Abstract

Lighters contain liquid fuel which is used to create flames. It follows that the quantity of liquid fuel reduces while the volume thus left empty is filled, little by little, with the same fuel in the gaseous state. The present invention makes use of this change in state of the fuel to introduce, into the contents of the reservoir of the lighter, game elements whose characteristics vary infinitely all the time the lighter is in use. The games are formed by one or more elements which may be of geometric shape or otherwise. This element or these elements have to follow one or more paths, to surmount one or more obstacles, to be placed in one or more containers, to fit together, to complement each other. The object thus designed is intended particularly for smokers.

Description

Jeu qui evolue dans le temps:briquet-jouet. Game that evolves over time: toy lighter.

Traditionnellement les jeux situes dans les fluides évoluent pas dans le temps. Cesjeux sont plonges dans des fluides quelconques(air,eau...)et les caracteristiques du jeu restent constantes,
Les elements du jeu sont plonges soit dans un element à l'exclusion de tout autre(air ou eau ou...)soit dans un contenant où se trouvent deux elements(air et eau,air et huile...).Traditionally the games located in fluids do not evolve over time. These games are immersed in any fluids (air, water ...) and the characteristics of the game remain constant,
The elements of the game are immersed either in an element to the exclusion of any other (air or water or ...) or in a container where there are two elements (air and water, air and oil ...).

Chaque element de la ratier se presente de toute façon sous un seul aspect:l'air à l'état gazeux,l'eau(par ex)à l'etat liquide.Each element of the rake presents itself in any case under a single aspect: air in the gaseous state, water (for example) in the liquid state.

Dans le briquet(au sens large) se trouve un combustible liquide(j'exclue les combustibles non liquides car ils ne permettent pas de jeux basés sur la fluidite) qui est utilisé pour creer des flammes. In the lighter (in the broad sense) is a liquid fuel (I exclude non-liquid fuels because they do not allow games based on fluidite) which is used to create flames.

Ce combustible se trouve à deux etats differnts dans le reservoir:etat liquide et etat gazeux. This fuel is found in two different states in the tank: liquid state and gaseous state.

Au fur et à mesure de l'utilisation du briquet l'etat liquide disparait lentement laissant un volume de plus en plus important à l'etat gazeux. As the lighter is used, the liquid state slowly disappears, leaving an increasingly large volume in the gaseous state.

I1 y a deux fluidites dues aux deux etats du meme combustible dans le meme contenant et la variation entre ces deux etats varie infiniment en fonction de l'utilisation du briquet pour creer des flammes. There are two fluidities due to the two states of the same fuel in the same container and the variation between these two states varies infinitely depending on the use of the lighter to create flames.

La presente invention se distingue par le fait qu'elle se sert de cette evolution infinie des etats du combustible pour introduire dans le reservoir du briquet des elements de jeu. The present invention is distinguished by the fact that it uses this infinite evolution of the states of the fuel to introduce play elements into the lighter tank.

Ces elements de jeu se situent dans un meme element de la matiere a deux etats differents(combustible à l'etat de gaz et de liquide). These game elements are located in the same element of matter in two different states (fuel in the state of gas and liquid).

Les caracteristiques du jeu dans le briquet varient à l'infini tout le temps de l'utilisation du briquet à cause de la variation gaz-liquide du combustible. The characteristics of the game in the lighter vary infinitely all the time of the use of the lighter because of the gas-liquid variation of the fuel.

Les elements du jeu sont soit immerges et les caracteristi ques du jeu sont celles de jeux situes dans des liquides,soit les elements du jeu n'ont pas de contact avec le liquide et les caracteristiques du jeu sont celles de jeu situes dans un gaz:par exemple air. Soit alors les elements du jeu sont confrontes aux deux etats du combustible simultanement et les caracteristiques du jeu varient en fonction du rapport des deux etats. The elements of the game are either immersed and the characteristics of the game are those of games located in liquids, or the elements of the game do not have contact with the liquid and the characteristics of the game are those of games located in a gas: for example air. Either then the elements of the game are confronted with the two states of the fuel simultaneously and the characteristics of the game vary according to the ratio of the two states.

Trois caracteristiques techniques distinguent ce jeu: ~ La variation infinie des caracteristiques du jeutfonction du changement constant du rapport liquide-gaz tout le temps de l'utilisation du briquet. Three technical characteristics distinguish this game: ~ The infinite variation of the characteristics of the game function of the constant change of the liquid-gas ratio all the time of the use of the lighter.

~ Le support du jeu est utilise à un autre usage(creation de flammes). ~ The support of the game is used for another use (creation of flames).

~ Les elements du jeu sont plonges dans un meme element naturel qui est à deux etats differents: le combustible est à l'etat gazeux et liquide dans le meme contenant(alors que dans d'autres jeux il faut deux elements naturels,chacun dans un etat pour avoir deux fluidites,là cest le meme element qui passe du liquide au gaz qui procure cette double fluidite). ~ The elements of the game are immersed in the same natural element which is in two different states: the fuel is in the gaseous and liquid state in the same container (while in other games you need two natural elements, each in a state to have two fluidities, there it is the same element which passes from the liquid to the gas which provides this double fluidity).

Quatre types de jeux sont decrits:
Jeu incluant un ou des elements(par ex:boule)qui suit un ou des chemins(par ex:labirynthe).Four types of games are described:
Game including one or more elements (eg ball) which follows one or more paths (eg labirynthe).

~ Jeu incluant un ou des elements(par ex:boule)qui franchit/ franchissent un ou des obstacles(par ex:serie de bosses). ~ Game including one or more elements (eg ball) which crosses / cross one or more obstacles (eg series of bumps).

~ Jeu incluant un ou des elements(par ex:boule) qui se place/ placent dans un ou des contenants(par ex:dans un trou). ~ Game including one or more elements (for example: ball) which is placed / placed in one or more containers (for example: in a hole).

~ Jeu incluant une ou des formes geometriques ou non qui s'emboitent ou se completent(par ex:maison coupee en deux qu' il faut reconstituer). ~ Game including one or more geometric shapes or not which fit together or complement each other (eg house cut in half which must be reconstituted).

La trasparance en partie ou en totalite peut faire partie du jeu(du reservoir du combustible). Trasparance in part or in whole can be part of the game (of the fuel tank).

Ce jeu ne nessecite pas de mise en oeuvre particuliere specifique. This game does not require any specific specific implementation.

L'objet ainsi conçu concerne les fumeurs. The object thus conceived concerns smokers.
