Definitions
- Examples of the efforts of the prior art to eliminate the spark wheel and ilint include; batteries which heat a glow coil so that the wick of the lighter may be ignited (as shown in U.S. Patent No. 1,963,345, issued June 19, 1934, to Zwilling); the use of catalytic means to cause the fuel to ignite (as shown in U.S. Patent No. 2,052,111, issued August 25, 1936, to Reilly).
- Still ⁇ another object of the present invention is to provide electrical means of ⁇ spark generation which does not require the necessity of a battery or other elec-tric power storalge means.
- piezoelectric element In the specification the generic term piezoelectric element is used.
- Well known and commercially available piezoelectric element materials are Rochelle salt, barium titanates, lead metaniobates and a combination of lead zirconate and lead titanate.
- Piezoelectricity is the generation of electric change in a substance :by a mechanical stress.
- a -discussion of the piezoelectric effec-t is found in the Encyclopedia Britannica under the title Piezoelectricity by Hans Jatfee.
- an improved valve and burner construction may advantageously be used. It has been found that a mixture of air and gaseous fuel wherein the gas (such -as butane) comprises about 2 to 10 percent of the mixture is readily ignited by a spark.
- the present invention provides an arrangement whereby a piezoelectric element is used in cooperation with an improved valve ⁇ structure to permit gaseous fuel to be ignited without the necessity of a spark wheel Aand int.
- FIGURE ⁇ l is ⁇ a perspective view of a cigarette lighter in accordance with the present invention.
- FIGURE 2 is a broken, central vertical sectional view, on an enlarged scale, of the lighter of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 3 is a broken, top plan sectional view, on an enlarged scale, ot the lighter of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 4 is la ibroken, ⁇ front vertical sectional view on an enlarged scale, -of the lighter of FIGURE l;
- FIGURE 5 is -a schematic view lof 'a toggle arrangement for creating electrical stress in the piezoelectric element
- FIGURE 6 is an enlarged sectional view of the burner valve and air-gas mixer shown in FIGURE 2.
- a ⁇ cigarette lighter 10 in accordance with the present invention is shown.
- the lighter 10 has an outer casing 12 in which a ⁇ fuel compartment 14 is contained.
- a ⁇ fuel compartment 14 is contained in this fuel compartment 14 liquied gas is stored under pressure.
- 'Ihe usual gas stored in such compartments for use in cigarette lighters is butane.
- the gas compartment 14 is shown as a disposable tank similar to that found in U.S. Patent No. 2,943,471, issued July 5, 1960, to Newman. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to such a disposable tank but may also include a lxed storage compartment with an outside iller valve such as shown in U.S. Patent No. 2,743,597, issued May l, 1956, to Newman.
- valve 16 and burner 118 combination of the well known lift or plunger type.
- Such 'a construction is also shown in U.S. Patent No. 2,743,597, issued M-ay l, 1956, to Newman.
- valve 16 controls the amount of gas which is permitted to flow through the burner 18.
- a through axial bore 17 is found. This bore 17 is open to the atmosphere and also communicates with the valve 16. It is through the bore 17 that gas escapes to the atmosphere.
- an air-gas mixer 20 is provided.
- the air-gas mixer 20 also has a through bore 22 and the bore 22 has a flared opening 24 at its lower end.
- side ports 26 are provided. AThe side ports 26 are open to the atmosphere through an annular opening 28 in the upper portion of the mixer 20.
- the head mechanism 27 for activating the gas valve 16 and furnishing the necessary spark to ignite the gas from the burner 18.
- the head mechanism 27 has an outer shell casing 29 with a top flange opening O and an inner mounting frame 33 for the various components of the mechanism.
- valve 16 is opened by means of a valve lifter 30 which is pivoted at point 32 and activated by a pressure iinger- ..9 piece 34.
- valve lifter 3i which has 4a bifurcated end 31 adjacent to the burner 13, pivots about point 32 causing the upper end of the burner 18 to be raised, opening the valve 16 and allowing gas to escape from the compartment 14, through the valve 16 and then from the burner 18.
- the pressure of the rush of gas into the air-gas mixer 20 causes air to be sucked in through the ared opening 24.
- This air-gas mixture is properly mixed as it approaches the top opening 23 in the mixer 2t) and some of the ⁇ air-gas mixture tiows out through the side ports 26 and upwardly towards the opening 28.
- valve lifter 30 When the rear portion of the finger-piece 34 is fully depressed the valve lifter 30 has raised the burner 18 to a mating position with the liared opening 24 of the mixer 20, thus sealing off the ow of air through the opening 24.
- the initial mixture of gas and air through the top openings 23 and 28 of the mixer 20 contains only about 10 percent or less of gas. This is due to the accumulation of air in the through bore 22 and the iiow of air through the flared opening 24.
- This initial ow of air-gas mixture, particularly through the opening 28 is ignited by means of a spark which is generated by a piezoelectric spark generating mechanism 36.
- the piezoelectric spark generating mechanism 36 in :the illustrated embodiment of FIGURES 2, 3 and 4 is comprised of a piezoelectric element 38 which is held in ⁇ a seat support of a suitable material such as metal with insulation 39 protecting the element.
- the seat support 40 is comprised of a U-shaped member 41 which is fixedly mounted on a fixed position pivot shaft 42 and a back-up insulation piece 43. Also mounted on the pivot 42 is a cam 44.
- the pressure fingerpiece 34 is also mounted on the pivot 42. However, contrary to the fixed condition of the seat support 40 and the element 38, the cam 44 and the finger-piece 34 are free to rotate about the pivot shaft 42.
- a xed and grounded electrode 52 Mounted adjacent to the top opening 23 in the air mixer 20 is a xed and grounded electrode 52.
- the electrodes 50 and 52 form a spark gap 54.
- the voltage generated in the piezoelectric element by the mechanical energy of the cam and pressure pad becomes suiiicient for ⁇ a spark discharge at the gap 54 approximately at the same time that the proper air-gas mixture is fiowing from the opening 23 in the air-gas mixer 20.
- This spark ignition at the gap 54 is sufficient to cause the gas which iiows through the burner 18 to be ignited and the gas will continue to flow through the burner as long as the finger-piece is depressed. However, when pressure is relieved on the finger-piece a return spring 56 urges it back to its normal at rest position and shuts off the flow of gas through the valve 16.
- electrodes may be attached to opposite poles of the piezoelectric element and both electrodes in that case are insulated but positioned to form the spark gap.
- FIGURE a schematic view of a toggle arrangement for creating the mechanical pressure is shown.
- the arrangement of FIGURE 5 comprises a lever 57 which has a small cam S8 pivoted at one end thereof.
- the piezoelectric element 38a is mounted in a suitable seat 40a with a pressure pad 48a at one end thereof.
- One end of the seat 40a is attached to a pivot 6i) on which is mounted one arm 62 of a toggle arrangement.
- Another arm 64 of the toggle is connected at 63 to the other end of lever 62 and also to the pressure pad 48a at 65.
- the piezoelectric element 38a, the seat 49a and the pressure pad 48a comprise the third arm of the toggle arrangement.
- the present invention is not limited to a valve structure of the lift or plunger type as illustrated herein.
- Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other means of gas iiow control are available.
