Abstract

The invention relates to a lighter provided with a flange, allowing it to be inserted into the bottom of a cigarette packet so that it is available immediately when lighting a cigarette. The device consists of a flange (1), constituting an extension of the lighter (6), provided with lugs (2), for ensuring retention, which fits into the bottom of the cigarette packet.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de relier un briquet à un paquet de cigarettes, que ce dernier soit "souple ou "rigide". DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a device for connecting a lighter to a pack of cigarettes, whether the latter is "flexible or" rigid ".

D'une façon générale le briquet n'est jamais au même endroit que le paquet de cigarettes et rarement à l'endroit désiré. In general, the lighter is never in the same place as the pack of cigarettes and rarely in the desired place.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces désagréments quelque soit le mode de réalisation du paquet de cigarettes. The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy these inconveniences whatever the embodiment of the pack of cigarettes.

II comporte selon une première caractéristique une languette, positionnée à 90 degrés par rapport au corps du briquet, solidaire ou partie prenante du "dit" briquet, qui vient s'insérer et se maintenir dans le fond du paquet de cigarettes. It comprises, according to a first characteristic, a tongue, positioned at 90 degrees relative to the body of the lighter, integral with or part of the "said" lighter, which is inserted and maintained in the bottom of the packet of cigarettes.

La languette présente sur sa surface des "ergots" pour assurer une rétention suffisante aux contacts des pliages du fond du paquet de cigarettes et les angles de son extrémité sont tronqués pour faciliter son insertion. The tongue has "lugs" on its surface to ensure sufficient retention at the contacts of the folds at the bottom of the cigarette packet and the angles of its end are truncated to facilitate its insertion.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation:
- La languette (i) peut être une extension du fond (5) du briquet (6) ou du corps (3) du briquet (6) ou une pièce rapportée, amovible, fixée de la manière la mieux appropriée.According to particular embodiments:
- The tongue (i) can be an extension of the bottom (5) of the lighter (6) or of the body (3) of the lighter (6) or a removable, attached part, fixed in the most appropriate manner.

- Les ergots (2) peuvent être rapportés ou obtenus par déformation de la languette (1) ou lors de sa réalisation. - The pins (2) can be added or obtained by deformation of the tongue (1) or during its production.

- Les angles (4) sont tronqués. - The angles (4) are truncated.

- La languette (1) peut être prévue à droite ou à gauche du briquet (6)(+ ou - 90 degrés par rapport au corps (3))
- La languette (1). si extension du corps (3) ou du fond (5)du briquet (6), sera de la même matière que ces derniers.- The tongue (1) can be provided on the right or on the left of the lighter (6) (+ or - 90 degrees relative to the body (3))
- The tongue (1). if extension of the body (3) or of the bottom (5) of the lighter (6), will be of the same material as the latter.

- La "languette-fond" (1)(5) comme la "languette-corps" (1)(3) peut, selon la matière retenue pour sa réalisation, être rigidifiée par l'inclusion ou l'apport en surface d'un matériau (7) présentant un facteur de rigidité adéquat et ce dans la géométrie la mieux appropriée. - The "bottom tongue" (1) (5) like the "body tongue" (1) (3) can, depending on the material chosen for its production, be stiffened by the inclusion or the surface contribution of a material (7) having an adequate stiffness factor and this in the most appropriate geometry.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention de la "languette-fond" (1)(5). The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention of the "bottom tab" (1) (5).

Les mêmes principes et descriptifs sont applicables à la "languette-corps" (1 )(3)
Les dimensions, non précisées sur les dessins sont telles que;
- La languette (1) pénètre suffisamment dans le fond du paquet de cigarettes (environ les 415 de sa dimension) et que sa largeur et son épaisseur permettent son insertion.The same principles and descriptions are applicable to the "tongue-body" (1) (3)
The dimensions, not specified on the drawings, are such that;
- The tongue (1) penetrates sufficiently into the bottom of the packet of cigarettes (about 415 of its size) and that its width and thickness allow its insertion.

- les "ergots" (2) sont positionnés de telle sorte que, au moment des contacts de rétention avec les pliages du paquet de cigarettes, on puisse manipuler le briquet pour allumer une cigarette. - The "pins" (2) are positioned so that, at the time of the retention contacts with the folds of the packet of cigarettes, the lighter can be manipulated to light a cigarette.

- Selon des variantes, non illustrées, I'invention peut s'appliquer à tous les types et formes de briquets, qu'ils soient rechargeables ou non, à gaz ou liquides combustibles, de luxe ou "premier prix", etc..et quelques soient les matières de réalisation. - According to variants, not illustrated, the invention can be applied to all types and forms of lighters, whether or not refillable, gas or combustible liquids, luxury or "first price", etc ... and whatever the materials of realization.
