Definitions
- the invention relates generally to manual or operable lighters of a hand and more particularly manual solar lighters using a parabolic mirror.
- a manual or hand lighter is for the purposes of this patent application, a device adapted to be used with one hand to ignite an object placed at a focal point of the lighter.
- lighters there are various types of lighters in the prior art such as electric lighters, gasoline lighters, gas lighters, pneumatic lighters or solar lighters.
- a solar lighter functions by optical concentration or focusing of sunlight at a particular point or focus of the lighter, for which the optical concentration is optimal.
- a solar lighter comprises at least, for this purpose, an optical component, lens or mirror for focusing the light rays from the sun, means for indicating the focus of the mirror and means for adjusting the component to enable starting from any position of the lighter to obtain the image of the sun at the focus of the lighter.
- the optical component When the optical component is a mirror, it is usually a concave mirror or reflective in its hollow, formed of a pressed sheet metal, usually aluminum, extending in a piece of paraboloid of revolution.
- the surface of the sheet located in the concavity of the dish can be reflective for the sunlight, either by the reflectivity properties of the material which composes it, as is the case of aluminum, or because it is metallized by deposition of a film, in particular of a thin layer of aluminum a few microns thick, on another material, such as a plastic part, in particular impact polystyrene having a low shrinkage during demolding.
- the solar lighter allows, without any consumable, to ignite or to start the combustion of any type of object or material.
- a major disadvantage of the solar lighter is nevertheless that it is unusable in overcast or night weather.
- US4254761 Armas inventors and collaborators, is to associate a lighter gasoline or gas, or more generally a non-renewable lighter to a solar lighter lens to obtain a set that can work day and night.
- the combination of a non-renewable lighter and a solar lighter in the same object faces a problem of space when the non-renewable lighter is a gas lighter and when the solar lighter is a solar lighter mirror including a parabolic mirror.
- a mirror lighter folds the path of the light rays on themselves to bring them to the focus of the mirror, so there is for an object of variable size to ignite, a vignetting of the ray beam incident by the object to ignite itself which imposes particular constraints of size of the mirror and in particular on its diameter vis-à-vis the size of the object to ignite.
- vignetting by the object to be ignited imposes to operate with a surface of the mirror which is of the order of magnitude of the width of three to four human fingers or the palm of the hand, when the it is desired to have a focus area of the lighter or zone for positioning an object to be ignited by means of the lighter, of section, perpendicular to the paraboloidal axis of a parabolic concave mirror, essentially circular and of a diameter of the order of one centimeter. It is also necessary to increase warming caused by a solar mirror lighter to maximize the surface of the mirror.
- the surface of a solar mirror lighter is comparable to that of the palm of a human hand, in the prior art.
- a manual gas lighter usually comprises a butane tank, maintained in liquid form by the pressure in the tank.
- This reservoir is sized on ergonomic constraints to be easily held by hand by the four fingers opposable to the thumb of a human hand folded on said tank, the tank being applied against the palm of said hand.
- An ignition head operable by the thumb of said hand, overcomes the reservoir, said head is connected to the reservoir by a trigger pipe whose opening is controlled also by a movement of the thumb of the hand.
- a gas lighter makes it possible, in the continuity of a gesture of this thumb, to first operate the ignition head to produce sparks and then to press on the expansion duct to evacuate liquid gas Spray it, mix it with air and produce a flame with the help of sparks and the mixture of air and butane released by the action of the thumb.
- a gas lighter is thus dimensioned for its tank to a size allowing an easy grip by a human hand, this size is of the order of that of the palm of a human hand in length and width of the order of a phalanx, essentially 1.5 (one and a half) cm to 2 (two) cm (centimeters).
- the length and width of the tank must remain maximum to allow a tank capacity as large as possible and increase the autonomy of the manual gas lighter.
- the length of a gas lighter is therefore comparable to the size of the palm of a human hand, in the prior art.
- a manual or manual gas lighter and a manual mirror lighter are two objects designed to be used independently by a human hand and are each of a size comparable to that from the palm of this hand, in length for a gas lighter and in diameter for a solar lighter with mirror.
- the problem identified for a gas lighter and a mirror lighter in the prior art is not limited to a gas lighter but is generalized to any non-renewable energy lighter comprising a reservoir of energy of comparable size to the reservoir.
- a gas lighter that is to say that can be held by the four fingers opposable to the thumb of a human hand, and including an ignition head operable by that thumb, when the lighter is held by the other four fingers of this hand.
- the concept of tank and ignition head for a lighter is therefore understood from this point of view throughout the present application.
