Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Feuerzeuge, insbesondere mehrflammige Feuerzeuge mit Jetflamme.The present invention relates to lighters, in particular multi-flame lighters Jetflame.
Mehrflammige Feuerzeuge mit Jetflamme sind im Stand der Technik bekannt, insbesondere zweiflammige Feuerzeuge. Im Stand der Technik sind beispielsweise Feuerzeuge mit zwei parallel angeordneten Jet-Flammen bekannt, um beispielsweise breite Zigarren anzuzünden. Im Stand der Technik sind Feuerzeuge mit Jetflammen-Düsen bekannt, bei denen ein reines Brenngas aus einer oder mehreren Öffnungen ausströmt und mit der umgebenden Luft verbrennt. Im Stand der Technik sind ebenfalls Feuerzeuge bekannt, bei denen die Flammendüse als eine Brennerdüse ausgeführt ist, bei der ein Brenngas mit Luft gemischt wird, bevor das Gemisch entzündet wird. Derartige Brennerdüsen-Feuerzeuge sind als Jetflamm-Feuerzeuge bekannt. Im Stand der Technik sind ebenfalls zweiflammige Feuerzeuge mit einer Flammendüse und einer Brennerdüse bekannt.Multi-flame lighters with jet flame are known in the prior art, in particular two flame lighters. The prior art includes lighters with two parallel jet flames are known, for example to light wide cigars. In the prior art, lighters with jet flame nozzles are known, in which a pure Fuel gas flows out of one or more openings and with the surrounding air burns. Lighters are also known in the prior art, in which the Flame nozzle is designed as a burner nozzle in which a fuel gas is mixed with air before the mixture is ignited. Such burner nozzle lighters are as Jet flame lighters known. In the prior art there are also two lamps Lighters with a flame nozzle and a burner nozzle are known.
Alle bisherigen Feuerzeuge haben den Nachteil, dass sie nur wenige leistungsschwache Düsen zur Verfügung stellen, die keine ultraheißen Jetflammen liefern. Es ist daher möglich, dass die Zeit bis zur wirksamen Entzündung beispielsweise einer Zigarette zu lange dauert.All previous lighters have the disadvantage that they are only a few poorly performing Provide nozzles that do not deliver ultra-hot jet flames. It is therefore possible that it takes too long to effectively ignite a cigarette, for example.
Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Feuerzeug bereitzustellen, das durch eine erfindungsgemäße Anordnung von mehreren Jetflammen-Düsen zuverlässig sehr heiße Jetflammen zur Verfügung stellt.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a lighter that due to an arrangement according to the invention of several jet flame nozzles very reliably provides hot jet flames.
Das erfindungsgemäße Feuerzeug weist mindestens drei in einem Kopf angeordnete Jetflammen-Düsen auf. Das erfindungsgemäße Feuerzeug ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Jetflammen-Düsen so angeordnet sind, dass die Achsen der Jetflammen-Düsen sich zumindest abschnittsweise annähern. Damit kann erreicht werden, dass wenn eine Flamme in einer der Düsen erlischt, sie durch die eine oder die beiden anderen Düsen wieder entzündet wird. Ferner wird die Temperatur der Flammen im Näherungsbereich besonders hoch.The lighter according to the invention has at least three arranged in a head Jet flame nozzles open. The lighter according to the invention is characterized in that the jet flame nozzles are arranged so that the axes of the jet flame nozzles are aligned approximate at least in sections. It can be achieved that if a flame in one of the nozzles goes out, ignites them again through one or the other two nozzles becomes. Furthermore, the temperature of the flames in the proximity area becomes particularly high.
Bevorzugt nähert sich zumindest die Achse von einer der mindestens drei Jetflammen-Düsen jeweils mindestens den Achsen zweier anderer Jetflammen-Düsen zumindest abschnittsweise an. Damit wird erreicht, dass jede der erzeugten Flammen sich dem Bereich von mindestens zwei anderen Flammen annähert, die im Fall des Erlöschens einer Flamme diese sicher wieder entzünden können.At least the axis of one of the at least three jet flame nozzles preferably approaches at least in sections at least the axes of two other jet flame nozzles on. This ensures that each of the flames generated is at least in the range approximates two other flames, which in the event of extinguishing a flame will surely extinguish it can ignite again.
