Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

  This invention relates to a lighter adapter for attaching to a disposable lighter , More specifically, an adapter for giving the lighter a windshield function to shield the flame from the outside wind Regarding

[0002]

[Prior art]

  A lighter known as a "disposable lighter" with a simple exterior is publicly available. Knowledge. This type of lighter has a minimal exterior, so its appearance is high. The lighter in a cylindrical shape with the ignition control and nozzle exposed at the top. Conventionally, a lighter case to be housed in a container has been proposed.

[0003]   On the other hand, in a disposable lighter that has a minimal exterior, a normal writer As it does not have a lid that also serves as a windshield, it will be difficult to use outdoors with strong wind. There was a problem. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a windshield function is added to the lighter case. A device having it was proposed (actual fairness 1-4107, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-2834). 61).

[0004]   In the case of the lighter case of the prior art of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-4107, inside the cylindrical case Insert the metal windshield into the case so that it can slide up and down, and expose the back of the windshield to the case. The windshield part exposed from the window part of the case by piercing the window part The material was configured to move up and down by the belly of the thumb. Also, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-2834 In 61 prior art lighter cases, the lighter is housed in a cylindrical case. In a lighter case that should be used, hold the case in the girth direction on the outside of the case. The vertically split tubular windshield member was lifted by fitting it vertically to the outside. The windshield member covers a part of the flame from the nozzle.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]   The above conventional technology enhances the appearance of the disposable lighter and realizes the windshield function. It was an epoch-making device in that respect. However, the former uses metal members. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is high, and the latter requires a cylindrical body to accommodate the lighter. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost of the die and the die cutting increases.

[0006]   Also, as a problem common to both, it can be used because the lighter is housed in the case There was a problem that the shape of a simple lighter was specified and it lacked versatility.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  The present invention provides a lighter adapter that solves the above problems of the prior art. It was created for the purpose of holding the lighter in the girth direction. Of the vertical split tubular adapter body that is fitted onto a part of the circumference of the body of the Vertically slidably fitted in the gap formed between the main body of the lighter and the body of the lighter. It is characterized in that the windshield member has a split tubular shape.

[0008]

[Embodiment of device]

  Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 2 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a lighter case of this invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an adapter book It is the body. This adapter body 1 is a plastic body that has resilience when bent. It is molded by a stick and is constructed in a vertically split cylinder shape with one side open. Here, the bottom 2 is provided below. The adapter body 1 is the body of the lighter L It has a function of embracing in the circumferential direction and being fitted onto a part of the circumference side of the trunk portion. That For this reason, here, the half circumference side facing the ignition operation part L1 on the circumference side of the body part of the lighter L is It has an arched cross section and holds the body of the lighter with strong pressure. As you can see, the inner distance between the two ends of the arch opening is set narrower than the width of the lighter's body, A configuration in which a lighter is inserted by pushing open both ends is disclosed.

[0009]   The lighter adapter of this invention is fixed to the lighter in advance by the manufacturer. If you plan to sell the product, attach the adapter body 1 directly to the lighter L. Of course, it is possible to do so.

[0010]   Reference numeral 10 in the figure covers a part of the periphery of the flame from the nozzle L2 of the lighter L when rising. It is a windshield member, and is configured in a vertically split tubular shape. This windshield member 10 is the adapter -Slidingly fitted in the gap S formed between the body 1 and the body portion of the lighter L so as to be vertically movable. It Here, as means for forming the gap S, the inner circumference of both ends of the adapter body 1 is used. By providing a pair of thick-walled portions 3 and 3 that come into contact with the body portion of the lighter L on the side, It is disclosed that a gap is formed between the extra thin portion 4 and the body portion of the lighter (Fig. 2 and (See FIG. 4). It is desirable that the windshield member 10 be non-combustible, and the material is metal or Is assumed to be heat-resistant plastic. Also, at the top part that covers the flame when rising A heat insulating member with extremely low heat conduction may be provided on the inner peripheral side.

[0011]   When the windshield member 10 descends, it is contained within the entire length of the adapter body 1, and when it rises. The top part covers part of the circumference of the flame from the nozzle L2 of the lighter L (see FIG. 1). State) The length is set. The windshield member 10 is moved up and down by the user, In FIGS. 1 and 2, as a configuration therefor, the windshield member is attached to the adapter body 1. A part of the peripheral side of 10 is exposed and has a size into which a user's fingertip can be inserted. The mechanism provided with the window 5 is disclosed. In this case, the user can use the window 5 Further, it becomes possible to directly push up or down the windshield member 10.

[0012]   3 to 5 show different embodiments of the vertical movement mechanism of the windshield member 10. Here, the windshield member 10 is provided in the slit 6 provided in the vertical direction of the adapter body 1. The sliding shaft 11 protruding from the outer periphery of the sliding shaft is slidably fitted, and an operating piece is provided at the tip of the sliding shaft. I'm sick. As the operation piece, here, a button-shaped operation piece 12 (FIGS. 3 and 4), An operation piece 12 (FIG. 5) having a half ring shape is illustrated.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

  The present invention having the above configuration has the following unique effects. Instead of housing the lighter in the case as in the prior art, the body part of the lighter Since the vertically split tubular adapter body is fitted on a part of the circumference side of the , Even if the shape of the target lighter is slightly different, it can be installed, The versatility that can correspond to is secured. This feature is that the adapter body has an arched cross section This is especially noticeable when For the same reason, as in the prior art, a hole-shaped accommodation portion for accommodating the lighter is provided. Since it is not necessary, die cutting is easy, and it covers only a part of the lighter instead of the whole. Since it is a shape, the size is also small, and the number of parts is small, so the cost of the mold and manufacturing It reduces the labor and material cost, etc., and is an equivalent machine at an extremely low cost compared to the conventional technology. It is possible to provide a product having the ability.
