WVILLIAH TAG AND SANFORD C. SMITH, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
ELECTRIC ClGAR-LlGHTlNG DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,168, dated March 5, 1889.
Application filed July 13, 1888. Serial No. 279,809. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, \VILLIAM TAG and SANFORD C. SMITH, citizens of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have in vented a new and useful Improvement in Electric Cigar-Lighting Devices, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.
Our invention consists of improvements in electric cigar-lighters, hereinafter described, and set forth in the claims.
We are aware that it is old in gas-lighting devices to attach a wiping-electrode to a gascock and to connect such wiping-electrode to one pole of a battery, while the tip of the burner is provided with a stationary contact device attached to the other pole of the battery, the relations being such that upon turn- I ing on the gas the wiping-electrode comes in contact with the stationary electrode, prod ucing a spark, and thereby igniting the gas. The novelty of our invention lies in the adaptation of such electrodes with a novel form of cigar-lighting apparatus.
Figures 1 and 2 represent perspective views of a cigar-lighting apparatus embodying our invention, Fig. .3 being partly in section. Figs. 3 and l represent detail views.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a 1 section of gas-pipe made up of two angular parts, B and C, the lower one of which, C,carj ries the cock 1) and the wiping-electrode E, attached thereto by an insulated collar, F. The nipple or upper end of the burner H constitutes the electrode, against which the wiping elect-rode contacts, as will be understood upon inspection of the drawings.
In 3 we have shown an enlarged view of a nipple provided with a grooved guide-lip, a, adapted to guide the wiping-electrode E to the center of the burner before it releases it, so that the spark will be made directly over i the jet of gas as it is turned on. To thelower end of this nipple or burner is attached a weighted handle, G, such as is well known in devices of this character. One pole of the battery (not shown) is connected by a'wire, J, to the insulated collar F, carrying the wipingelectrode, the other pole thereof being connected directly to the upper section of gaspipe by another wire, so that the circuit from said battery is through the wiping-electrode and the nipple, when the apparatus is lifted, by way of the gas-pipe to and through the wire I.
The operation will be understood upon inspection of the drawings, it being of course understood that when the lighter is hanging in its normal position the electrodes are out of contact and the gas entirely turned off.
The two sections of pipe B and C are joined together at an angle, as shown, so as to make the apparatus compact and to give to the wiping-electrode the necessary protection and security.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure hyLetters Patent, is-
1. In an electric lighter, a gas-pipe carrying a movable wiping-electrode, in combination with a cock and a tip, the latter having a groove, substantially as described.
2. In a gas-lighter, a burner-tip constituting one electrode and having a guiding lip or groove adapted to guide the sliding electrode or wiper over the gas-jet, substantially as described.
3. A gas-lighter device having a fixed electrode and a wiping-electrode, the former bc ing provided with a guide adapted to guide the contacting cud ot the wiping-electrode over the gas-exit, substantially as described.