Das erfindungsgemäße Feuerzeug weist mindestens drei Jetflammen-Düsen auf, deren Jet-Flammen sich im Betrieb jeweils paarweise einander nähern und sich bevorzugt schneiden. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass selbst, wenn ein Wassertropfen eine der Flammen löscht, die entsprechende Düse durch den Gasstrom und die Hitze der beiden anderen Flammen schnell trocknet und wieder arbeiten kann. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung der Flammen bzw. Brennerdüsen trifft der Gasstrom auf mindestens zwei angrenzende Flammen, die den Gasstrom sofort wieder entzünden. Die Flammen konvergieren bevorzugt in einem gemeinsamen Bereich.The lighter according to the invention has at least three jet flame nozzles, their jet flames approach each other in pairs in operation and prefer to intersect. This can ensure that even if a drop of water hits one of the flames extinguishes the corresponding nozzle by the gas flow and the heat of the other two Flames dry quickly and can work again. By the invention If the flames or burner nozzles are arranged, the gas flow meets at least two adjacent flames that ignite the gas flow immediately. The flames prefer to converge in a common area.
Die Achsen von mindestens drei der Flammen- oder Brennerdüsen liegen bevorzugt im
wesentlichen in einer Kegeloberfläche. Die Jetflammen-Düsen können dabei auf einer Höhe
in der Kegeloberfläche liegen, um sicherzustellen, dass keine der Flammen die anderen zu
sehr überragt.
Die Achsen der Brennerdüsen können im wesentlichen in einem einzigen Punkt
zusammenlaufen, in dem die mindestens drei Flammen sich berühren oder zu einer einzelnen
verschmelzen können. Bei der Verwendung von drei Jetflammen-Düsen liegen die drei
Jetflammen-Düsen im Wesentlichen auf den Kanten einer dreiseitigen Pyramide und weisen
gemeinsam auf die Spitze der Pyramide, an der sich im Betrieb die drei Flammen zu einer
einzigen vereinigen.The axes of at least three of the flame or burner nozzles preferably lie essentially in a cone surface. The jet flame nozzles can be at a height in the cone surface to ensure that none of the flames overhangs the others.
The axes of the burner nozzles can essentially converge at a single point in which the at least three flames can touch or merge into a single one. When using three jet flame nozzles, the three jet flame nozzles essentially lie on the edges of a three-sided pyramid and point jointly to the top of the pyramid, at which the three flames unite into a single one during operation.
Die Jetflammen-Düsen können um eine Achse drehsymmetrisch angeordnet sein. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die gemeinsame Flamme eine symmetrische Form annimmt. Eine derartige dreiflammige Ausführungsform, bei der die drei Jetflammen-Düsen drehsymmetrisch auf einer Kegeloberfläche angeordnet sind und bei der die drei Flammen in einem Punkt zusammenlaufen, ist beispielsweise in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt. In dem Kreuzungspunkt werden besonders hohe Temperaturen erzielt. Die Jetflammen-Düsen können auch auf einem Halbkegel angeordnet sein, um beispielsweise eine gleiche Grundform für eine drei- oder vierflammige Ausführungsform ohne zusätzlichen Konstruktions- oder Werkzeugaufwand bereitzustellen.The jet flame nozzles can be arranged rotationally symmetrically about an axis. Thereby it is achieved that the common flame assumes a symmetrical shape. A such a three-flame embodiment in which the three jet flame nozzles are arranged rotationally symmetrically on a cone surface and in which the three flames in a point converge is shown for example in Figures 1 and 2. By doing Particularly high temperatures are reached at the crossing point. The jet flame nozzles can also be arranged on a semi-cone, for example the same Basic shape for a three- or four-flame embodiment without additional To provide design or tooling expenses.
