Description

DISPOSITIF PORTATIF DE TYPE BRIQUET PORTABLE LIGHTER TYPE DEVICE
DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA
L'invention se rapporte au domaine des dispositifs portatifs de type briquet permettant notamment à un fumeur d'allumer une cigarette. Elle vise plus particulièrement un moyen permettant à l'utilisateur de stocker et de transporter un mégot une fois la cigarette consumée.The invention relates to the field of portable devices lighter type allowing a smoker to light a cigarette. It is more particularly a means for the user to store and transport a butt once the cigarette consumed.
TECHNIQUES ANTÉRIEURES On connaît de nombreux exemples de dispositifs portatifs de type briquet qui peuvent présenter différents accessoires, et notamment un compartiment pour le stockage de cendres et d'un mégot de cigarette.PRIOR ART Numerous examples of portable lighter-type devices which may have various accessories, and in particular a compartment for storing ash and a cigarette butt, are known.
Cependant, ce type de dispositif est complexe à nettoyer et ne permet pas de procéder au remplacement du compartiment destiné à stocker les cendres ou le mégot.However, this type of device is complex to clean and does not allow to replace the compartment for storing ash or butt.
Ainsi, le but de l'invention est de proposer un briquet équipé d'un compartiment pour le stockage des cendres ou d'un mégot de cigarette, qui soit à la fois facilement nettoyable et interchangeable si nécessaire.Thus, the object of the invention is to propose a lighter equipped with a compartment for storing ashes or a cigarette butt, which is both easily cleanable and interchangeable if necessary.
EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
L'invention concerne donc un dispositif portatif de type briquet comportant un corps longiligne présentant, au niveau d'une première extrémité, un organe d'allumage apte à générer une flamme.The invention therefore relates to a portable lighter type device comprising an elongate body having, at a first end, an ignition member adapted to generate a flame.
Selon l'invention, il se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte, au niveau d'une seconde extrémité, un boitier amovible par rapport au corps du briquet, ledit boitier comportant un orifice destiné à permettre l'introduction et le stockage à l'intérieur du volume formé par ledit boitier d'au moins un mégot de cigarette.According to the invention, it is characterized in that it comprises, at a second end, a removable housing relative to the body of the lighter, said housing having an orifice intended to allow the introduction and storage to the inside the volume formed by said housing of at least one cigarette butt.
Autrement dit, lorsque l'utilisateur a fumé sa cigarette, il peut désolidariser le boitier amovible du corps du briquet, positionner son mégot de cigarette à l'intérieur du volume formé par le briquet et peut alors solidariser à nouveau ensemble le corps du briquet et le boitier amovible de manière à transporter son mégot jusqu'à une poubelle.In other words, when the user has smoked his cigarette, he can separate the removable case from the body of the lighter, position his cigarette butt inside the volume formed by the lighter and can then together again the body of the lighter and the removable housing so as to carry its butt to a trash.
Dans d'autres cas de figures, la mise en place du mégot peut se faire sans désolidariser le boitier amovible du corps de briquet. L'accouplement réversible sert alors uniquement pour procéder au nettoyage ou au remplacement du boitier.In other cases, the implementation of the butt can be done without detaching the removable housing lighter body. The reversible coupling is then used only for cleaning or replacing the housing.
Le boitier amovible et le corps peuvent être assemblés l'un par rapport à l'autre selon une multitude de liaisons mécaniques. En effet, selon un premier mode de réalisation, le boitier amovible peut être assujetti en liaison pivot par rapport au corps du briquet autour d'un axe de rotation normal à un axe longitudinal du briquet.The removable housing and the body can be assembled relative to each other in a multitude of mechanical connections. Indeed, according to a first embodiment, the removable housing can be secured in pivot connection relative to the body of the lighter about an axis of rotation normal to a longitudinal axis of the lighter.
De cette manière, le boitier amovible peut pivoter autour de l'axe de rotation et basculer de façon à rendre l'orifice accessible pour permettre l'introduction d'un mégot dans le boitier amovible.In this way, the removable housing can pivot about the axis of rotation and tilt so as to make the orifice accessible to allow the introduction of a butt into the removable housing.
