Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a case for a lighter, and more particularly to a case for a lighter whose surface is covered with leather or cloth.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when fixing leather or cloth on the surface of the case of a smoking lighter, the most common method is to wind the leather or cloth around the surface of the case and adhere it. In the case of such wrapping, the wrapping ends are butted or superposed. In the abutting, it is difficult to prevent a gap from being formed in the abutting portion, and when the abutting portions are overlapped with each other, a step portion is generated in the abutting portion. It is also practiced to grind and join the overlapping part so that no step is formed. However, the method of wrapping and adhering has the problem that the leather or cloth peels off in any case.

Therefore, the present inventor has attempted to sew the wound end portion, but there is a drawback that the stitching margin protrudes outward and the appearance is poor and the commercial value is reduced. Also, a method of forming it into a tubular shape and inserting it into the case has been tried, but it has a drawback that it is easily pulled out.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This invention securely and well-fixed the leather or cloth on the surface of the lighter case without fear of peeling.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the means adopted by the present invention is characterized in that a decorative body made of a sheet that expands by heating is fixed on the outer surface of a lighter case.

Further, the sheet that expands by heating is sewn into a tubular shape with the surface inside and turned upside down so that the inside comes out to form a tubular material tubular body having a smaller diameter than the lighter case. It is characterized by being inserted and fixed while expanding the body to the outer surface of the lighter case.

Further, the cloth cylinder is made of leather.

Further, the cloth cylinder is characterized by being a cloth.

Further, the cloth cylinder and the lighter case are bonded with an adhesive.

[Embodiment of device]

 A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the figure, (1) is a smoking lighter, and the decorative body (3) according to the present invention is fixed to the case (2). The illustrated case (2) is formed as an integral structure with the lighter, but it may be a case in which only the case is independent and a separate lighter is attached. The case (2) may be made of metal, rigid resin, or any other material. The ornamental body (3) is formed by sewing leather or cloth into a tubular shape, and is fixed by being attached to the lighter case (2). The cloth is a woven material of natural or synthetic resin, for example, nylon cloth, and has a sheet shape.

With reference to FIGS. 2 to 8, a leather or cloth sheet (4) is formed into a tubular shape with the surface inside (FIG. 2), and the ends are sewn to form a tubular body (5). (Figure 3). The cylindrical body (5) has a straight diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the case (2), and the seam allowance (6) is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 3 mm. After stitching, the seam allowance (6) is opened and adhered to the outer surface of the cylinder (5) with an adhesive (FIG. 4). Next, the tube body (5) is flipped over so that the inside is the outside, and the dough tube body (7) is formed (FIGS. 5 and 6). This tubular cloth body (7) is heated and expanded by an appropriate means to expand the diameter and then inserted into the lighter case (2) (Figs. 7 and 8). The diameter of the cloth cylinder (7) is reduced as it cools, and the cloth cylinder (7) is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the lighter case (2) to form the decorative body (3). The heating for expanding the dough cylinder (7) depends on the material of the sheet, but is preferably 80 ° C to 120 ° C. The heating means is not limited to this, but the method of applying hot air or immersing in hot water is the simplest. The cloth cylinder body (7) and the lighter case (2) may be bonded with an adhesive, if necessary.
