CIGAB LIGHTER.
REISSUED Application led October 16. 1926, Serial No. 142,023. Renewed February 16, 182B.
Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section on line 4-4 of Fig. 2,
Fig. 5 is a perspective View of the operating lever, and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the snuler carrying member.
As shown the device comprises a receptacle 10 elongated in horizontal cross-section and having side walls 11, l2, projecting upwardly to support the operating shaft 13 and having wings 14, 15, spaced a art and adapted to shield the wick 16 house in j a wick tube 17 secured to the upper or top wall 18 of the receptacle 10.
As shown the wick tube- 17 is provided with a perforation 19 through which a Shar implement, such as a pin, may be inserte into the Wick and by means of which instrument the wick may be pried or fed upward as it is consumed in use.
As shown, the wick 16 is shown as pro jecting into the receptacle 10 which is desirably filled with an absorbent material such as cotton which may be saturated with an inflammable material such as benzine, alcohol, or the like, as a fuel to furnish the Haine for lighting cigar, cigarette, or the like.
To produce the sparks to ignite the fuel with which the wick 16 is saturated, there is shown a pyrophoric element 20 housed in a tube 21 extending from the bottom to the top of the receptacle 10 and `projecting upwardly through the receptacle 10 and through the upper wall 18 thereof, also opening through the bottom wall 22 of the rece tacle.
Tie pyrophoric clement 2O is pressed u wardly into operative engagement with t e periphery of the wheel, as shown, by means of a coil spring 23 abutting against a screwthreaded plug 24 having a knurled head 25 for removal thereof from the tube 21. Sparks from the pyrophoric element 20 may be produced by means of an abradant surfaced wheel 26 journalled about a horizontal axis on top of the receptacle and mounted upon a polygonal surfaced sleeve 27 carrying pinion teeth 28 preferably formed integral therewith, the sleeve 27 being journalled on a shaft 29 having a head 30 slotted as at 31 for eoaction with a screwdriver and having screwthreaded engagement at 32 with a .thickened portion of the wall 12.
The wheel 26 is provided with a circular opening adapted to; turn freely upon the polygonal sleeve 27 and revolution of the wheel 26 in the operating direction is adapted to be caused by means of a. washer 33, having a squared portion so as to be revolved by means of sleeve 27. 4
'lo allow .the washer 33 to return to normal position without causing revolution of the wheel 26, a pawl projection 34 is shown struck from one side of the washer coacting with ratchet teeth 35 formed upon one side of wheel 26 and pressed laterally into contact with the ratchet teeth b means of a compression spring 36 abutting against a washer 37 mounted upon the squared portion of sleeve 27.
To cause movement of the pinion teeth 28, there is shown an o erating lever 38, shown in perspective in Big. 5, which lever is adapted to be pushed by the hand of the operator or manually operated and is pivotedat 39 to the wall 12. To spring press the operating lever 38 to normal position, there is shown a compression spring 40 seated in a depression 41 in the wall 18 of the receptacle and bearing a ainst a lug 42 carried upon the lever 38. pin 43 is desirably mounted in the lug 42 and projects into the spring 40 to prevent displacement of the sprin Upward movement of lever 38 is stoppe by a portion 44 of the edge of the device projecting over the depression 41 and between the side walls 11, 12.
With the described mechanism, downward manual pressure upon the thumb piece 46 will cause elevation of the snuffer and friction of the abradant surfaced wheel 26 upon the pyrophoric element 20 b manual force so as to cause spar to be irected against wick 16 to cause ignition of the fuel thereof, the ame being shielded by wings 14, 15.
As shown in Fig. 1, the receptacle is provided at each edge with depressions 54 55, which may be grasped by the fingers of the user while a thumb or a finger may be applied to the thumb piece 46 for actuation.
To permit renewal ofthe fuel in receptacle 10, there is shown an openin adjacent the bottom of the receptacle, whic opening is normally closed by a screw plug 56 having a flattened head 57 preferably knurled at its ed es for removal. The inner end of plug 56 1s desirably formed with a bore 58 in which a refill of pyrophoric element may be carried and retained within the plug b means of a screw cap 59 having screwthrea ed engagement with ythe inner end of plug 56, the closure at 59 being desirably slotted at 60 for coaction with a screwdriver.
The bottom of receptacle 10 is shown as u wardl curved at 61 to avoid objectiona le projection of the knurled head 25. The force of sprin 40 lifting the lever 38 will at the same tlme act on rack teeth 50 to press the snuli'er 51 to position over the wick 16.
Many changes may be made in the physical embodiment of the invention within the scope of the appended claims without de\ snufl'er for said wick, spaced arms carrying said snuffer journalled on said shaft, teeth carried by one of said arms registering with ated by the finger piece an ,pivotally mounted on the receptacle having teeth meshing with said pinion, an abradant surfacedwlleel journalled on said sleeve, a pyrophoric element resiliently pressed against said wheel,and means whereby revolution of said sleeve in one direction will cause s rks to be thrown from said element for ignition of fuel carried by said wick.