Avantageusement, le dispositif peut comporter une molette solidaire du corps du briquet apte à entraîner en rotation le boitier amovible autour de son axe. Ainsi, l'actionnement de la molette permet de faire pivoter le boitier mobile pour positionner l'ouverture de manière accessible. La transmission du mouvement de rotation peut s'effectuer au moyen d'une couronne dentée solidaire de la molette et d'un secteur denté solidaire du boitier amovible.Advantageously, the device may comprise a wheel secured to the body of the lighter adapted to rotate the removable housing about its axis. Thus, the actuation of the wheel makes it possible to pivot the mobile housing to position the opening in an accessible manner. The transmission of the rotational movement can be effected by means of a ring gear integral with the wheel and a toothed sector integral with the removable housing.
Selon un second mode de réalisation, le boitier amovible peut être assujetti en liaison glissière par rapport au corps du briquet et se déplacer en translation selon une direction normale à un axe longitudinal du briquet.According to a second embodiment, the removable housing can be secured in sliding connection relative to the body of the lighter and move in translation in a direction normal to a longitudinal axis of the lighter.
Autrement dit, le corps amovible peut coulisser selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du briquet. Une telle liaison glissière peut notamment être réalisée par un système de gorge et d'excroissance complémentaires, telle une liaison en queue d'aronde. Selon un troisième mode de réalisation, le boitier amovible peut être assujetti en liaison hélicoïdale par rapport au corps du briquet dans une direction parallèle à un axe longitudinal du briquet.In other words, the removable body can slide in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the lighter. Such a slide connection may in particular be achieved by a complementary throat and outgrowth system, such as a dovetail connection. According to a third embodiment, the removable housing can be secured in helical connection relative to the body of the lighter in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the lighter.
Dans ce cas, le boitier amovible est vissé sur le corps du briquet. Ainsi, chacun des éléments présente un filetage ou un taraudage de pas et de forme complémentaire.In this case, the removable housing is screwed onto the body of the lighter. Thus, each of the elements has a thread or tapping step and complementary shape.
Selon un quatrième mode de réalisation, le boitier amovible peut être assujetti en liaison pivot glissant par rapport au corps du briquet dans une direction parallèle à un axe longitudinal du briquet.According to a fourth embodiment, the removable housing can be secured in sliding pivot connection relative to the body of the lighter in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the lighter.
En d'autres termes, le boitier amovible est assemblé avec le corps en effectuant un mouvement de translation selon l'axe longitudinal du corps de briquet. Cette liaison permet également de réaliser une rotation autour de cet axe longitudinal pour notamment actionner un moyen anti-retour empêchant la translation en sens inverse et la désolidarisation accidentelle du boitier amovible avec le corps du briquet.In other words, the removable housing is assembled with the body by performing a translational movement along the longitudinal axis of the lighter body. This connection also makes it possible to rotate about this longitudinal axis, in particular to actuate a non-return means preventing the translation in the opposite direction and the accidental disconnection of the removable housing with the body of the lighter.
En effet, le boitier amovible peut comporter des moyens d'encliquetage coopérant avec des moyens complémentaires anti-retour agencés sur le corps du briquet. Ainsi, une fois l'opération d'encliquetage réalisée, le boitier amovible est solidaire du corps du briquet et la translation en sens inverse ne peut s'opérer sans l'intervention d'une personne en exerçant un effort de traction sur le briquet.Indeed, the removable housing may include latching means cooperating with complementary non-return means arranged on the body of the lighter. Thus, once the latching operation performed, the removable housing is integral with the body of the lighter and the translation in the opposite direction can not take place without the intervention of a person by exerting a tensile force on the lighter.
En pratique, le boitier amovible peut comporter un clapet de fermeture de l'orifice. Un tel clapet permet donc d'empêcher la sortie du mégot ou des cendres du boitier amovible. Cet agencement est notamment utile dans le cas où l'orifice est orienté de façon opposée à la seconde extrémité du corps de briquet.In practice, the removable housing may include a closure valve of the orifice. Such a valve thus makes it possible to prevent the exit of the butt or the ashes of the removable case. This arrangement is particularly useful in the case where the orifice is oriented opposite to the second end of the lighter body.
De même que précédemment, le clapet de fermeture peut être assujetti selon différentes liaisons mécaniques avec le boitier amovible. Ainsi, selon une première variante, le clapet peut être assujetti en liaison glissière par rapport au boitier amovible et se déplacer en translation selon une direction normale à un axe longitudinal du briquet.As before, the closure valve can be secured in different mechanical connections with the removable housing. Thus, according to a first variant, the valve can be secured in sliding connection relative to the removable housing and move in translation in a direction normal to a longitudinal axis of the lighter.
Autrement dit, le clapet peut coulisser à l'intérieur d'une gorge de forme complémentaire de façon à permettre l'ouverture ou la fermeture de l'orifice.In other words, the valve can slide inside a groove of complementary shape to allow the opening or closing of the orifice.
