Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a portable smoking gas lighter that can also be used as a igniter.

[Prior Art] A normal gas lighter for smoking has a tinder part inside the lighter case, and even if the tinder part protrudes from the lighter case, its protruding length may impede portability. It's getting to a point where it's not too bad.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] For this reason, when attempting to ignite a gas stove, etc. with a smoking lighter, the distance between the tinder and the hand is short, so the force of the flame at the time of ignition often burns the hand. Smoking lighters could not be used in place of igniters because they were extremely dangerous.

This invention provides a smoking gas lighter with a new structure that can be used as a igniter without any danger, even if it is a smoking lighter, and can be used not only as a portable lighter but also as a tabletop lighter. be.

[Means for Solving the Problems] This invention for the above purpose includes a flat lighter body having a storage groove on the outer periphery, an ignition device and a fuel tank inside, and an ignition operating member on the top surface; It consists of a flexible tube with the rear end of the core wire inserted inside the lighter body fixed in the lighter body and led out from the storage groove to the side of the main body, and a tinder part attached to the tip of the flexible tube. The nozzle member and discharge electrode, and the fuel tank and ignition device are connected to each other via a lead wire inserted through the flexible tube and a fuel tube.

In addition, the above-mentioned crater part consists of a cylindrical windshield attached to the tip of a flexible tube, a nozzle member and a discharge electrode supported within the windshield, and a fuel tube connected to the nozzle member has a passageway inside. It has multiple filaments.

[Function] In the above structure, since the tip of the flexible tube is provided at the tip of the flexible tube, the flexible tube can be wrapped around the lighter body and carried, and the cigarette can be lit as it is. be able to.

Also, when the flexible tube is stretched out, the tinder part will be far away from the lighter body, creating a sufficient distance between the tinder part and the hand, so even if used as a igniter, the hand will not be scorched by the flames when igniting. There is no.

Furthermore, when the flexible tube is bent, it can be used as a desk lighter based on the lighter body.

[Example] In the figure, 1 is a circular and flat lighter body, which has a storage groove 2 around its outer periphery. Inside the lighter body 1, a piezoelectric ignition device 3 of a normal structure and a fuel tank 4 are provided, and an ignition operating member 5 of the piezoelectric ignition device 3 is slidably attached to the upper surface of the lighter body 1. be.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a flexible tube made of rubber, with a spout 7 attached to its tip, and a bendable metal core wire 8 made of aluminum or the like passed through the inside. This flexible tube 6 has a length that goes around the outer circumference of the lighter body 1 once, and the rear end is inserted into the inside from the side of the lighter body 1, and the rear end of the core wire is fixed with a screw 9 to be attached to the lighter body 1. It is being Further, a lead wire 10 from the piezoelectric ignition device 3 and a fuel tube 12 from the valve device 11 of the fuel tank 4 are inserted into the flexible tube 6 up to the tip thereof. A plurality of filaments 13 made of synthetic resin are inserted to ensure a passage.

The crater section 7 consists of a cylindrical windshield 14 having a crater on its upper surface, a nozzle member 15 and a discharge electrode 16 inside the windshield 14, and a wire inside the windshield 14 that is electrically connected to the core wire 8. Conductive shelf board 1
7 is provided. On this shelf board 17 is an electrode stand 1.
8 is fixed, and the nozzle member 1 is connected to the fuel tube 12 through the electrode stand and shelf board.
5 is installed. Further, the discharge electrode 16 is formed by fixing the tip of the lead wire 10 to an electrode stand 18.

Note that 19 is a valve opening/closing member, and 20 is an injection valve. Although not shown in the drawings, the ground side of the piezoelectric ignition device 3 and the core wire 12 are electrically connected at the lower end, so that discharge sparks are generated between the nozzle member 15 and the discharge electrode 16.

In the above structure, when the ignition operating member 5 is slid, the valve 11 of the fuel tank 4 is opened, and then the piezoelectric igniter 3 is activated, similar to a normal smoking lighter. The liquefied gas flows out from the nozzle member 15 through the flexible tube 6 by the fuel tube 12, and the piezoelectricity is guided to the discharge electrode 16 by the lead wire 10 and discharged between it and the nozzle member 15, producing a spark. Occur. This discharge spark ignites the outflowing gas, producing a flame from the crater.

Further, since the passage of the fuel tube 12 is secured by the filament 13 so as not to be crushed, the flow of fuel will not be impaired no matter what state the flexible tube 6 is in.

Therefore, it goes without saying that the flexible tube 6 can be used by wrapping it around the main body as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the tip of the flexible tube 6 can be bent upward and the lighter body 1 can be placed on a tabletop for use, or the flexible tube 6 can be extended and used as shown in FIG. can.

[Effects of the invention] This invention consists of a flat lighter body, a flexible tube with the rear end of the core wire inserted inside the lighter body fixed inside the lighter body, and led out from the storage groove to the side of the body; A smoking lighter is constructed from a tinder part attached to the tip, and the position of the tinder part can be freely changed by using a flexible tube with respect to the lighter body, so when used as a portable lighter. All you have to do is wrap the flexible tube around the lighter body, and if you want to use it as a tabletop lighter, you can put the lighter body on the table with the tinder part upright. Because it is far away from the person doing the burning, the flame will not burn the person's hand, so it can be used as a igniter to ignite a gas stove, etc. In addition, the fuel passage is secured by multiple filaments inserted into the fuel tube, so no matter what condition the flexible tube is in, there is no possibility that the flow of fuel gas will be impaired and ignition errors will occur. It has the following features:
