Abstract

Depending on whether the reservoir 3 of a leaktight lighter is divided into two identical parts, including as regards the wick or wicks 8-9-14-13-10, lighters can be manufactured with one or two (or even several) flames of chosen and varied colours. This being since a glass fibre wick (to prevent it from burning like cotton or from soiling when burning the salts) is immersed in the alcohol of 3 or of the reservoirs and since one of the wicks (if there are at least two that is to say one per independent reservoir part) is situated facing a pyrophoric lighter, lighter flint and friction wheel, for preference. The alcohol used will contain colouring salts in solution, or borons.

Description

La Présente invention concerne des briquets étanches à mèche(s) en fibre de verre, fonctionnant à l'alcool, dont la flamme est colorée par des sels en solution. Selon que l'on sépare ' en deux parties identiques Cl- fig.2) le réservoir (3- fig.l) d'un briquet étanche, y compris au niveau de la ou des mèche(s) (8-9-14-13-10- fig.l), on peut fabriquer des briquets à une ou deux (voire plusieurs) flammes de couleurs choisies et variées.Et ce, dès lors qu'une mèche en fibre de verre (8 - fig.l) (pour éviter qu'elle brûle comme le coton ou ne s'encrasse en bruyant les sels), est plongée dans l'alcool du (3- fig.i) ou des (1- fig.2) réservoirs et qu'une des mèches (2- fig. 2) (s'il y en a au moins deux (2-3- fig.2) c'est-à-dire une par partie de réservoir indépendant), est sise en face d'un allumage pyrophorique (8-6-4- fig.l et 2-fig. 2), pierre à briquet- et mollette, de préférence. L'alcool utilisé contiendra deS sels colorants en solution, ou des bores.The present invention relates to waterproof lighters with wick (s) of fiberglass, operating with alcohol, the flame of which is colored by salts in solution. Depending on whether we separate 'into two identical parts Cl- fig.2) the tank (3- fig.l) of a waterproof lighter, including at the level of the wick (s) (8-9-14 -13-10- fig.l), you can make lighters with one or two (or even several) flames of selected and varied colors, and this, as soon as a wick of fiberglass (8 - fig.l) (to prevent it from burning like cotton or clogging while noising the salts), is immersed in alcohol from (3- fig.i) or (1- fig.2) tanks and one of the wicks (2- fig. 2) (if there are at least two (2-3- fig. 2) that is to say one per part of independent tank), is located opposite an ignition pyrophoric (8-6-4- fig.l and 2-fig. 2), lighter stone- and soft wheel, preferably. The alcohol used will contain coloring salts in solution, or bores.

Seuls les bores, liquides, permettent une solution dans les hydro-carbures liquides ou gazeux servant habituellement de combustibles aux briquets. Liquides pour les briquets dits "à essence ou Hexane". Gazeux pour les briquets dits "à gaz", c'est-à-dire à butane, isobutane ou propane ou un mélange desdits produits. Les sels métalliques ou organo-mètalliques et les chlorures en particulier, se dissolvent très mal dans les hydro-carbures
Par contre, plusieurs brevets démontrent les solutions possibles desdits sels dans les alcools.Only bores, liquids, allow a solution in liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons usually used as fuel for lighters. Liquids for lighters called "petrol or Hexane". Gaseous for so-called "gas" lighters, that is to say with butane, isobutane or propane or a mixture of said products. Metallic or organometallic salts and chlorides in particular, dissolve very poorly in hydrocarbons
On the other hand, several patents demonstrate the possible solutions of said salts in alcohols.

La Présente invention a donc pour but de revendiquer la fabrication de briquets qui sont des réductions de lampes à alcool, mais avec certaines spécificités que l'on peut décrire ainsi: a) Le briquet doit être totalement étanche, y compris au niveau du capot (13-14- fig.1) de mèche (8- fig.l) et du support (10-9- fig. 1) de celle-ci. Car l'alcool s'évapore facilement. Il y aura donc lieu de prévoir également b) Une valve de remplissage (1- fig. 1) stouvrant par pression de l'embout du bidon (ou réservoir) ê remplir. Celui-ci peut fonctianner par pression des doigts sur ses faces ou côtés, ou peut contenir un gaz pousseur neutre, le type de valve ne faisant pas partie des revendications.Seule la présence d'une valve de remplissage étanche sur un briquet de ce type (1- fig.1), est revendiquée.The present invention therefore aims to claim the manufacture of lighters which are reductions of alcohol lamps, but with certain specificities which can be described as follows: a) The lighter must be completely waterproof, including at the hood ( 13-14- fig.1) wick (8- fig.l) and the support (10-9- fig. 1) thereof. Because alcohol evaporates easily. It will therefore be necessary to also provide b) A filling valve (1- fig. 1) opening by pressing the tip of the can (or reservoir) to be filled. This can operate by finger pressure on its faces or sides, or may contain a neutral pusher gas, the type of valve not being part of the claims. Only the presence of a sealed filling valve on a lighter of this type (1- fig.1), is claimed.