- a non-renewable energy lighter can be defined in the sense of the present application as comprising an ignition head operable by an inch of a hand and a tank of dimensions making it suitable to be held against the palm of said hand by fingers folded from this hand, other than the thumb.
- the present invention is a device comprising a first manual lighter, a second manual lighter and a positioning means of the first lighter with respect to the second lighter, in which the first lighter uses a non-renewable energy, in which the second lighter lighter uses solar energy, wherein the first lighter comprises a reservoir and an ignition head connected to the reservoir, wherein the second lighter comprises a concave mirror comprising a hinge means for folding the mirror into the concavity of its shape and unfold the mirror to regain its concave shape, wherein the ignition head is positioned in the convexity of the mirror by the positioning means and wherein the reservoir is essentially positioned in the concavity of the mirror by the positioning means .
- said mirror comprises a portion of a paraboloid of revolution about a first axis cutting the paraboloid into a vertex.
- said portion is inscribed, in projection on a plane perpendicular to said first axis and passing through said apex of said paraboloid, in a rectangle admitting the vertex for center.
- said hinge means comprises a hinge and a stop, the hinge for folding the mirror towards the reservoir and unfolding the mirror from the reservoir, and the stop for limiting the unfolding of the mirror to said concave shape.
- said first lighter is a gas lighter and said tank is a gas tank.
- said first lighter is an electric lighter and said reservoir is a reservoir of electrical energy.
- said reservoir comprises a cylinder admitting a second axis, for an axis of symmetry.
- said second axis coincides with said first axis.
- Said positioning means comprises a case adapted to the dimensions of the tank.
- the invention also relates to a method for obtaining one of the above devices, comprising the steps of positioning said ignition head in the convexity of said mirror and to essentially position said tank in the concavity of the mirror.
- the invention also relates to a method of using one of the above devices, of folding said mirror on said reservoir and hold the device with one hand, so that said ignition head is operable by the thumb of the hand, or unfolding the mirror and orienting this mirror towards a sun, using the hand, to use said solar energy as a means of ignition.
- FIG. 1a shows a gas lighter whose reservoir is inserted in the concavity of a solar lighter by a holster, said solar lighter has a mirror which is a paraboloid of revolution of rectangular section cut along a plane passing through the axis of paraboloid and by the largest dimension of the mirror, the mirror is provided with a hinge means consisting of two hinges on either side of the case, the axes of the hinges are directed along the width of the rectangular section and make it possible to fold the mirror towards the tank of the gas lighter.
- Figure lb shows the same device as Figure la, according to the same section with the mirror folded towards the gas lighter tank.
- the invention uses a first manual lighter which is a gas lighter of the prior art.
- Gas lighters are commonly composed of a cylinder (1) cylindrical elliptical section and admitting an axis of symmetry or second axis, this tank being surmounted by an ignition head (2).
- the reservoir usually contains butane gas in the form maintained liquid by the pressure in the reservoir.
- Another fuel such as gasoline or other alkanes than butane could be used with the invention.
- the gas lighter or first lighter In manual use the gas lighter or first lighter is held by its reservoir by means of the fingers of one hand folded on the reservoir, the thumb remaining free and the ignition head being disposed closest to the thumb and protruding fingers folded, to be operable by a movement of the thumb.
- the invention then comprises a solar manual lighter or second lighter, which comprises a positioning means (3) which is a holster and a concave mirror (4) attached to the holster by a hinge (5) which is a hinge.
- a solar manual lighter or second lighter which comprises a positioning means (3) which is a holster and a concave mirror (4) attached to the holster by a hinge (5) which is a hinge.
- the mirror can be in one piece, it can be as complex, that is to say composed of a set of pieces of the same paraboloid, each attached to the case by a set of hinges or joints and opening in the manner of a corolla or flower petals, around the holster.
- a hinge may also be, in all the modes of the invention, in addition to a hinge, a thinning of the mirror material for folding or any other means of folding and unfolding a petal constituting the mirror.
- the number of petals may be the one that facilitates the best grip, a petal or more still constituting the teaching
- the concave mirror (4) is a portion of paraboloid and is attached to the positioning means (3) which is a holster by a hinge (5) which is a hinge.
- the paraboloid is of revolution about a first axis or axis of the paraboloid, which cuts the paraboloid at a point called the apex of the paraboloid.
- the case extends into the concavity of the concave mirror and contains part of the tank of the gas lighter, the case also emerges in the convexity of the mirror, the ignition head of the gas lighter, through a hole centered on the axis of the paraboloid and through the concave mirror at its top, between the first and the second part of the mirror.
- the case is a means of
- the lighter could also be attached to the case to make the entire device of the invention disposable, without departing from the teaching of the invention.
