Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to the improvement of gas lighters. The gas lighter can be easily assembled into a predetermined position on the lighter body, and is compatible with the online automatic loading currently carried out in factories.

(Prior Art) Gas lighters are generally made compact by combining many small parts, and in recent years there has been a trend toward smaller and lighter lighters.

In a gas lighter equipped with an ignition operator, a top cover is airtightly fitted to the top of a gas tank installed inside the lighter body, and a nozzle is built into the top cover, while an ignition mechanism and the like are sequentially built into a holder and supported by the top cover. On the other hand, by operating the nozzle to eject gas and rotating the ignition operator, a spark is generated and the gas is ignited.

Conventionally, the flame port of such a gas lighter was shifted toward the file wheel side from the center position where the tip of the gas injection nozzle (injection tube) is located due to the mounting position of the ignition control element. and the gas ejection nozzle were communicated via an L-shaped communication pipe.

On the other hand, a large-diameter annular band is formed approximately in the middle of the elongated internal cylindrical main body, and this is divided into upper and lower cylinders, and outer cases are fitted to the upper and lower cylinders separately, so that the outer diameter is the same as that of the annular band. The outer diameter of the upper cylinder body is formed with a recess for attaching a manual wheel for rotating the file, an opening/closing lid, a flint pusher, a valve device, etc., and two recesses are formed on the upper end surface. The mounting rods of the book are brought into contact with each other, and these two mounting rods have insertion holes in the mounting plate and the mounting base, respectively, and are fixed by overlapping each other. A recessed part, a fitting part, etc. are formed to attach the device to a fixed position in the upper cylinder body, and each component device for ignition can be assembled to operate smoothly. Place the back side of the flint pushing device to be inserted into the entrance hole in the detachment window hole provided in the upper exterior tube, hook your fingertips on the finger hook at the lower end of the hanging plate, and move the flint pushing device up and down to attach and detach the flint pushing device. It was constructed so that it could be attached and detached from the window, and there was a gas lighter whose lower cylinder was formed into a fuel tank (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 44860/1983).

On the other hand, in the case of used disposable gas lighters that have run out of gas, there is no need to discard the ignition mechanism, etc., as a gas lighter that can be detached from the lighter body with a single touch operation. The main body has a mechanism, a valve closing mechanism equipped with an elastic nozzle holding part, a firepower adjustment mechanism, and has an open bottom.
A mounting portion is provided near the lower surface of the opening, and the firepower adjustment mechanism includes an internal gear rotatably supported within the main body, and an operating member fixed to the internal gear so as to be operable from outside the main body. On the other hand, a gas tank having an open top face and containing gas fuel is sealed by a top cover (closing block) that closes the top face of the opening, and the top face of the top cover is formed to fit into the mounting portion from the bottom side of the opening of the main body. and a nozzle that is freely protrusive and retractable and that is elastically held by the nozzle holding part when the fitting part and the fitting part are fitted together, and the internal gear and its rotational axis direction. and teeth formed to fit together in a free state, and the valve is configured to be opened when the nozzle is held by the nozzle holding part and moved in the projecting direction by the valve opening/closing mechanism. There was a gas lighter constructed so that the gas tank could be detachably attached to the main body from the direction below the opening of the main body (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1359/1983).

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) However, among the gaslighters mentioned above,
For gas lighters in which the flame spout and gas jet nozzle are connected via an L-shaped communication pipe, the L-shaped
Because it is necessary to install a type of communication pipe,
Assembly and fixing were complicated and required a lot of effort.
Another problem was that the gas lighter requires many assembly steps, making it difficult to assemble efficiently.

In addition, it was designed to allow easy installation and removal of pre-assembled main parts.
The gas lighter of No. 44860 was not devised for the purpose of inserting and assembling the ignition device etc. into the casing from the top, so as with the past, it took time and effort to assemble each part. In short, it is not possible to handle the online automatic loading that is currently being carried out in factories, and even more so, the ignition operator must be installed on the mounting base after fitting and fixing the ignition operator to the upper cylinder. The insertion hole and the mounting hole of the ignition operator had to be aligned in advance, and a separate length-sized assembly rod had to be inserted from the outside for pivotal support, and it was not possible to assemble it with one touch.

