Definitions

  • the most well known means for stabilizing the flame of a gas lighter apart from Windshields which only stabilize by protecting it externally, consists in axially dis posing, in the outlet aperture of the burner, a pin defining with this aperture a passage of ring-shaped section. This pin passes beyond the aperture which allows it to catch the flame and thus stabilize it.
  • a second drawback of known pins lies in the fact that at the same time they constitute the closure member ensuring that the gas is cut off: the heat which they receive is therefore transmitted to the closure seal so that it is subjected to very harsh conditions which reduces the lifespan thereof.
  • a compressed gas lighter comprising a stabilizing member not disposed in the outlet aperture of the burner, but downstream of this outlet,
  • said stabilizing member is secured to a part of the lighter such that the heat it receives is discharged without being transmitted to the burner.
  • FIGURE shows one embodiment of the invention by way of non-limiting example.
  • a stabilizing member constituted by a tongue (10) cut in a lever (11) controlling the gas outlet, this arrangement having the advantage of requiring no additional member, since the stabilizing member forms part of an already existing member, the heat received by the tongue (10) being discharged into the lever (11).
  • a compressed-gas lighter comprising a burner with an outlet for discharging a stream of combustible gas, and other stationary and movable parts inclusive of a lever controlling the gas outlet, said lighter further comprising a stabilizing member disposed downstream of said gas outlet in the gas stream where the latter is more or less mixed with the surrounding air, said stabilizing member being formed by an outwardly heat portion of said lever controlling the gas and forming a tongue portion extending above said lever and over said outlet outlet to allow the received heat to be discharged without passing through said burner.
