Definitions

  • This invention relates to an adapter for a lighter, which may convert a lighter into a child-resistant lighter, and a lighter incorporating such an adapter.
  • an adapter for a lighter with an actuator and a body said adapter including at least first and second body members engageable with each other for substantially enclosing said lighter while exposing at least part of a first end of said lighter at which a flame is adapted to be produced, wherein when said body members are engaged with each other and enclosing said lighter, said body members are movable relative to each other to move said actuator of said lighter relative to said body of said lighter to produce a flame.
  • a lighter with an actuator, a body, and an adapter
  • said adapter includes at least first and second body members engageable with each other and substantially enclosing said lighter while exposing at least part of a first end of said lighter at which a flame is adapted to be produced, wherein said body members are movable relative to each other to move said actuator relative to said body of said lighter to produce a flame.
  • the lighter assembly 100 includes a lighter 102, two plastics casing halves 104a, 104b, and a clip 106.
  • the lighter 102 is a conventional lighter with a body 108 for containing fuel under pressure.
  • a flame is produced when a button 110 is pressed to move in the direction indicated by the arrow M, which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lighter 102, relative to the body 108 of the lighter 102.
  • the casing half 104a On the lateral edges of the casing half 104a are two narrow protruding rims 112 (of which only one is shown in Fig. 1), which co-operate with two troughs 114 (of which, again, only one is shown in Fig. 1) along two lateral edges of the casing half 104b, to allow the casing halves 104a, 104b to slide relative to each other when they are engaged with each other.
  • the protruding rims 112 are received in the respective trough 114 for relative sliding movement.
  • the rim 112 is shorter than the trough 114, at least by the distance required to be travelled by the button 110 for producing a flame.
  • two elongate smooth pieces 118 are fixed to respective correspondingly shaped and sized parallel recesses 120 (of which only one is shown in Fig. 1) in the inner surface 116.
  • the clip 106 has two oppositely spaced ledges 122 (of which only one is shown in Fig. 1) received within a rectangular aperture 124 of the casing half 104b, for fixing the clip 106 to the casing half 104b.
  • the clip 106 also has two hooks 126 (of which only one is shown in Fig. 1) which, when the casing halves 104a, 104b are engaged with each other, are received within a respective channel 128 on an outer surface 130 of the casing half 104a, thus effecting engagement between said casing halves 104a, 104b, while allowing relative lengthwise sliding movement between the casing halves 104a and 104b.
  • a corrugated finger pad 132 is provided on the outer surface 130 of the casing half 104a, for frictional engagement with the user's finger, e.g. thumb.
  • the casing half 104a has a bent lower end 136 which, when the lighter assembly 100 is properly assembled, constitutes a stopper that acts on a lower end of the body 108 of the lighter 102.
  • the casing half 104b also has a bent upper end 138 which, when the lighter assembly 100 is properly assembled, constitutes a stopper that acts on an upper surface of the button 110 of the lighter 102.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 it can be seen that when the casing halves 104a, 104b and the lighter 102 are assembled to form the lighter assembly 100, most of the lighter 102 is enclosed by the casing halves 104a, 104b, except that an end 134 of the lighter 102 at which a flame is produced is exposed to the outside environment.
  • a lighter assembly incorporated with an adapter according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, and generally designated as 200.
  • the lighter assembly 200 includes a lighter 202, two casing halves 204a, 204b, and an engagement member in the form of a closed loop 206.
  • the lighter 202 is a conventional lighter with a body 208 for containing fuel under pressure. A flame is produced when a button 210 is pressed to move downwardly relative to the body 208 of the lighter 202, and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lighter 202.
  • a number of short protrusions 212 for enhancing frictional engagement of a user's finger with the casing half 204a.
  • an outer surface 214 of the casing half 204b is corrugated, again for enhancing frictional engagement of a user's finger with the casing half 204b.
  • Figs. 7 to 9 also show the way in which the lighter assembly 200 is assembled.
  • the lighter 202 is firstly placed in the cavity of the casing half 204b, as shown in Fig. 7.
  • the casing half 204a is then engaged with the casing half 204b, as shown in Fig. 8.
  • the engagement loop 206 is then placed over the engaged casing halves 204a, 204b until the engagement loop 206 is engaged with the casing half 204b, as shown in Fig. 9, in a manner to be discussed below.
  • Figs. 10 to 14A show various views of the casing halves 204a, 204b and engagement loop 206 as engaged with one another, in the absence of the lighter 202, for clarity purpose.
  • Fig. 12 when the engagement loop 206 is engaged with the casing halves 204a, 204b, a protrusion 218 of a lip portion 220 of the engagement loop 206 is received within a hole 222 of the casing half 204b.
  • Figs. 13 and 13A show the dovetail engagement between the engagement loop 206 and the casing half 204b.
  • Figs. 14 and 14A show the engagement between the casing halves 204a, 204b, which allow the casing halves 204a, 204b to exhibit relative sliding movement.
  • a lighter assembly incorporated with an adapter according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. 15 and 18, and generally designated as 300.
  • the lighter assembly 300 includes a lighter 302, two casing halves 304a, 304b, and two engagement members, each in the form of a closed loop 306.
  • the lighter 302 is a conventional lighter with a body 308 for containing fuel under pressure.
  • a flame is produced when a button 310 is pressed to move downwardly relative to the body 308 of the lighter 302, and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lighter 302.
  • Figs. 19 to 21A show various views of the casing halves 304a, 304b and the loops 306 as engaged with one another, in the absence of the lighter 302, for clarity purpose.
  • each of the loops 306 has two protrusions 316, each to be received within one of the hole 312 on the casing half 304b, for engaging the casing halves 304a, 304b.
  • the lighter assemblies 100, 200 and 300 are thus effectively child-resistant lighters at least hindering unwanted operation by small children.
  • the casing halves 104a and 104b, 204a and 204b, and 304a and 304b also respectively collectively act as adapters suitable for converting an otherwise non-child-resistant lighter into a child-resistant lighter.
