3 and delimiting, under this rear end, a 3d groove of the same width as the pusher 13 and ensuring its guidance during its movements in the direction of arrows 14 and 15.
  • the lower end of the return spring 11 of the control lever 3 in the normal rest position is engaged on a vertical pin 16 secured to a transverse partition 8a of the body 8 of the lighter while the upper end of this spring 11 is engaged on a vertical pin 17 carried by the underside of the pusher 13.
  • the elasticity and flexibility of the spring 11 is not opposed to the movement of the pusher 13 in the direction of the arrows 14 and 15 but, on the other hand, it ensures its application against the 3d groove which serves as a guide.
  • the pusher 13 In the normal rest position, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the pusher 13 is in the retracted position, position in which a shoulder 13a, turned towards the bottom, formed in its rear face, bears against the upper edge 8b of the rear part of the wall of the body 8.
  • the pusher 13 which is interposed, practically without play, between the aforementioned edge 8b of the wall of the body 8 and the underside of the rear end 3b of the lever 3 is opposed to any displacement of this rear end 3b in the direction of the arrow 9, that is to say in the direction corresponding to the opening of the valve burner 2 and, consequently, of the ignition of the lighter.
  • the bottom of the 3d groove arranged in the lower face of the rear end 3b of the lever 3 has, near its front end, an edge 18 normally located in front from the front end of the pusher 13 and on the other hand, the upper face of the latter has, in the vicinity of its front end, a notch 19 intended to be engaged on the aforementioned edge 18 when the pusher 13 is moved into position advanced, that is to say in the direction of arrow 14.
  • This advanced and erased position of the pusher 13 is shown in Figure 4.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 differs from the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 only in that the lower shoulder 13a of the pusher 13 is intended to bear, in the neutralization position of the control lever 3, not on the upper edge 8b of the rear wall of the body 8 of the lighter, but on an inner shoulder 8c arranged, for this purpose, against the internal face of this rear wall part of the body 8 of the lighter.
  • Figures 9 to 11 are figures similar to Figures respectively 1, 4 and 5 showing a shape improved execution of the lighter illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5.
  • FIGS. 9 to 11 the same references designate the same parts or parts of parts as in FIGS. 1 to 5.
  • the abutment face belonging to the body 8 of the lighter is constituted by a part 8b situated under the rear end 3b of the control lever 3, on the upper edge of the body 8 of the lighter.
  • the corresponding bearing face of the pusher 13 intended to prevent the operation of the control lever 3 in the direction of the arrow 9, when the pusher 13 is in the active reverse position for neutralization, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 9, is made up by a step 13a arranged on the rear face of the rigid rear skirt 13b of the pusher 13.
  • the upper sliding contact face of the pusher 13, that is to say the face in which the groove 19 is temporarily stopped. in the advanced and inactive position carries a transverse rib 23.
  • the underside of the rear end 3b of the control lever 3, the face against which the plunger 13 slides has a transverse groove 24 capable of accommodating the rib 23 when the pusher is in the retracted active neutralization position, as illustrated in FIG. 9.
  • the groove 24 on the lower face of the rear end 3b of the control lever 3 and the rib 23 on the upper sliding contact face of the pusher 13 are arranged so as to be engaged one inside the other when the pusher 13 is in the retracted active neutralization position, that is to say in the position illustrated in FIG. 9.
  • the underside of the rear end 3b of the control lever 3 carries a guide pin 25 intended to be constantly engaged in a longitudinal slot 26 formed in the upper sliding contact face of the pusher 13.
  • the engagement of the stud 25 in the slot 26 has the effect of improving the guiding of the pusher 13 during its two movements in the direction of the arrow 14 or in that of the arrow 15.
  • the rib 23 is interrupted by light 26 without interfering with its function.
  • the front face 13'b of the rigid rear and lower skirt 13b of the pusher 13 is shaped so as to be able to match the curved profile of the return spring 11 of the control lever 3 when the pusher 13 is moved to the advanced position and erased, as illustrated in FIG. 10. Indeed, if, in this position of the pusher 13, the front face 13'b of its rear skirt 13b matches the spring 11, the lever tilting control 3 in its open position of the valve burner 2, as illustrated in FIG. 11, causes a deformation of the spring 11 which, by this fact, participates in the return of the pusher 13 in the backward active neutralization position, as soon as the lever is released 3 by the user.