Selon une seconde variante, le clapet peut être assujetti en liaison pivot par rapport au boitier amovible autour d'un axe de rotation normal à un axe longitudinal du briquet. De cette manière, le clapet pivote en se soulevant par rapport au plan défini par l'orifice autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du briquet.In a second variant, the valve may be secured in pivot connection relative to the removable housing about an axis of rotation normal to a longitudinal axis of the lighter. In this way, the valve pivots by lifting relative to the plane defined by the orifice about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the lighter.
Selon une troisième variante, le clapet peut être assujetti en liaison pivot par rapport au boitier amovible autour d'un axe parallèle à un axe longitudinal du briquet. Dans ce cas, le clapet pivote dans le plan défini par l'orifice à refermer.According to a third variant, the valve may be secured in pivot connection relative to the removable housing about an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the lighter. In this case, the valve pivots in the plane defined by the orifice to be closed.
DESCRIPTION SOMMAIRE DES FIGURESSUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
La manière de réaliser l'invention ainsi que les avantages qui en découlent ressortiront bien du mode de réalisation qui suit donné à titre indicatif mais non limitatif, à l'appui des figures annexées dans lesquelles :The manner of carrying out the invention as well as the advantages resulting therefrom will emerge clearly from the following embodiment given by way of non-limiting indication, in support of the appended figures in which:
Les figures 1 à 11 représentent des vues en perspective de différentes variantes d'un dispositif portatif de type briquet conforme à l'invention.Figures 1 to 11 show perspective views of different variants of a portable device lighter type according to the invention.
MODES DE RÉALISATION DE L 'INVENTIONMODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Comme déjà évoqué, l'invention concerne un dispositif portatif de type briquet. Tel que représenté à la figure 1, un tel briquet 1 comporte un corps longiligne 2. Au niveau d'une première extrémité 3 est agencé un organe d'allumage 4 apte à générer une flamme, tandis qu'au niveau d'une seconde extrémité 5 est agencé un boitier amovible 6 ici représenté en positon désaccouplée du corps 2 du briquet. Dans cette première variante, le boitier amovible 6 est assujetti en liaison pivot glissant par rapport au corps longiligne 2. Par ailleurs, des moyens d'encliquetage 10 peuvent coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires 11 de façon à empêcher une ouverture accidentelle du boîtier amovible 6.As already mentioned, the invention relates to a portable device lighter type. As shown in FIG. 1, such a lighter 1 comprises an elongate body 2. At the level of a first end 3 is arranged an ignition member 4 capable of generating a flame, whereas at the level of a second end 5 is arranged a removable housing 6 here shown uncoupled positon of the body 2 of the lighter. In this first variant, the removable housing 6 is secured in sliding pivot connection relative to the elongate body 2. Moreover, latching means 10 can cooperate with complementary means 11 so as to prevent accidental opening of the removable housing 6.
Tel que représenté à la figure 2, un tel boitier amovible 6 comporte un orifice 7 destiné à permettre l'introduction, le stockage et le transport d'un mégot de cigarette 8.As shown in FIG. 2, such a removable housing 6 comprises an orifice 7 intended to allow the introduction, storage and transport of a cigarette butt 8.
Tel que représenté à la figure 3, on accouple le boitier amovible 6 avec le corps 2 du briquet au niveau de la seconde extrémité 5 par les moyens d'encliquetage. L'utilisateur peut alors ranger son briquet dans sa poche sans craindre la sortie accidentelle du mégot contenu dans le boitier amovible 6.As shown in Figure 3, is coupled the removable housing 6 with the body 2 of the lighter at the second end 5 by the latching means. The user can then store his lighter in his pocket without fearing the accidental exit of the butt contained in the removable housing 6.
Tel que représenté à la figure 4, cette solidarisation entre le boitier amovible 16 et le corps 12 peut également être réalisée par une liaison hélicoïdale. Pour ce faire, on procède au vissage ou au dévissage du boîtier amovible 16 qui est, dans cette variante, muni d'un taraudage, tandis que le corps 12 est muni d'un filetage 14 de pas complémentaire. Le serrage en butée permet d'éviter une ouverture accidentelle.As shown in Figure 4, this connection between the removable housing 16 and the body 12 can also be made by a helical connection. To do this, one proceeds to the screwing or unscrewing of the removable housing 16 which is, in this variant, provided with a tapping, while the body 12 is provided with a thread 14 of complementary pitch. Clamping at the stop prevents accidental opening.
