Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Lighters with a windshield wall surrounding the burner are already known, but the windshield wall is useless when using the lighter in a place where there is no wind, such as indoors. Instead, the cigarette must be ignited with the tip of the flame emitted from a relatively small hole provided in the top plate or side plate forming the windshield wall, which is inconvenient in use.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel lighter that can be used in windy locations while being substantially windproof, without the need for a dedicated windshield wall, thus eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks. It is in.

To this end, the lighter of the present invention is a type of lighter in which the gas discharge valve opens and closes in conjunction with the opening and closing of the cap. A hole is provided, and this window hole can be opened and closed by a cover plate, and the cover plate is associated with the gas discharge valve, so that the valve is opened and closed in conjunction with opening and closing of the cover plate alone.

This will be explained in detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body case, in which an ignition mechanism 2 is installed above a fuel tank (not shown) housed in the lower half.

The ignition mechanism 2 is mounted on a mounting base 3 inserted through the upper opening of the main body case 1, and projects above the main body case 1.

4 is located on the side of the ignition mechanism 2, and the main body case 1
It is a burner that protrudes above.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a valve internal cylinder installed in the fuel tank, and an internal gas discharge valve (not shown) opens and closes by vertical movement of a passive rod 6 to which upward force is applied by a spring. Gas is discharged from the burner 4 or it is stopped.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a cap whose base end edge portion 7' is rotatably attached to one side edge portion 1' of the main case 1, and when the cap 7 is closed, it covers the top surface of the main case 1, including the ignition mechanism 2 and burner 4, which protrude above the main case 1.

8 is a part of the top plate 7'' of the cap 7,
A window hole 9 is provided in a required range above the burner 4 when the lid is closed, and a lid plate 9 is provided to open and close the window hole 8. A base end portion having a cam 9' is rotatably attached.

11 is a rotating arm with an approximately L-shape on the side, and its horizontal rod 1
1' is rotatably supported on the mounting base 3 by a shaft 12, and the lower surface of the upright rod 11'' is placed on the passive rod 6, whereby the upper end surface of the upright rod 11'' is , is located close to the base end portion of the cover plate 9 having the cam 9'.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an abutment plate whose free end is resiliently pressed against the base end portion having the cam 9' of the cover plate 9, and whose base end is resiliently attached to the pedestal 14 fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 7'' of the cap 7. It is fixed with screws 15. Due to the elastic contact of the abutting bullet plate 12, the window hole 8 of the cover plate 9 is opened (third and fourth
) and the closed state (FIGS. 1 and 2).

Further, the upper end surface of the passive rod 6 is always brought into contact with the lower surface of the abutting bullet plate 13 due to its upward force.

16 is a projection 3' of the base body 3 near the burner 4;
and the pin 17' of the hanging piece 17 from the cap 7.
is due to the elastic force of the internal spring 18,
Open state (Fig. 1) and closed state (Fig. 2, 3, 4)
(Fig.), the spring 18 is kept biased beyond its dead point.

When the cap 7 and lid plate 9 are in the closed state as shown in FIG. 2, the passive rod 6 is pushed down against the upward force of the spring in the valve internal cylinder 5, and the gas discharge valve of the valve internal cylinder 5 is closed. .

Now, install cap 7 using the same method as before.
That is, when the main body case 1 is pushed up with the thumb of the hand gripping it and the lid is opened against the spring 18, the passive rod 6 rotates the rotating arm 11 upward by the upward force exerted by the spring inside the valve inner cylinder 5. As the burner 4 rises, the gas discharge valve opens and gas is discharged from the burner 4, making it ready for ignition (Fig. 1).

Furthermore, if the window hole 8 is opened by forcibly rotating the cover plate 9 around the shaft 10 with the cap 7 closed, the pressing of the abutment bullet plate 13 by the cam 9' of the cover plate 9 will be alleviated. Therefore, the passive rod 6 rises in the same manner as described above, opens the gas discharge valve, and becomes ready to discharge gas from the burner 4 and ignite it (FIGS. 3 and 4).

Therefore, when attempting to smoke, it is possible to appropriately select whether to open only the lid plate 9 to ignite or to open the entire cap 7 to ignite, depending on necessity, ie, the presence or absence of wind.

When only the lid plate 9 is opened and the fire is ignited, the cap 7 acts as a windshield and the flame rises into the window hole 8.

In the figure, reference numeral 19 is an air hole formed in the cap 7, and 20 is a groove provided on the inner surface of the inner spring cylinder 16, through which the upright rod 11'' of the rotating arm 11 is inserted and guided.

As is clear from the above, according to the lighter of the present invention, gas can be discharged and ignited by opening the window hole provided in the cap by operating the lid plate provided there. The cap itself acts as a windshield wall. Furthermore, by opening the entire cap, it can be used without a windshield.

As described above, the lighter of the present invention is a novel product that substantially retains the advantages of a lighter with a windshield while eliminating the drawbacks of the conventional lighter with a dedicated windshield.
