Definitions

  • this lever is caused to engage from beneath the projection usually carried by or formed on the valve stem so as to open the valve member in combination with a head to which said cover is pivotally mounted and through which extends the mechanism associated with the reservoir.
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational and sectional view taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. 3, and
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view from above with a fragmentary section taken along the line 3-3 of FIG. 1.
  • the gas cigarette-lighter according to this invention comprises a head '1 having pivotally mounted thereto a cover 2 and to which a body or case 3 is adapted to be fitted from beneath.
  • the reservoir 4 comprises:
  • a well 5 projecting into the inner space of the reservoir and having a bottom bore from which emerge a wick 6 this well is adapted to receive the valve body 7 and the valve member 8 of which the upper end comprising a flange 9 constitutes the burner;
  • a blind recess 10 formed in a tubular element depending within the reservoir and enclosing the flint l1 urged by a spring 12 side wings 13 are also provided for constituting the bearings of a pivot pin 14 of a flint wheel rotatably rigid with driving or thumb wheels 15,
  • an arm 20 moving bodily with the cover 2 and pivotally connected to one end of a connecting link 21 having its other end pivotally connected in turn to a lever 22 fulcrummed at 23 to the head 1; the forked end 24 of this lever 22 is adapted, as a consequence of the shovel like movement imparted thereto by the elements 20, 21 during the opening movement of said cover 1, to engage the projection or flange 9 of valve member 8 from beneath to as to lift this member.
  • a pair of blade springs 25, 26 are provided for resiliently holding the head 3 within the case 3.
  • Spring 25 is secured permanently to the underface of head 1 and spring 26 is so hooked to this head 1 that it can tilt and thus release the claws 27 formed on this spring from recesses 28 formed in the registering portion of reservoir 4.
  • this adjustment wheel 29 adapted to be rotated from the exterior after partially extracting the case 3 from the head 1.
  • this adjustment wheel 29 may also be actuated directly from the exterior by slightly increasing its diameter and forming a cor responding notch in the upper portion of the case.
  • a gas cigarette-lighter comprising a lighter head portion; a lighter cover; arm and linkage means pivotally mounting said cover to said head portion for opening and closing movement thereof; lever means pivotally mounted on said head and operatively engaged with said arm and linkage means said lever means having at least one forked end; a gas reservoir fastened to said head portion; valve and pressurereducing mechanism associated with said reservoir extending through said head portion, said valve mechanism comprising a tubular valve member including a burner-forming head end having a projection formed thereon, said arm and linkage means, upon opening of said cover, imparting lateral and concurrent arcuate shovel-like movement to said lever means whereby the forked end engages said projection on the burner-forming head so as to open said valve member.
  • a gas cigarette-lighter as claimed in claim 1, comprising a case forming an external body for said lighter, said reservoir and said valve and pressure-reducing mechanism constituting a unitary assembly detachably insertable into said case.
