464,239. Frictional pocket igniters. FLORMAN, I. June 9, 1936, No. 16159. Convention date, April 15. [Class 75 (iii)] A pivoted cover 38 is opened by a spring 60, and the friction-wheel 32 operated, on sliding the two parts 2, 4 of the casing relatively. to one another by means of the thumb and fingers of one hand. A unit comprising the ignition device and a fuel container 10 is held in the. rear part 2 by means of an apertured plate 44 engaging a projection 46, the cover being connected by a lever 54 to the spring 60. In the closed position of the casing, a latch 66 on the lever engages a shoulder 68 on the flint tube 22, and the opening movement of the cover is limited by the latch 66 engaging a shoulder 70. A plate 72, held in a recess in the front part 4, carries a bent tongue 84 for releasing the lever 54 by engaging a cam surface 88 thereon, a resilient tongue 80 co-operating with a notch in the plate 64 to resist the initial opening movement of the parts 2, 4, a tongue 82 adapted to engage the plate 64 to limit the opening movement, and a tongue 92 for engaging the lower end of the lever to close the cover when the parts 2, 4 are returned to the closed position. By pressing on the tongue 80 in the open position, the tongue 82 can be lifted to allow separation of the parts 2, 4. The latter are connected by dovetail joints.
