BRIQUET A GAZGAS LIGHTER
La presente invention est relative aux briquets a gaz. Plus particulierement, l' invention concerne un briquet a gaz comprenant un reservoir de combustible en materiau polymere amorphe qui comprend une paroi superieure traversee par un puits dote d'un dispositif de distribution de gaz qui comprend un element tubulaire emboite avec The present invention relates to gas lighters. More particularly, the invention relates to a gas lighter comprising a fuel tank made of amorphous polymer material which comprises an upper wall traversed by a well provided with a gas distribution device which comprises a tubular element fitted with
etancheite dans le putts.sealing in the putts.
les polymeres amorphes susmentionnes vent des polymeres presentant des chalnes de monomeres disposes de the aforementioned amorphous polymers are polymers having chains of monomers arranged
facon desordonnee, contrairement aux polymeres semi- untidy, unlike semi-polymers
cristallins ou cristallins, dans lesquels la disposition des chalnes est reguliere. Certains polymeres amorphes, parmi lesquels on peut citer la categoric des ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrenes) ou des SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), presentent plusieurs avantages pour la realisation de reservoirs de combustible de briquets. En effet, certains polymeres amorphes vent transparents, ce qui permet de visualiser le niveau de combustible en phase liquide restart dans le reservoir, et ils vent generalement moins chers et plus faciles a mettre en muvre que les crystalline or crystalline, in which the arrangement of the chalnes is regular. Certain amorphous polymers, among which one can cite the category of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrenes) or SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), have several advantages for the production of fuel tanks for lighters. Indeed, certain amorphous polymers are transparent, which makes it possible to visualize the level of fuel in liquid phase restarted in the tank, and they are generally less expensive and easier to process than
polymeres semi-cristallins.semi-crystalline polymers.
Ces polymeres amorphes sont, de maniere generale, relativement cassants a temperature ambiante car leur allongement a la limite elastique est faible, generalement inferieure a 51. Ces polymeres ne supportent done pas des contraintes d' extensions car celles-ci provoquent des micro- fissures et par consequent des fuites de gaz. De plus, leurs proprietes mecaniques se degradent avec le These amorphous polymers are generally relatively brittle at room temperature because their elongation at the elastic limit is low, generally less than 51. These polymers therefore do not support extension stresses because these cause micro-cracks and consequently gas leaks. In addition, their mechanical properties deteriorate with the
vieillissement du materiau.aging of the material.
Aussi, pour monter le dispositif de distribution de gaz dans la paroi superieure de tels reservoirs, on a generalement recours a des montages complexes, tels que Also, to mount the gas distribution device in the upper wall of such reservoirs, use is generally made of complex arrangements, such as
celui divulque dans le document WO-A 01/18452. that disclosed in document WO-A 01/18452.

Dans ce document, ltelement tubulaire est dote d'un joint torique qui forme l'etancheite entre ledit element tubulaire et le puits de la paroi superieure du reservoir, et cet element tubulaire est maintenu dans le puits au moyen diune bague filetee qui est vissee dans une partie In this document, the tubular element is provided with an O-ring which forms the seal between said tubular element and the well of the upper wall of the reservoir, and this tubular element is held in the well by means of a threaded ring which is screwed in a part
superieure filetee du putts.upper threaded putts.
Le dispositif decrit dans ce document presente l' inconvenient de comporter des pieces nombreuses et complexes, ce qui complique le montage du briquet et done The device described in this document has the disadvantage of comprising numerous and complex parts, which complicates the assembly of the lighter and therefore
augmente son cout de fabrication et diminue sa fiabilite. increases its manufacturing cost and decreases its reliability.
De plus, l'encombrement d'un tel dispositif de distribution In addition, the size of such a distribution device
limite les possibilites de miniaturisation du briquet. limits the possibilities of miniaturization of the lighter.
Enfin, cette solution niest pas satisfaisante sur le plan de l'etancheite dans la mesure ou le joint torique, qui n'est que relativement faiblement comprime pour ne pas provoquer de micro-fissures, ne garantit pas une etancheite parfaite. La presente invention a notamment pour but de Finally, this solution is not satisfactory in terms of sealing since the O-ring, which is only relatively weakly compressed so as not to cause micro-cracks, does not guarantee perfect sealing. The object of the present invention is in particular to
pallier ces inconvenients.overcome these disadvantages.
