Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a gas lighting device suitable for night fishing, night cooking, and lamp fishing, in particular, it is possible to expand the irradiation area and assemble and disassemble by simple operation. In addition, the present invention relates to a technology that makes it compact and can be carried or stored when disassembled.

(Prior Art) As this type of gas lighting device, the one shown in FIG. 9 is conventionally known. In the figure, a gas lighting device A has a gas lighting element B and a body D that fixes the gas lighting element B to the upper end and detachably accommodates and holds a gas cylinder (not shown). A pivoting mechanism F capable of rotating the rear end of the reflector E downward from a substantially horizontal state.
A support plate H having a handle G attached to the upper end thereof so as to be rotatable via
It is connected to.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional gas lighting device, the rear end of the reflector E is supported via a pivoting mechanism F which is configured to be rotatable downward from a substantially horizontal state. Since it is connected to the plate H, the irradiation axis cannot be set in the elevation angle direction, and when the irradiation axis is oriented in the depression angle, the lower surface f of the front end portion of the reflector E is the shoulder portion d of the body D. To interfere with
The maximum depression angle is limited to about 30 degrees. Therefore, there is a problem that the irradiation area is extremely small.

In order to secure the maximum depression angle of about 30 degrees or more, it is conceivable to set a larger vertical distance between the reflector E and the body D than in the example shown in FIG. However, even if the vertical distance is increased in this way, the introduction notch of the gas light source J, which is formed by the burner and the ignition plug disposed in front of the reflector E, must be made large. As a matter of course, the size of the reflector E is also constrained, so that it cannot be expected to secure a too large maximum depression angle.

Further, since the gas lighting element B and the body D are always integrally combined, they are bulky and cumbersome to carry, and a large space is required for storage and storage.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and has a simple structure, which enlarges the irradiation area, achieves compactness at the time of assembly / disassembly, and disassembly, and facilitates portability and storage.

Therefore, a pair of engaging claws 53a1 and 53b1 that are formed to extend radially inward from the inner peripheral curved surfaces of the engaging members 53A and 53B are always provided on the peripheral wall 52B of the cap-shaped main body 52. The slit 52b thus formed slightly protrudes radially inward of the peripheral wall 52B.

In addition, the upper wall 5 of the cap-shaped main body 52 of the connector 50A.
A plurality of (for example, four) elastic pieces 52E are cut and formed in the 2D. Pressing projections 52e are formed on the lower surfaces of the free ends of these elastic pieces 52E as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, each of the engaging claws 53a1 and 53b1 is formed with inclined surfaces 53ax and 53bx which are inclined upward toward the tip. Therefore, in the state where the flexible gas pipe 50B is connected to the central portion of the cap-shaped main body 52 of the connector 50A of FIG. 5A through the nozzle pressing valve opening member 51, the gas cylinder 4 as shown in FIG.