c) L'étanchéité de la mèche (ou des mèches par le procédé simplement répété) (8- fig.1 et 3-2- fig. 2) est assurée par la manoeuvre qui revient à fermer après emploi/allumage, le capot (12- fig.1 et fig.2).c) The tightness of the wick (or wicks by the simply repeated process) (8- fig. 1 and 3-2- fig. 2) is ensured by the operation which amounts to closing after use / ignition, the hood ( 12- fig.1 and fig.2).

Ce faisant, on abaisse jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne s'enclancher sur le(s) support(s) de mèche(s) (10- fig.1 et fig.2), un capot interne (13- fig.1 et fig.2) qui contient un dispositif à gorge (9- fig.l et fig.2) recevant un renflement/bourrelet (14- fig.1 et fig.2) qui assure l'étanchéité de la ou des mèches, quand ledit capot (12- fig.l et fig. 2) est clos. Il est à noter que ce joint peut être disposé droit ou en biais ou de toute autre manière qui facilite l'enclanchement, capot (12- fig.l et fig.2) fermé, du renflement/bourrelet (de préférence "souple") (14- fig.l et fig.2), dans la ou les gorges (9- fig.1 et fig.2). In doing so, it is lowered until it snaps onto the wick support (s) (10- fig.1 and fig.2), an internal cover (13- fig. 1 and fig.2) which contains a grooved device (9- fig.l and fig.2) receiving a bulge / bead (14- fig.1 and fig.2) which seals the wick (s), when said cover (12- fig.l and fig. 2) is closed. It should be noted that this seal can be arranged straight or at an angle or in any other way which facilitates the interlocking, cover (12-fig.l and fig.2) closed, of the bulge / bead (preferably "flexible") (14- fig.l and fig.2), in the groove (s) (9- fig.1 and fig.2).

d) Si l'on veut obtenir plusieurs flammes de couleurs choisies et variées dans un seul briquet, il suffit de doubler le réservoir (scindé en deux parties (3-3bis- fig.l et fig.2)), de doubler l'orifice de remplissage (l-lbis- fig.l et fig.2) et les mèches, supports de mèches, etc... comme décrit ci dessus. La flamme sise devant l'allumage allumant ensuite la deuxième par simple proximité.d) If one wants to obtain several flames of selected and varied colors in a single lighter, it suffices to double the tank (split into two parts (3-3bis- fig.l and fig.2)), to double the filling hole (l-lbis- fig.l and fig.2) and the wicks, wick holders, etc ... as described above. The flame located in front of the ignition then ignites the second by simple proximity.

Le dispositif- de changement de la pierre à briquet de l'allumage de préférence pyrographique (les allumages piezo/électroniques fonctionnent mal avec l'alcool), est celui habituellement utilisé dans les briquets et se constitue d'une'vis (2- fig.l), d'un ressort (5-fig.l), d'une pierre (4- fig.l), d'une mollette (6- fig.l) et d'un support de mollette attenant ou dépendant (11- fig.l) du protège mèche/ flamme (10- fig.1).The device for changing the lighter of the ignition, preferably pyrographic (the piezo / electronic ignitions work poorly with alcohol), is that usually used in lighters and consists of a screw (2- fig .l), a spring (5-fig.l), a stone (4- fig.l), a wheel (6- fig.l) and an adjoining or dependent wheel support ( 11- fig.l) of the wick / flame protector (10- fig.1).

Sur la figure 1, le chiffre 10 indique-non seulement le protège mèche(s) et flamme(s), mais également les orifices d'aération/oxygénation/oxydation de la ou des flamme(s).In FIG. 1, the number 10 indicates not only the wick and flame protector, but also the ventilation / oxygenation / oxidation orifices of the flame (s).

Le(s) réservoir(s) peut/peuvent contenir - ou non -un "coton" pour stabiliser le liquide contenu.The reservoir (s) may / may contain - or not - a "cotton pad" to stabilize the liquid contained.

Un élément monté sur pivot fixé au briquet (15fig.1 et fig.2) permet de maintenir le capot fermé, par pression sur une lame interne (16- fig.1 et fig.2) au capot (12- fig.l et fig.2). An element mounted on a pivot fixed to the lighter (15fig.1 and fig.2) keeps the cover closed, by pressing on an internal blade (16- fig.1 and fig.2) to the cover (12- fig.l and fig. 2).