A cet effet, un briquet du genre en question est caracterise en ce que la paroi superieure du reservoir comporte une gorge annulaire agencee autour du puits, en ce que lielement tubulaire du dispositif de distribution est embolte dans le puits, et en ce que ladite paroi superieure est renforcee par une couronne emboltee dans la gorge annulaire, la paroi superieure formant, entre la gorge et le puits, une paroi annulaire qui est serree entre ladite couronne et ledit element tubulaire, afin d'obtenir une etancheite entre ledit element tubulaire et le puits To this end, a lighter of the kind in question is characterized in that the upper wall of the reservoir has an annular groove arranged around the well, in that the tubular element of the dispensing device is embolished in the well, and in that said wall upper is reinforced by a crown embolished in the annular groove, the upper wall forming, between the groove and the well, an annular wall which is clamped between said crown and said tubular element, in order to obtain a seal between said tubular element and the well
uniquement par contact mutuel.only by mutual contact.
Grace a ces dispositions, on obtient un briquet dont le reservoir est relativement peu couteux du fait de l'utilisation du polymere amorphe, mais neanmoins parfaitement etanche grace a la presence de la couronne de renfort emboltee dans la gorge annulaire qui entoure le putts. Cette couronne de renfort evite la presence de contraintes d' extension dans la paroi superieure de reservoir et notamment dans la paroi annulaire situee entre la gorge et le puits, mais cree plutat des contraintes de compression dans la paroi annulaire ce qui evite ['apparition de microfissures. Ainsi le montage de ['element tubulaire du dispositif de distribution de gaz Thanks to these arrangements, a lighter is obtained, the reservoir of which is relatively inexpensive due to the use of the amorphous polymer, but nonetheless perfectly waterproof thanks to the presence of the crown of reinforcement embedded in the annular groove which surrounds the putts. This reinforcing ring avoids the presence of extension stresses in the upper wall of the reservoir and in particular in the annular wall situated between the groove and the well, but creates rather compression stresses in the annular wall which avoids the appearance of microcracks. Thus the mounting of the tubular element of the gas distribution device
dans le puits du reservoir est parfaitement etanche. in the tank well is perfectly waterproof.
De plus, le montage du dispositif de distribution de gaz est particulierement simple, puisqu'il n'est pas necessaire d'avoir recours a un joint rapporte entre le puits et l' clement tubulaire, ni a une bague vissee pour In addition, the assembly of the gas distribution device is particularly simple, since it is not necessary to have recourse to an attached seal between the well and the tubular element, nor to a screwed ring for

L'avantage de ces polymeres amorphes est notamment qu'ils vent peu couteux et faciles a mettre en uvre. De plus, certains d'entre eux peuvent etre transparents, ce qui permet a l'utilisateur de contr81er le niveau de The advantage of these amorphous polymers is in particular that they are inexpensive and easy to use. In addition, some of them can be transparent, allowing the user to control the level of

Bien entendu, d'autres polymeres de type amorphe pourraient etre utilises, des lors que leurs proprietes mecaniques et chimiques vent compatibles avec leur Of course, other polymers of the amorphous type could be used, since their mechanical and chemical properties are compatible with their
utilisation comme reservoir de briquet a gaz. use as a gas lighter tank.
Compte tenu de la pression de gaz regnant a l'interieur du reservoir, la cuve 3 et la paroi superieure 7 presentent des parois relativement epaisses, et la cuve peut le cas echeant comporter un pontet 8 qui s'. etend verticalement a partir du fond 4 en reliant deux faces Given the prevailing gas pressure inside the tank, the tank 3 and the upper wall 7 have relatively thick walls, and the tank may if necessary include a trigger guard 8 which s'. extends vertically from the bottom 4 by connecting two faces
opposees de la paroi laterale 5.opposite the side wall 5.
La paroi superieure 7 de la cuve comporte un puits 9 qui, dans lexemple represente, s'etend verticalement et qui peut avantageusement presenter une forme cylindrique de revolution. Dans ce puits 9 est dispose un dispositif de distribution de gaz 10 qui est actionne par un dispositif de commande 11 porte par une tete 12 du briquet, qui The upper wall 7 of the tank has a well 9 which, in the example shown, extends vertically and which can advantageously have a cylindrical shape of revolution.