Die Achsen der mindestens drei Jetflammen-Düsen können eine gemeinsame Kegeloberfläche auf einer gleichen Höhe der Kegeloberfläche berühren und mit der Kegelachse im Wesentlichen einen gemeinsamen Winkel bilden. Bei dieser Ausführungsform treffen sich die Achsen der mindestens drei Jetflammen-Düsen nicht in einem einzelnen Punkt, sondern liegen windschief zueinander. Bei einer drehsymmetrischen Anordnung verschmilzt die Spitze einer Flamme mit der Basis einer benachbarten der anderen Flamme. Aus der Anordnung der zusammenlaufenden Flammen ergibt sich eine gemeinsame Flamme, die durch die Schrägstellung der Jetflammen-Düsen zu einer Rotation der gemeinsamen Flamme führt. Eine Aufsicht auf eine derartige, dreiflammige Jetflammen-Düsen-Anordnung ist in Figur 3 dargestellt.The axes of the at least three jet flame nozzles can have a common one Touch the cone surface at the same height as the cone surface and use the Cone axis essentially form a common angle. At this In the embodiment, the axes of the at least three jet flame nozzles do not meet a single point, but are skewed to each other. With a rotationally symmetrical The arrangement fuses the tip of a flame with the base of an adjacent one other flame. One results from the arrangement of the converging flames common flame caused by the inclination of the jet flame nozzles to rotate of the common flame. A supervision of such a three-flame jet flame nozzle arrangement is shown in Figure 3.
Bevorzugt werden die mindestens drei Jetflammen-Düsen in einem einzelnen integral ausgeführten Jetflammen-Düsen-Block zusammengefasst. Damit kann die Anzahl der Bauteile in dem Feuerzeug verringert werden, was die Herstellungskosten senkt.The at least three jet flame nozzles are preferably integral in a single one executed jet flame nozzle block summarized. This allows the number of Components in the lighter are reduced, which lowers manufacturing costs.
Bevorzugt weist das Feuerzeug weiterhin ein Steuerventil auf, mit dem einzelne oder Gruppen von Jetflammen-Düsen betätigt werden können. Ein Steuerventil zum Steuern einzelner Jetflammen-Düsen kann dazu beitragen, den Gasverbrauch des brennenden Feuerzeuges bei Windstille zu verringern und damit die Benutzungs- bzw. Brenndauer des Feuerzeuges zu erhöhen.The lighter preferably also has a control valve with which individual or Groups of jet flame nozzles can be operated. A control valve for control Individual jet flame nozzles can help reduce the gas consumption of the burning Lighter when there is no wind and thus reduce the use or burning time of the Increase lighter.
Mindestens drei der Jetflammen-Düsen können als Brennerdüsen ausgeführt werden. Brennerdüsen haben im Vergleich zu Jetflammen-Düsen den Nachteil des höheren Gasverbrauches. Durch eine entsprechende Auswahl der Brennerdüsen beispielsweise in Kombination mit einer zusätzlichen Flammendüse kann ein voteilhaftes Feuerzeug verwirklicht werden. Die Flammendüse kann beispielsweise in der Mitte der Brennerdüsen angeordnet sein und durch das Öffnen eines Deckels aktiviert werden. Bei Betätigung eines Zündschiebers werden die drei Brennerdüsen gezündet, und erlöschen, wenn der Zündschieber wieder losgelassen wird, während eine Zündflamme weiter brennt, solange der Deckel des Feuerzeuges geöffnet bleibt. Die Zündflamme wird beim Schießen des Deckels durch eine Sperrung der Gaszufuhr gelöscht.At least three of the jet flame nozzles can be designed as burner nozzles. Burner nozzles have the disadvantage of the higher compared to jet flame nozzles Gas consumption. By selecting the burner nozzles accordingly, for example in Combination with an additional flame nozzle can be an excellent lighter be realized. The flame nozzle can, for example, in the middle of the burner nozzles be arranged and activated by opening a lid. When pressing a The three burner nozzles are ignited and go out when the Ignition slide is released again, while a pilot flame continues to burn as long as the The lid of the lighter remains open. The pilot light comes on when the lid is fired extinguished by blocking the gas supply.
