DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a basic configuration of a gas flame generating apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 uses the same reference numerals, is an explanatory view at the time of ordinary flame ignition, and FIG. 3 is switched to a strong flame. It is explanatory drawing of a state.

In FIG. 1, neither the normal flame ignition lever 8 nor the strong flame ignition lever 9 receives any external pressing force such as X or Y. Therefore, the swing member 10 is in the neutral position, and neither the ordinary flame nor the strong flame is ignited. In such a position, the open / close tip 3H of the gas control device 3 is
It is located at the top because it fits in the groove 10D below 0, so the valve of the gas control device 3 is closed. For this reason, the gas in the tank remains closed,
No action.

FIG. 2 shows that the ignition mechanism 2 (not shown in detail) operates in response to a depression of the normal flame ignition lever 8 as indicated by a white arrow X 'to generate a spark or heat the heater. Let it. Note that the swinging body 10 is configured as a so-called toggle mechanism in which a portion below the fulcrum P swings from a neutral position (dead center) to one of left and right stable positions.

The oscillating body 10 configured as described above oscillates to the left in accordance with the pressing operation of the normal flame ignition lever 8 as indicated by the white arrow X ', and moves from the groove 10D of the oscillating member 10 to a higher position. This pushes down the opening / closing tip 3H of the gas control device 3 as shown by the arrow Z '.

As a result of pushing down the opening / closing tip 3H as indicated by arrow Z ', the opening / closing valve of the gas regulator 10 is opened, and the gas in the tank flows from the ordinary flame generating burner 4 through the tube 5 on the open side. Gushing. As a result, the spark which is generated by the depression of the ordinary flame ignition lever 8 or the heater heating is applied to ignite the gas ejected from the ordinary flame generating burner 4. These series of operations are the same as the ignition operation in a normal gas lighter.

FIG. 3 shows a part of the operation of generating a strong flame. While the normal flame is occurring as shown in FIG.
A pressing force as indicated by an arrow Y 'is applied to the left end of the strong flame ignition lever 9. As a result, the left lower surface of the strong flame ignition lever 9 forcibly presses the left end of the normal flame ignition lever 8. As a result, the normal flame ignition lever 8 is lowered to the left, and accordingly, the swinging body 10 pushes down the opening / closing tip 3H by the lower left end as shown by the arrow Z ', contrary to FIG. The pressing margin in this case is compensated by the pressing mechanism 15 including the elastic body.

At the same time, the gas is ejected from the strong flame generating burner 6 through the tube 7 and is ignited from the normal flame burning side. In addition, both tubes 5
Either of 7 and 7 is sandwiched between the adjacent pins 11 or 12 and the side surface of the oscillator 10 and is closed. Therefore, only one of the normal flame and the strong flame is selectively ignited.

FIG. 2 shows a gas flaring apparatus having the above-described structure and operation when ordinary flame is sufficient. The ordinary flame generating burner is ignited by the same operation as a normal gas lighter.

Under bad conditions such as outdoors or strong winds or rainfall, the operation shown in FIG. 3 is performed to generate a strong flame. The extent of such a strong flame relative to a normal flame can be set as appropriate, but, for example, by obtaining a flame having a length of about 1.5 to 2 times, the flame can be emitted despite adverse conditions. The flame can continue. The fine adjustment of each of the ordinary flame and the strong flame can be performed in the same manner as in a normal gas lighter.

In the present embodiment, two tubes branched from the gas control mechanism 3 are used, and a structure is adopted in which the gas flows only to the other part by appropriately compressing and closing the part. However, other configurations can be employed within the scope of the present invention.

For example, the gas control mechanism 3 can be separately formed for a strong flame and a normal flame from the beginning.
Two valves of each gas control mechanism are provided, and switching between the strong flame and the normal flame can be performed by receiving a slight displacement of the oscillator. According to such a configuration, the cost may slightly increase, but the internal structure of the device can be simplified.

FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6 are explanatory views of main parts showing another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the strong flame generating lever 6 is connected to a battery 17 as a power source via a spring 16 and an electric music box 18 is connected to the battery 17. In the present embodiment, through the above-described operation process, the strong flame is blown out by the swing of the strong flame generating lever 6, but at the same time, the ordinary flame generating lever 8 is lowered to the left, and the spring 16 is extended by this operation. , A switch (not shown) to the battery 17 is turned on. Accordingly, the electric music box 17 is operated, and desired music or the like flows to the outside simultaneously with the occurrence of the flame. With such a configuration, a sound such as music is simply output to a writer mainly having an ignition function, so that it is possible to provide a writer full of amusement which has not existed conventionally. In the present embodiment, the case where a strong flame is generated has been described. However, if the same mechanism as described above is also provided for generating a normal flame,
Sound such as music can be played (see FIG. 6).

[0023]

As described above, according to the gas flaming apparatus according to the present invention, it is possible to selectively generate either a normal flame or a strong flame. It does not extinguish under conditions.

When a strong flame is generated in this state, it can be operated as a heat source or an ignition source, and can be used as an illuminating means for illuminating an emergency hand.