Dans l'exemple considere ici, le dispositif de distribution 10 comporte un element tubulaire 19 qui peut avantageusement etre metallique et presenter une forme In the example considered here, the dispensing device 10 comprises a tubular element 19 which can advantageously be metallic and have a shape
cylindrique de revolution.cylindrical of revolution.
Le dispositif de distribution 10 peut aussi comporter par exemple: - un dispositif de regulation du debit de gaz comportant par exemple un disque micro poreux 20 qui est maintenu contre un epaulement interieur 21 de l 'clement tubulaire 19 forme vers lextremite inferieur du audit element tubulaire, le disque micro poreux 20 masquant un orifice 21a forme au centre de l'epaulement 21 et,etant plaque contre la face inferieure audit epaulement par un anneau rigide 22 lui-meme retenu en partie inferieure de l 'clement tubulaire par sertissage de l'extremite inferieure 23 audit element tubulaire, - une valve 24 formee d'un corps creux tubulaire qui porte dans sa partie inferieure un obturateur tel qu'un disque en elastomere 26 adapte pour obturer l' orifice 21a susmentionne, ce corps creux delimitant un conduit de sortie de gaz 27 qui communique avec l'interieur de l 'clement tubulaire 19 par l'intermediaire de fentes 28 ou The distribution device 10 can also include, for example: - a device for regulating the gas flow rate comprising, for example, a micro-porous disc 20 which is held against an internal shoulder 21 of the tubular element 19 formed towards the lower end of said tubular element , the micro porous disc 20 masking an orifice 21a formed in the center of the shoulder 21 and, being a plate against the face lower than said shoulder by a rigid ring 22 itself retained in the lower part of the tubular element by crimping the lower end 23 to said tubular element, - a valve 24 formed of a tubular hollow body which carries in its lower part a shutter such as an elastomer disc 26 adapted to close the aforementioned orifice 21a, this hollow body delimiting a conduit gas outlet 27 which communicates with the interior of the tubular element 19 by means of slots 28 or

Le dispositif de commande 11 comprend une fourchette basculante 30 autour d'un axe solidaire de la tete 12. Une premiere extremite 31 de la fourchette 30 coopere avec un decrochement 32 forme en partie superieure du corps creux 25 de maniere a soulever ledit corps creux lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sur la deuxieme extremite 33 de la fourchette. Afin de maintenir la valve 24 obturee en position de repos, un ressort de compression 34 est dispose entre la face inferieure de ltextremite 33 de la fourchette The control device 11 comprises a tilting fork 30 around an axis integral with the head 12. A first end 31 of the fork 30 cooperates with a recess 32 formed in the upper part of the hollow body 25 so as to lift said hollow body when the user presses on the second end 33 of the fork. In order to keep the valve 24 closed in the rest position, a compression spring 34 is placed between the lower face of the end 33 of the fork.
et le fond 35 d'un puits forme dans la tete 12. and the bottom 35 of a well formed in the head 12.
Comme represente plus en detail sur la figure 2, l' clement tubulaire 19 du dispositif de distribution 10 est As shown in more detail in FIG. 2, the tubular element 19 of the distribution device 10 is
embolte dans le puits 9.embolism in well 9.
Par ailleurs, la paroi superieure 7 du reservoir presente autour du puits 9, une gorge annulaire 36 qui peut, par exemple, presenter une forme cylindrique de revolution et qui est ouverte vers le haut. Dans cette gorge annulaire 36 est embolte une couronne de renfort 37, de facon que la paroi annulaire 38 qui separe la gor,ge 36 du puits 9 soit serree radialement entre la couronne 37 et ltelement tubulaire 19. Ce serrage assure l'etancheite entre le puits 9 et l' clement tubulaire 19 par le seul contact entre ces deux pieces, sans necessiter de joint supplementaire. De preference, la gorge annulaire 36 et la couronne 37 vent concentriques au puits 9 et a ['element tubulaire 19. Avantageusement, l' clement tubulaire 19 est embolte a frottement doux dans le puits 9, tandis que la face annulaire 39 de la couronne 37 qui est oriente radialement vers l'interieur est emboltee serree contre la face annulaire 40 de la gorge qui est oriente radialement vers l'exterieur. On notera toutefois qu' il est possible d' avoir un leger jeu, quelques centiemes de millimetre, entre ['element tubulaire 19 et le puits 9, l'emboltement serre de la couronne 37 dans la gorge 36 assurant la compression de la paroi annulaire 38, sans creer de contrainte Furthermore, the upper wall 7 of the reservoir presents around the well 9, an annular groove 36 which can, for example, have a cylindrical shape of revolution and which is open upwards. In this annular groove 36 is a crown reinforcement 37, so that the annular wall 38 which separates the groove, ge 36 from the well 9 is tightened radially between the crown 37 and the tubular element 19. This tightening ensures the tightness between the well 9 and tubular element 19 by the sole contact between these two parts, without the need for an additional seal. Preferably, the annular groove 36 and the crown 37 are concentric with the well 9 and with the tubular element 19. Advantageously, the tubular element 19 is embolished with gentle friction in the well 9, while the annular face 39 of the crown 37 which is oriented radially inward is embolished tight against the annular face 40 of the groove which is oriented radially outward. It will be noted however that it is possible to have a slight clearance, a few hundredths of a millimeter, between the tubular element 19 and the well 9, the tightening of the crown 37 in the groove 36 ensuring the compression of the annular wall 38, without creating constraint
d' extension dans celle-ci, contre ['element tubulaire 19. extension therein, against the tubular member 19.
