Definitions

  • HEBHANNI'THOBENS B. A., OF STE-CROB, SWITZERLAND PYBOPHOBIG LIGHTER Application led H9101! 1B, 1931, Serial No. 523,097, in Germany April 14, 1930.
  • This invention relates to pyrophoric lghters. the pocket type in which a fuel suppli wick is ignited by means of cooperating friction wheel and pyrophoric element. While lighters of this class are'very convenient to light cigars and cigarettes, itis diiiicult to veniently introduced v from the lower rear side of the casing to-j light pipes because .the fiame on the end of the wick which ordinarily is situated' in proximity of the lighter bod cannot be introduced into the interior of t e pipe bowl.
  • the object of the invention is the pro-v vison of a pyrophoric lighter having a movable wick holder so that after ignition of the' wick the holder can ⁇ be displaced to bring the end of the wick into a position where it projects a considerable distance beyond the lighter body and thev fiame can be coninto the interior of the pipe bowl.
  • Figure 1 shows a lighter according to the invention with the wick in ignitingl position.
  • Figure 2 shows the lighter with the wick holder projecting beyond the lighter bod Figures 3, i and 5 illustrate the wic ⁇ holder displacing means with the holder in different positions.
  • Figure 6 1s a sectional elevation cia modification.
  • Figure 7' is aA section along the line of :Fig 6.
  • ylihe lighter accordinging to Figures 1 to 5 I comprises a casing 1 upon which is rotatably mounted, by means of a hinge 2, a cover 3. When this cover is opened it actuates. 1n well known manner' the friction wheel 6 by means of a 'hook i which is rotatably mounted on the cover at 5. 7 is the pyrophorusst'one.
  • rihe wick 8 is contained in a tube 9 ⁇ which can slide within a tubular guide 1G provided in the. casing 1 and which guide 1s inclined wards the upper vfront side.
  • the tube9 is provided with a rack 11 which meshes with a pinion 12 of which a s p ortion projects .through the wall of the caslng, so that the pinion can be turned by means of a finger of the hand in which the lighteris held.4
  • the tube 9 is .also provided with several circular grooves 13 situatedtbelovvr the rack 11 and with a flattened portion 14 at the end of the 1 ⁇ by means of laf stroke in the interior of the casing and the I free end 15 of the wick is adjacent to the friction wheel 6 as shown in Figure l.
  • the wheel 12 is turned by a nger of the hand in which the lighter is held, so as to raise the tube 9 .Yas'far as the rack 11 permits.
  • the end 15 of the wick takes then the position shown in Figure 2 in which it projectsl'aterally bevond the edge of the casing, and can be easily introduced into the bowl of the pipe to light the tobacco.
  • rihe tube 9 is adapted to be completely removed from the lighter body 1 for changing the wick for instance, and for this purpose the tube 9 is turned for half a revolution while one of the v,circular grooves 13 meshes with a ⁇ tooth of the wheel 12, so that theiiattened port-ion 11i ,arrives on the side of the wheel 12 (Fig. 5) vwhereupon the tube 9 can be pulled out of the 'guide 10.
  • the toothed wheel 12 is yieldingly held in a cap 18(engaged between the side walls of .the casing 1.
  • a shaft 19 traverses the walls of the casing, the cap 18 and the wheel 12 and'is providedatone of its ends with a Y has been loosened and the shaft 19 removed, the ca 18Aand the wheel 12 can be ulled out from t eir recess in the lighter bo y.
  • a pyrophoric pocket lighter comprising a casing forming a fuel reservoir, wick igniting means mounted on the casing a lon-v gitudinally movable wic'k tube slidably mounted 1n the casing, manuall operated means for raising or lowering sai wick tube relative to the casing, and means for operatin said wick ignition means when the wick tu e is in its lowered position.
  • a pyrophoric pocket lighter having a casing forming a fuel reservoir, wick i niting means mounted on the casing, a tu ular guide member extending from the upper end of the lighter casing into the interior thereof, a longitudinally movable wick tube removably -fitted in said tubular guide member, manually operable.
  • a pyrophoric pocket lighter having a casing forming a fuel reservoir, wick igniting nmeans mounted on top of the casing, a longitudinally movable wick tube slidably mounted in the casing and rejecting through the top thereof, a cover ingedly mounted on the casin'g and adapted to close over the top thereof, said cover being operatively connected to said wick igniting means whereby opening of the cover will actuate said igniting means, and manually operable means for ralsing said wick tube into a osition in which the upper end of the wie tube lprojects beyond the periphery of the casing when thecover is in open position.
  • wick ignitmg means mounted on top of the casing, a tu ular guide member extending from top of the casing into the interior thereof, said guide member being inclined relative to the vertical axis of the casing, a longitudinally movable wick tube removably positioned in said tubular guide member, a cover hingedly mounted on the casing and adapted to close over the top thereof, s aid cover being operatively connected to said wick igniting means whereby opening of the cover will actuate said igniting means, a rack formed along said wick tube, a pinion rotatably mounted in the casing and penetrating an opening in said guide member to mesh with said rack, 'said pinion projecting out of the casing to ⁇ be manually operated for raising and lowering'said l tion, and means coacting-with said inion to v wicktube when said cover
  • a pyrophoric pocket lighter In a pyrophoric pocket lighter, the comi bination, with a casing, of an 'obliquely disposed tube slidably mounted in the casing, a wick carried by said tube, and means for manually operating said tube to raise it into an elevated position in which the lighted end of the wick projects beyond the periphery of the casing.
  • a pyrophoric pocket lighter comprising ⁇ a casing, a tubular guide member obliquely vtion in which the lighted end of the wick overhangs one ed e of the casing.