Tel que représenté à la figure 5, le boitier amovible 26 peut être équipé d'un clapet 28. Ce clapet peut être agencé au niveau d'une extrémité opposée à l'extrémité coopérant avec le corps du briquet 22.As shown in Figure 5, the removable housing 26 may be equipped with a valve 28. This valve may be arranged at an end opposite to the end cooperating with the body of the lighter 22.
Tel que représenté à la figure 6, le clapet 28 peut pivoter autour d'un axe de rotation parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du corps 22. Ainsi, il permet l'ouverture de l'orifice 27 par rotation du clapet dans le plan défini par l'orifice 27.As shown in FIG. 6, the valve 28 can pivot about an axis of rotation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body 22. Thus, it allows the opening of the orifice 27 by rotating the valve in the defined plane through the orifice 27.
Tel que représenté à la figure 7, le clapet 38 peut également se présenter sous la forme d'un élément basculant. Dans ce cas, le clapet 38 est agencé en liaison pivot autour d'un axe de rotation perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du corps 32. Ainsi, l'orifice 37 du boitier 36 peut être accessible en soulevant le clapet 38 du plan défini par l'orifice 37. Tel que représenté à la figure 8, l'orifice 77 du boitier 76 peut également être accessible en exerçant un effort manuel de poussée sur une excroissance 79 du clapet 78 ayant pour effet de faire basculer le clapet 78 autour de son axe de rotation. Un moyen de rappel élastique tel un ressort permet ensuite de procéder automatiquement au retour du clapet 78 dans sa position de fermeture de l'orifice 77.As shown in Figure 7, the valve 38 may also be in the form of a tilting element. In this case, the valve 38 is arranged in pivot connection about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body 32. Thus, the orifice 37 of the housing 36 can be accessed by raising the valve 38 of the plane defined by the orifice 37. As shown in Figure 8, the orifice 77 of the housing 76 can also be accessed by exerting a manual thrust force on a projection 79 of the valve 78 having the effect of flipping the valve 78 about its axis of rotation. An elastic return means such as a spring then makes it possible to automatically return the valve 78 to its closed position of the orifice 77.
Tel que représenté à la figure 9, le clapet 48 peut également être solidarisé en liaison glissière avec le boitier 46. De cette manière, on procède à l'ouverture de l'orifice 47 en déplaçant selon un mouvement de translation le clapet 48 dans le plan défini par cet orifice 47.As represented in FIG. 9, the valve 48 can also be secured in sliding connection with the housing 46. In this way, the orifice 47 is opened by moving in a translational movement the valve 48 in the plane defined by this orifice 47.
Tel que représenté à la figure 10 et selon une autre variante de l'invention, le boitier amovible 6 peut pivoter autour d'un axe de rotation perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du corps 52. Ce boitier amovible 56 peut être entraîné en rotation au moyen d'une molette 53 située dans une zone fixe 54 prolongeant le corps 52. Une fois arrivé en position extrêmale de rotation, le boitier 56 peut alors être désolidarisé du corps 52 en vue de son nettoyage notamment.As shown in FIG. 10 and according to another variant of the invention, the removable housing 6 can pivot about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body 52. This removable housing 56 can be rotated at by means of a wheel 53 located in a fixed zone 54 extending the body 52. Once arrived in the extreme position of rotation, the housing 56 can then be detached from the body 52 for cleaning in particular.
Tel que représenté à la figure 11 et selon un autre mode de réalisation, le boitier amovible 66 peut être assujetti en liaison glissière avec le corps 62. Cette liaison glissière est réalisée dans une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du corps 62. Une telle liaison glissière peut notamment être réalisée au moyen d'une gorge et d'une rainure de forme complémentaire, telle une liaison en queue d'aronde notamment.As shown in FIG. 11 and according to another embodiment, the removable housing 66 may be secured in sliding connection with the body 62. This slide connection is made in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body 62. slide connection may in particular be carried out by means of a groove and a groove of complementary shape, such as a dovetail connection in particular.
II ressort de ce qui précède qu'un dispositif portatif de type briquet conforme à l'invention présente de nombreux avantages, et notamment : il permet de procéder au nettoyage du boitier amovible après son utilisation ; il permet de procéder au remplacement du boîtier amovible si nécessaire. It follows from the foregoing that a portable lighter type device according to the invention has many advantages, and in particular: it allows cleaning of the removable housing after use; it allows the replacement of the removable housing if necessary.