De preference, la face annulaire 41 de la couronne 37 qui est oriente radialement vers l'exterieur est emboltee sans serrage dans la face annulaire 42 de la gorge Preferably, the annular face 41 of the crown 37 which is oriented radially outwards is embossed without tightening in the annular face 42 of the groove
qui est orientee radialement vers l'interieur. which is oriented radially inwards.
Plus precisement: - le diametre exterieur de l' clement tubulaire 19 peut etre au moins egal et avantageusement sensiblement egal au diametre interieur du puits 9, - le diametre interieur de la couronne 37 peut etre inferieur (par exemple, d'environ 3 a 12 centiemes de millimetre) au diametre interieur.de la gorge 36, - et le diametre exterieur de la couronne 37 peut etre au plus egal, et de preference inferieur au diametre exterieur de la gorge 36 de facon que la couronne 37 ne genere pas de contraintes d'extension dans la partie de la More precisely: - the outside diameter of the tubular element 19 can be at least equal and advantageously substantially equal to the inside diameter of the well 9, - the inside diameter of the crown 37 can be smaller (for example, from about 3 to 12 hundredths of a millimeter) to the inside diameter of the groove 36, - and the outside diameter of the crown 37 can be at most equal, and preferably less than the outside diameter of the groove 36 so that the crown 37 does not generate constraints extension in the part of the
paroi superieure 7 situee a ltexterieur de la gorge 36. upper wall 7 located outside the groove 36.
Ces differentes dispositions permettent une excellente etancheite entre ['element tubulaire 19 et le poits 9, sans pour autant risquer de generer des micro fissures dans la paroi superieure du reservoir notamment au These different arrangements allow an excellent seal between the tubular element 19 and the points 9, without risking generating micro cracks in the upper wall of the reservoir, in particular at
voisinage du puits 9.near the well 9.
Avantageusement, le materiau constituent la couronne 37 doit etre relativement rigide et capable de supporter un allongement relativement important, de preference superieur a 5%. A titre d'exemple, la couronne Advantageously, the material constituting the crown 37 must be relatively rigid and capable of supporting a relatively large elongation, preferably greater than 5%. For example, the crown
37 peut etre realisee en un materiau polymere semi- 37 can be made of semi-polymer material
cristallin, par exemple en POM (polyoxymethylene) ou en crystalline, for example POM (polyoxymethylene) or
encore en polyamide, par exemple de type 6-6. also in polyamide, for example of type 6-6.
Dans le but de reduire le nombre de piece, la couronne 37 est realisee d'une seule piece dans ledit materiau polymere semi-cristallin avec la tete 12. De plus, ce materiau permet un montage simple de l' clement tubulaire In order to reduce the number of pieces, the crown 37 is made in one piece in said semi-crystalline polymeric material with the head 12. In addition, this material allows simple mounting of the tubular element
19 par emboltement a force dans un trou 43 de la tete 12. 19 by force embolism in a hole 43 in the head 12.
Bien entendu ce mode de realisation est nullement limitatif, il est notamment possible de realiser la tete 12, la couronne 37 et ['element tubulaire 19 en une seule Of course this embodiment is in no way limiting, it is in particular possible to produce the head 12, the crown 37 and the tubular element 19 in a single
piece, soit metallique soit en polymere semi-cristallin. piece, either metallic or semi-crystalline polymer.
