Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Technical Field] The present invention relates to a lighter case with a windshield for use in a simple gas lighter, particularly a disposable gas lighter.

[Prior art and its problems]

Traditionally, regular disposable gas lighters have been used in windy outdoor activities where the flame of the lighter can be blown away by the wind, and when it comes to lighting a cigarette for smoking, etc. The problem was that it was difficult to ignite, and it was dangerous.

[Means for solving problems]

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention was developed by igniting a cigarette by the flame penetrating the flame hole on the top of the gas lighter while the windshield member covering the flame part of the gas lighter is inserted. During outdoor activities, the flame of the gas lighter should be contained within the top surface of the windshield member and near the bottom of the top surface to ensure that the cigarette is ignited without the flame being blown away by the wind. This is the solution.

[Structure of the idea]

The structure of the present invention is to form an ignition notch at the top of the long cylindrical lighter case, form a window hole at the circumference of the lighter case on the other side, and provide a flame hole at one end of the gutter-shaped windshield member. A perforated top surface is formed, and the windshield member is slidably inserted into the window hole so that its back is exposed.

[Explanation of Examples]

Next, the present invention will be explained based on drawings of embodiments.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the gas lighter stored in the lighter case of the present invention and the windshield member inserted, Fig. 2 is a side view of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 shows the windshield member in use. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the windshield member in a state where it is slid upward and raised; FIG.

The present invention is a lighter case 1 with a windshield for storing a simple gas lighter, especially a disposable gas lighter, and a lighter ignition device A is installed on one side of the open top of the long cylindrical lighter case 1 having a bottom. forming an ignition notch 2 for the ignition, and forming a window hole 3 in the center of the body circumference of the lighter case 1 on the other side opposite to the ignition notch 2;
A top surface 6 with a flame hole 5 is formed at one end of a gutter-shaped windshield member 4 having approximately the same length as the lighter case 1, and the windshield member 4 is inserted into the window hole 3 at the back 4.
The lighter case 1 is slidably inserted through the opening at the top of the lighter case 1 so that part a is exposed.

That is, in the present invention, a separate windshield member 4 made of a flame-retardant metal or the like is slidably inserted into a lighter case 1 which is integrally molded with a plastic resin or the like.

The lighter case 1 has an elongated cylindrical bottom with an inner shape that roughly matches the outer shape of a normal disposable gas lighter, and is open at the top.When the gas lighter is stored on one side of the top, the gas The ignition notch 2 is cut out so that the ignition device A, such as the ignition ring of the lighter or the gas injection button, can be freely operated,
A through hole (not shown) for pushing out the lighter with a thin stick when replacing the gas lighter is bored in the bottom, and a through hole (not shown) is made on the other side opposite to the ignition notch 2, that is, on the opposite side. A window hole 3 slightly larger than the pad of a human thumb is formed in the center of the body circumference of the side lighter case 1 in the longitudinal direction.

The windshield member 4 has a gutter shape that can be inserted between the inner wall of the lighter case 1 and the lighter, and has a top surface 6 with a flame hole 5 bored at one end, and has a length that is approximately the same as the lighter case 1. It is made of a flame-retardant metal plate, etc.

First, a gas lighter is stored in the lighter case 1 of the present invention, and the windshield member 4 is slidably inserted into the window hole 3 of the lighter case 1 through the opening at the top so that the back 4a is exposed. The top surface 6 of the windshield member 4 covers the upper side of the flame ejecting part except for the ignition device A part of the gas lighter, and the flame nozzle 5 on the top surface 6 is positioned directly above the flame nozzle of the lighter. It is something to do.

In the present invention, a large window hole 3 is provided on the circumference of the lighter case 1, which is on the side of the flame emitting part of the lighter when the gas lighter is housed, and a windshield member 4 is provided in the window hole 3.
When using the lighter outdoors in strong winds with the back part 4a of the windshield member 4 exposed, press the back part 4a of the windshield member 4 with the pad of your thumb and slide it upwards through the window hole 3 to release the lighter. The outer periphery of the flame part is surrounded by the upper end of the windshield member 4. Next, the lighter case 1 is rotated half a turn in the hand, and the ignition ring file wheel and push button type gas injection which are the ignition device A of the gas lighter are used. The button is operated with the pad of the thumb to ignite the cigarette, and the tip of the cigarette is inserted into the upper part of the windshield member 4 directly below the top surface 6 of the windshield member 4. After using the gas lighter, The lighter case 1 is rotated half a turn in the opposite direction again in the hand, and the windshield member 4 is pulled down from the window hole 3 with the pad of the thumb and slid into the case 1 to be housed.

In addition, in recent years, disposable electronic ignition gas lighters with built-in piezoelectric elements have become available on the market, but even if the structure of the lighter's ignition device A is changed by simply pressing down on the push-button ignition/fuel lever when igniting, The invented lighter case 1 can be used.

Conventionally, disposable gas lighters and their lighter cases 1 have been mainly used as advertising media for sales promotion, and in addition to the outer circumference of the lighter case 1, the upper side where the windshield member 4 appears and disappears. The company or product can be printed on the back 4a of the windshield member 4 or the back 4a of the windshield member 4 exposed through the window hole 3.

When using this invention indoors where there is no wind, the first
As shown in the figure, the lighter is used with the windshield member 4 stored, and the flame of the ignited lighter passes through the flame hole 5 drilled in the top surface 6 of the windshield member 4 and exits onto the lighter case 1. If it is used outdoors where there is strong wind, the windshield member 4 should be adjusted according to the strength of the wind.
The cigarette is slid and raised appropriately, and a cigarette is inserted directly under the top surface 6 of the windshield member 4 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 3, and the cigarette is ignited.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and can be provided at a low cost, and can be used outdoors in the wind as a lighter case with a desired design when used indoors. It is an innovative and highly practical idea that can be provided to smokers as a lighter case with a windshield.
