JP 09-112903 A

  However, in the conventional gas lighter with a lid described above, there is a problem that gas is expelled just by opening the lid, and there is a problem that the gas is consumed wastefully. Combined with the fact that it doesn't disappear until it is closed, especially for children and those who don't know how to use it properly, it is not safe for the children to ignite safely. Therefore, there is a demand for a gas lighter that also takes safety into consideration.

  The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems and demands, and it is possible to prevent unnecessary gas consumption by opening the lid so that gas is not ejected, and as a child resistant. The object is to provide a gas lighter that is excellent in safety and operability.

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problems and achieve the intended purpose, the gist of the present invention is a gas lighter provided with a lid that can be freely opened and closed on a lighter body. A gas lighter provided with a gas lever operating means that projects into an operable state on the surface of the lighter body in conjunction with the lid opening operation and is stored in an inoperable state in the lighter body in conjunction with the lid closing operation of the lid body Exist.

  The gas lever operating means includes a cap damper that rotates in response to an opening operation of the lid, an elevator link that raises and lowers the elevator section in accordance with the rotation of the cap damper, and a plan assembled to the elevator section. It is preferable to provide a jar and a gas lever operating lever that protrudes from the surface of the lighter main body in contact with the plunger.

  Further, when the elevator part is lifted, the plunger has one end abutting against the gas lever operating lever to force the gas lever operating lever to protrude from the surface of the lighter body, and the other end is the neck of the gas ejection nozzle. It is preferable that the gas lever engaged with is displaced to a position where the gas lever can be pushed.

  The gas lever operating lever is pivotally mounted so that it can be opened and closed so that the other end projects out of the lighter body with one end as a fulcrum, and is always urged in the closing direction to be flush with the lighter body. It is good to squeeze.

  The present invention is configured as described above, and projects in an operable state on the surface of the writer body in conjunction with the opening operation of the lid body, and is inoperable in the writer body in conjunction with the lid closing operation of the lid body. Because of the gas lever operation means housed in the gas nozzle, gas cannot be ejected by only one action when the lid is opened. In other words, the gas ejection nozzle is not operated unless the gas lever operation means is pushed in even when the lid is opened. Since no gas is ejected from the gas, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent unnecessary gas consumption due to the conventional lid opening operation.

  Further, the gas lever operating means includes a cap damper that rotates in response to an opening operation of the lid, an elevator link that moves the elevator unit up and down in response to the rotation of the cap damper, and a plan assembled to the elevator unit. Provided with a jar and a gas lever operating lever that abuts on the plunger and protrudes from the surface of the lighter body. As a result, one end of the plunger contacts the gas lever operating lever when the elevator section is raised. The gas lever operation lever is forced to protrude from the surface of the lighter main body and the other end is displaced to the position where the gas lever can be pushed into engagement with the neck of the gas ejection nozzle. The opening / closing operation and the lever operation of the gas lever can be linked without waste. It is excellent in safety and operability as a child resistant. For example, it cannot be ignited unless the lever operation push-in operation (gas ejection operation) and the ignition operation unit rotation operation (ignition operation) are linked in a timely manner. There are effects such as.

  The gas lever operating lever is pivotally mounted so that it can be opened and closed so that the other end projects out of the lighter body with one end as a fulcrum, and is always urged in the closing direction to be flush with the lighter body. By doing so, it is possible to wipe out the fear that the gas lever operating lever will unexpectedly jump out of the lighter body.

  As described above, the gas lighter of the present invention does not eject gas when the lid is opened, and thus can prevent wasteful gas consumption, and is excellent in safety and operability as a child resistant. Since it is simple, it is suitable for mass production and can be supplied to users as a low price, so that the present invention has a great practical value.

  A gas damper operating means, a cap damper that rotates in accordance with the opening operation of the lid, an elevator link that raises and lowers the elevator section in accordance with the rotation of the cap damper, and a plunger that is assembled to the elevator section; A gas lever operating lever that abuts against the plunger and protrudes from the surface of the lighter body. Further, when the elevator part is lifted, the plunger has one end abutting against the gas lever operating lever to forcibly project the gas lever operating lever from the surface of the lighter body, and the other end is the neck of the gas ejection nozzle.