Furthermore, in the case of the gas lighter disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1359-1983, which allows the lighter body and gas tank to be attached and detached with a single touch operation, there is no need to dispose of the ignition mechanism, etc. It was not devised with the assembly process in mind; in other words, it was not devised for the purpose of automatically loading and assembling components such as the ignition device into the lighter body from the top. Therefore, the lighter body and lid must be assembled separately, and the components assembled into the lighter body, such as the ignition operator, elevating member, regulating plate, clamping member, gas conduit, etc., are the same as before. Since each part is assembled independently, it takes time and effort to assemble each part, and as mentioned above, it has the disadvantage that it cannot handle automatic loading by online system.

The present invention was developed in view of this problem, and can be easily installed by simply pressing and fitting the holder holding the ignition mechanism etc. into the top cover.
The ignition operator, actuating lever, communication pipe, and series of ignition mechanisms can be easily assembled into the specified positions on the lighter body, achieving efficient assembly work and eliminating the need for separate fastening members such as pivot pins. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gas lighter that can handle automatic loading by going online, which is currently being done in factories.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of the present invention in order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the intended purpose is to include a tank filled with gas and a top cover on the top of the tank. a lighter body comprising a nozzle erected upright and a lid pivot joint provided at the upper rear side of the tank;

A horizontal hole-type flint storage cylinder is provided in series to hold the flint in a horizontal direction, and one longitudinal end of the holder is provided with a flint storage cylinder. An overhanging plate extending from the top surface toward the file side, a file shaft hole bored in the overhanging plate, and an overhanging plate extending so as to communicate with the file shaft hole from the outer peripheral edge of the overhang plate. a file shaft insertion slit drilled along the widthwise edge of the board, and an ignition operator shaft hole drilled at one end in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal board corresponding to the file shaft hole; a pair of upper and lower locking pieces comprising an ignition operator shaft insertion slit bored along the widthwise edge of the horizontal board so as to communicate from the outer peripheral edge of the horizontal board to the ignition operator shaft hole; and an engagement bay for rotatably engaging one end of the operating lever on the side plate, and
The communication pipe is arranged along the lower surface of the horizontal substrate, and the connecting member communicated with the rear end allows the nozzle to move up and down through an inner hole, and has a lower edge protruding from the tip of the nozzle. The lower end of the rubber ring has a
The butt plug is attached to the horizontal base plate of the operating lever, which has a substantially triangular side wall with one end rotatably engaged with the engagement bay of the holder and the other end facing near the lower end of the support piece. The gas lighter is characterized in that it is assembled in a manner that allows it to be assembled as desired.

(Function) In the gas lighter configured as described above, the holder includes a horizontal substrate and a side plate formed by connecting the engaging hooks that hang down from both ends of the horizontal substrate in the longitudinal direction and extend downward. A horizontal hole-type flint storage cylinder is formed in a cross-sectional shape, and is connected to the upper surface of the horizontal substrate to hold the flint and a spring that biases the flint toward the file side in the horizontal direction; One longitudinal end of the holder includes a projecting plate extending from the top surface of the flint storage cylinder toward the file side, a file shaft hole bored in the projecting plate, and a file shaft hole formed in the projecting plate, and A file shaft insertion slit bored along the widthwise edge of the overhanging plate so as to communicate with the file shaft hole from the outer peripheral edge of the plate, and a file shaft insertion slit in the horizontal board corresponding to the file shaft hole. An ignition operator shaft hole is bored at one end in the longitudinal direction, and an ignition operator shaft hole is bored along the widthwise edge of the horizontal board so as to communicate with the ignition operator shaft hole from the outer periphery of the horizontal board.

Moreover, the flint projecting from the horizontal hole-type flint storage cylinder and the file are assembled in a ready-to-ignite state, and the engagement bay provided on the side plate is rotatably engaged with one end of the operating lever. As a result, the operating lever can be pivoted instantly, and the connecting member allows the nozzle to move up and down through the inner hole, and the lower edge also comes into contact with a rubber ring protruding from the tip of the nozzle. Since the nozzle and the communication pipe can be connected with a single touch,

Furthermore, the lower end of the rubber ring is provided with a substantially triangular side wall having one end rotatably engaged with the engagement bay of the holder and the other end facing near the lower end of the support piece. Since the actuating lever is assembled so as to plug at the horizontal base, the rubber ring will not be pushed down even when the connecting member comes into contact with it, and the rubber ring will not be pushed down by the bottom surface of the connecting member and the horizontal base. Since the nozzle and the connecting member are held in pressure contact with the upper surface of the base, the nozzle and the connecting member are well shielded.

Therefore, the ignition operator, operating lever, communication pipe, and series of ignition mechanisms can be easily placed in predetermined positions on the lighter body by simply pressing and fitting the holder holding the ignition mechanism etc. into the upper cover. It will be assembled.
