Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement in a gas lighter that ignites through an operating member.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In many cases, a valve mechanism used in a gas lighter is provided with a rubber packing at the lower end of a nozzle for discharging vaporized gas, and the valve is opened and closed by moving the nozzle up and down. The valve operating lever that controls the opening / closing operation of the valve mechanism has a fulcrum or a shaft at a part thereof to lock the nozzle, and opens and closes the valve by the lever principle. This method is currently the most popular and reliable means.

However, in a Kazu writer equipped with an operating member for igniting by turning operation, and the valve operating lever is interlocked via the operating member, it is difficult to construct and assemble each part by the above method. In other words, the fulcrum or shaft of the valve operating lever, the locking part of the nozzle, and the operating part that applies external force are in a substantially straight line. Getting a good ignition is not easy.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved by the present invention is that in a gas lighter that is ignited through an operating member, it is difficult to use the conventional valve operating lever for designing the component configuration and shape selection, reliable valve opening / closing operation, and assembly work. That is the point.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a sliding portion for sliding contact with the stay member is provided at one end of the valve operating lever, and a locking portion for engaging with the nozzle is provided at the other end, and further contacted with the claw portion of the operating member. The main feature is that the hanging part is inverted, and the operating member is provided with a key-like claw portion that comes into contact with the hanging part and pushes up the hanging part by the rotating operation of the operating member.

[0006]

[Action]

The gas lighter of the present invention comprising the above-mentioned valve operating lever and the operating member is such that the operating member is rotated around a support shaft to the stay member, and the claw portion provided on the operating member simultaneously operates the valve operating lever. Push up the hanging part of. As a result, the locking portion of the valve operating lever engages with the nozzle and the sliding portion engages with and abuts on the stay member, and is pushed up substantially in parallel. Therefore, the nozzle is pulled up by the valve operating lever to open the valve and release the vaporized gas. The operating member also operates the ignition device at the same time to ignite the vaporized gas released.
Further, when the operating member returns to the original position, the claw portion releases the pushing up, and the valve operating lever also returns to the extinguishing position.

[0007]

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 show a device for restricting vaporization and release amount of liquefied petroleum gas, a valve mechanism for controlling the release of vaporized gas, and a page 3 for releasing the liquefied petroleum gas in a fuel container 1 in which the liquefied refined gas is hermetically contained. A gas lighter which is provided with an ignition device for forming a flame by the vaporized gas, and which further drives the ignition device to ignite by opening the valve by the rotating operation of the operating member 7. The valve operating lever 12 that opens the valve by pulling up the nozzle 3 in conjunction with the rotating operation of the operating member 7 has a sliding portion 12a that is in sliding contact with the stay member 2 at one end and an engaging portion 12b that engages with the nozzle 3 at the other end. Is provided, and the claw portion 7b of the operation member 7 and the hanging portion 12c that abuts on the lower end surface thereof are inverted. Further, the operation member 7 is provided with a key-like claw portion 7b in the vicinity of the support shaft 7a that forms the axis of the rotation operation so as to come into contact with the lower end surface of the hanging portion 12c.

With the above-described configuration, in the gas lighter of the present embodiment, when the operating member 7 is rotated around the support shaft 7a, the claw portion 7b abuts the hanging portion 12c of the valve operating lever 12 and the valve The operating lever 12 is pushed up, and the locking portion 12b pulls up the nozzle 3 to open the valve and release vaporized gas. Further, the operating member 7 simultaneously drives the ignition device to ignite the vaporized gas released. Further, the repulsive force of the springs 6 and 8 causes the operating member 7 to return to its original position, and along with that, the valve operating lever 12 descends to close the valve.

In the drawings showing the present embodiment, an ignition device using a file 9 and a flint 10 is used, but a piezoelectric or battery-type ignition device can also be used and is not limited to this embodiment. Absent. Further, the fuel container and the stay member can be integrally provided in the design of the gas lighter, and the gas lighter is not limited to the gas lighter provided separately.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 As explained above, the gas lighter of the present invention has the sliding portion at one end, the locking portion of the nozzle at the other end, the valve operating lever provided with the hanging portion further downward, and the claw portion for pushing up the valve operating lever. Since the valve is opened / closed by the provided operating member, the space required for the operation of the valve operating lever can be reduced as compared with the conventional method. Further, since the volume of the valve operating lever is reduced and the configuration and shape of the component are simplified, the valve operating lever can be applied to any of the flint type, the piezoelectric type or the battery type ignition device. Therefore, the design range of gas lighters can be expanded and diversified.