- the reservoir portion disposed in the concavity of the mirror may be determined to leave accessible to one inch, the ignition head when the mirror is folded.
- the reservoir portion disposed in the concavity is also determined by a position causing a vignetting light rays acceptable for the operation of the solar lighter when the mirror is deployed in its concave shape on a paraboloid whose case materializes the axis.
- the concave mirror may be composed of a metallized plastic material in its concavity, for example by an aluminum deposit or by application of a reflective adhesive film in this concavity.
- the thickness of the mirror will be chosen to make it sufficiently rigid to maintain an optical quality sufficient to ignite an object in sunny weather, when its summit and the sun define a line essentially coinciding with the axis of the paraboloid.
- the surface of the mirror will be chosen on the same criterion taking into account the vignetting which can reduce the effective surface of reflection of the mirror.
- the mirror may optionally be provided with a viewfinder for aligning the first axis in the direction shown by the top of the paraboloid and the center of the sun.
- a solar lighter also usually includes a mechanical means of positioning an object in its focus, which may be a hole of the size of the object to be ignited or a means of temporarily fixing the object in an area of the space containing the point focus of the mirror. Elements known from the prior art as a spike or a pliers may be used to temporarily fix the object to ignite. This means of attaching an object to the fireplace can be attached to the case or be an extension of this case.
- a means for attaching an object to the focus may be a cone-shaped piece, dihedron or pyramid polygonal base whose base is attached to the positioning means on its deepest part in the concavity of the mirror , whose tip or line of vertices is close to the hearth and whose slope slope is determined to avoid vignetting light rays.
- the means of attachment to the focus of an object could be an inclined plane connected to the part of the holster most embedded in the concavity of the mirror.
- a dihedron whose summit line is close to the focus would be suitable.
- a polygonal pyramid would be adapted.
- a cone of the same base as the section of the case and whose tip, possibly rounded to not injure a user, is close to the fireplace is a way to fix or adjust the position of an object to focus, simple implementation.
- Any means of indicating the focus of a solar lighter of the prior art can nevertheless be used for the invention, such means being already designed in the prior art to minimize vignetting.
- the case when the invention is a case surrounded by two reflective petals, the case can be reduced to a connecting piece between the petals pierced with a hole of the same shape as the reservoir section of the first lighter, here elliptical, and centered on the top of the dish.
- This hole can itself constitute, if the connecting piece is quite thick and the hole adjusted to the dimensions of the section of the first lighter, a means of positioning the first lighter in the concavity of the solar lighter.
- a case covering the entire tank or a significant portion of the reservoir of the first lighter is superfluous, the hole serving enough positioning means.
- a guiding and maintaining or positioning means improving the positioning while allowing the replacement of the reservoir in this concavity of the mirror.
- This means of positioning of the reservoir may thus be a holster or a sleeve, the dimensions of which are adapted to the lighter, a reduced mechanical clearance between the holster and the gas lighter or a means of reversibly immobilizing the lighter in the holster being provided .
- Any means of maintaining the gas lighter in a prior art case can thus be used for the invention, provided that the lighter can be introduced and replaced when empty.
- Final fixing means involving making the disposable solar lighter would also be conceivable for the invention.
- the reservoir is embedded in the concavity, between the top and the hearth, remaining below the hearth. Indeed, the closer the reservoir approaches the focus in the concavity of the mirror, the more it vignettes or diaphragm or stops, the beam of light rays incident on the mirror and converging at home. If the tank extends between two sections perpendicular to the first axis, a section that constitutes the bottom and one that constitutes the top thereof and that is closest to the ignition head, the distance on the first axis between the section bottom of the tank and the focus of the dish also located on the first axis, will be all the greater, with the invention for a given mirror that the tank section will be larger to minimize vignetting.
- the mirror or the reflective petals constituting it will be provided with joints that may be hinges and stops, or thinning in place and forming means of articulation or articulation.
- a joint allows to fold the mirror itself in its concavity to the tank of the first lighter and thus occupy a footprint next to the first lighter folded mode.
- a hinge also allows from a folded position on the tank to unfold to obtain the concave shape, here that of a paraboloid of revolution about the first axis, from which one or the stops of the joint limit the unfolding of the mirror to the concave shape useful for focussing at the desired focus.
- a hinge about an axis of rotation or folding perpendicular to the first axis may be used.
- the mirror is a rectangular band projected on a plane perpendicular to the first axis and passing through the top of the paraboloid
- the mirror (4) comprises a first petal and a second petal.
- a hinge (5) which is a first hinge and a second hinge which are located on either side of the gas lighter on the holster, symmetrically with respect to the axis of the paraboloid and allow rotation of the hinge.
- the situation with the mirror parts folded down is illustrated in FIG.
- the mirror is, when it comprises two petals, in projection on a plane perpendicular to the first axis and passing through the top of the paraboloid, inscribed in a rectangular section admitting the top of the paraboloid for center.
- the axis of the hinges of each petal can also be arranged parallel to the width of the rectangle and passing through the center of the rectangular section.
- This variant embodiment is chosen for this first embodiment of the invention.
- the mirror has, in this mode, when it has two petals, a band shape folding in two parts of equal length along the tank of the first lighter.
- the design of the mirror of the solar lighter of the invention can be performed by cutting in a paraboloid of revolution about a first axis, a rectangular band projection on a first plane orthogonal to the axis and passing through the top of the paraboloid, rectangular strip whose center is the top of the paraboloid, then to drill a hole in this band, hole admitting the vertex for center of symmetry, in projection on the foreground, to fix a holster in the concavity of the mirror opening on the hole and to add two hinges of parallel axes and equidistant from the top to form the two foldable petals of the mirror according to the invention.
- the width of the rectangle or the rectangular section will be comparable to that of the tank of the first lighter.
- This variant embodiment is also chosen for this first embodiment of the invention.
- the positioning means chosen for this first embodiment is a case adapted to the tank dimensions of the first lighter.
- the case makes it possible, in fact, to maintain this reservoir positioned in the concavity of the mirror, while allowing its replacement when the energy of the first lighter must be renewed.
- a case thus maintains the renewable aspect of the solar lighter.
- the ignition head of the first lighter protrudes into the convexity of the folded concave mirror.
- the mirror is preferably chosen so that its rectangular section is comparable in projection on a plane passing through the first axis, to that of the first lighter. It is therefore possible to use the first lighter positioned or covered with the holster and mirror folded with one hand, the ignition head closest to the thumb.
- the mirror is folded over the tank, to use the first lighter in the usual way, with one hand.
- the second lighter or solar lighter mirror is unusable as the night or overcast weather.
- the width of the mirror is of the order of a human phalanx, comparable to the width of the gas lighter, it is possible to orient the solar lighter by holding it between the thumb and forefinger.
- a manual lighter usable in all the climatic conditions or in case of exhaustion of the gas of the first lighter, and operable with one hand with the same gestures as those necessary for the first lighter as the second lighter or even easier gestures.
- paraboloid taken as an example could be replaced by any surface approaching a paraboloid, for example by a faceted surface, approaching said paraboloid.
- a spherical surface could even be adapted if it deviates only slightly from a paraboloid.
- any lighter having a tank, in particular cylindrical admitting a second axis of symmetry and any section orthogonal to this axis would be used for the invention, provided that its vignetting is acceptable, for an essentially unchanged ergonomics of the use of the first and second lighter in the invention. It is thus understood that any lighter provided with a reservoir, the reservoir being able to be introduced through a concave mirror of a solar lighter, in the concavity of the mirror, is in accordance with the invention.
- One skilled in the art can by simulating the vignetting of the reservoir for a given concave mirror, by geometric optical calculations, easily determine whether this vignetting is acceptable, compared to the mirror of a solar lighter without the invention.
- An optimization criterion of the mirror of the invention will be maximize the effective surface area of the solar rays taking into account the losses due to vignetting, to make this area at least equal to that of a mirror of a solar lighter of the prior art having the same ignition or ignition time than that of a lighter according to the invention.
- an electric lighter having a cylindrical battery discharging into a heating resistor could be used for the invention.
- the gas lighter which possesses a second axis of symmetry may be eccentric with respect to the first axis and not be confused with it but only parallel.
- the tank and the dish would be eccentric, which would not fundamentally change the operation of the invention in this case, provided that the tank is in the concavity of the mirror of the second lighter, solar and the ignition head is in the convexity of the mirror.
- the reservoir since the reservoir is in the concavity of the mirror, it can serve as a means of adjusting this mirror with respect to the sun, by minimizing the shadow of the reservoir on the concave surface of the paraboloid to carry out the alignment of the mirror and place the image of the sun on the first axis of the dish.
- the invention is obtained from the elements described above by positioning the gas lighter in the concavity of the mirror by means of the holster.
- the use of the invention is effected by unfolding the mirror of the device and using the device of the invention as a solar lighter or by folding the mirror and using the device of the invention as a conventional gas lighter which the grip is facilitated by the curved or convex shape of the mirror folded along the tank.
- the invention is susceptible of industrial application in the field of solar lighters.
