Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas lighter comprising a system safety ignition.
  • a gas lighter generally includes a tank intended to contain a gas of liquefied petroleum, a valve mounted on the tank allowing gas to exit the tank, a system for opening and closing the gas flow controlled by a lever, a gas flow regulation system and an ignition system.
  • the latter comprises a stone cooperating with a wheel and, most often a protective cover.
  • the wheel is mounted on an axis between two coaches.
  • the wheel is cylindrical and the coaches have the shape a disc with a diameter appreciably greater than that of the wheel.
  • the tranche of coaches have roughness making it rough. So a user can easily drive the dial with a finger, because the finger does not slide on the coaches.
  • the lighters described in these documents have, compared to a lighter of prior art, an additional device making access to the coaches of the wheel more difficult or blocking the movement of the gas opening lever.
  • these lighters have a complex structure resulting in a cost of high manufacturing.
  • the use of these lighters is complicated and requires a manual. Even adults may find it difficult to use such lighters and need prior learning.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a lighter that can be easily used by an adult, but difficult for a child to use, especially a child under the age of five years, which presents few modifications compared to a lighter of the aforementioned type.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a reliable security system, inviolable and constantly in action, without prior intervention.
  • Another objective is to have a lighter operation as close as possible operation of a lighter of the aforementioned type, so that the user does not need either instructions or prior learning to use the lighter.
  • a gas lighter which cannot be used by a child with a tank intended to contain petroleum gas liquefied, a valve (2) mounted on the tank and allowing gas to exit the tank, a gas flow opening and closing system (3, 4), and a system ignition having a stone (5) cooperating with a wheel (6), driven in rotation by at least one disc-shaped driver (9) mounted coaxially with the thumbwheel (6), characterized in that the peripheral surface of each driver (9) is smooth.
  • the wheel is a wheel of cylindrical shape mounted on an axis between two coaches in general disc shape of diameter substantially greater than the diameter of the wheel.
  • each coach is a disc circular.
  • each coach is in the general form of disc, whose peripheral surface has undulations. This profile of coaches promotes their actuation, without however allowing their operation by a young child.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 we recognize a gas lighter having, so known, a body 1 acting as a reservoir and intended to contain petroleum gas liquefied.
  • the tank On its upper part, the tank is fitted with a valve 2 allowing gas escape when valve 2 is in the open position.
  • a lever 3 controls the opening and closing of the valve 2.
  • a spring 4 acts on the lever 3, so that that in the rest position, the valve 2 is closed.
  • the part of lever 3 located opposite valve 2 is actuated by a user, when the user wants gas escapes from the tank, to feed a flame for example.
  • the lighter also has an ignition system to ignite the gas exiting through valve 2.
  • This system includes a lighter stone 5 and a thumb wheel 6. The latter is mounted on an axis 7 and can rotate around it. She is from cylindrical shape and its peripheral surface is knurled.
  • the lighter stone 5 bears radially on the wheel 6.
  • a spring 8 la keep in support. Thus, when the wheel 6 rotates about its axis 7, sparks are produced. These can ignite gas escaping through valve 2.
  • two coaches 9 are mounted on either side of the wheel 6. These coaches 9 may form a single piece with the wheel 6, or it may be separate parts made integral with the wheel 6.
  • These coaches 9 are circular discs, the peripheral surface of which forming the slice is smooth. So the coefficient of friction between a user's finger and these coaches 9 is relatively small.
  • the user places a finger 10 on the coaches 9, on the side opposite the stone 5. He presses on these coaches 9 with a force with a high radial component.
  • the finger 10 In order to continue training in rotation, the finger 10 must continue to exert a force having a component high radial and at the same time follow the movement of the coaches 9. The finger 10 continues its course until it comes into contact with lever 3. Compared to an art lighter prior to rough coaches, the user's finger must accompany the rotation of the wheel on a relatively high angle of rotation. The wheel grip is voluntarily accentuated in terms of angle of rotation.
  • the surface of the coach (s) is smooth, but it is not necessarily circular. Ripples could be provided on the side of the coaches.
