[Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a lighter case with a windshield used for a simple lighter, particularly a disposable lighter.

[Prior art] A conventional lighter case with a windshield is constructed by installing a separate windshield member inside the lighter case body and installing it on the side wall of the lighter-side case body on the flame outlet side of the lighter. Provide a window for the eyes, expose the back of the windshield to this window, and when using the lighter outdoors in strong winds, etc., push the windshield from this window upward with the belly of your thumb. It moves and surrounds the outer peripheral area of the flame outlet with the upper end of the windshield.Then, the writer case is turned halfway in the hand, and the filer car and the fuel lever, which are the igniter of the writer, are moved. Fired by operating with the thumb of the thumb, and after using the lighter, turn the lighter case halfway in the opposite direction again with your hand, and then remove the windshield from the window through the thumb of the thumb. It was lowered and housed in a case.

In recent years, electronic ignition disposable lighters with a built-in piezoelectric element have also been marketed, but only the ignition and the fuel lever must be depressed at the time of ignition, but the above-mentioned manual operation was necessary.

Conventionally, disposable lighters and their lighter cases have been mainly used as advertising media for sales promotion, and the company name or product name is printed on the surface with colors and patterns. However, the light-hearted case of the writer had little appeal in advertising.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional lighter case, a large window is formed on the side wall to disperse the windshield and put in and out, and the back of the separate windshield is exposed from the window. Because of this, it was inconvenient to apply a wide range of colors and patterns to the entire case surface, or to use that surface as an advertising medium. However, it is well known that flooding is too much and the appealing effect is poor, and the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems. [Means for Solving the Problems] The writer case of the present invention is a writer case in which a part of the writer case body is formed as a windshield, and has a long cylindrical shape. A notch for ignition of the lighter ignition device is provided at one end of the top of the lighter, and the other end opposite to the notch for lighter has a notch which has vertical portions on both side walls of the case body. A semi-cylindrical windshield that encloses the flaming hole of the lighter is formed of a transparent plastic resin, and the upper part matches the shape of the cutout. A vertical slidable groove is formed by fitting the vertical portion of the end and the vertical portion of both ends of the cutout portion, and the respective grooves are fitted to form the writer case body and the draft shield portion. And printing and painting a substance with temperature indicating properties on the outer peripheral wall of the semicircular metal plate It is bonded, in which by the a this was fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the upper portion of the outer peripheral wall of the metallic plate the windshield unit to eliminate the problem points described above.

[Operation] In the writer case of the present invention, the writer case main body and the windshield are fitted together by fitting the grooves formed in the respective vertical portions. In this state, the light shield case becomes an integral part of the lighter case, and the windshield is pushed up by the belly of the thumb and pushed up in the vertical direction, so that the windshield is raised and the upper part is lighted. — By holding down the flame section and pushing it down, the windshield section is housed integrally with the writer case in appearance.

When the lighter is ignited in a state where the windshield portion made of the transparent plastic resin of the lighter case is raised, a nonflammable and heat-conductive metal material fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the upper portion of the windshield portion is provided. The inner wall of the cylindrical metal plate formed by the heat sink receives the heat from the flame of the inner part of the writer, and the temperature of the inner wall rises, and the heat is transmitted to the outer wall of the metal plate. The temperature of printing, coating, or sticking on the outer peripheral wall of the metal plate, characters, patterns, colors, figures, characters, etc., which are printed, coated, or sticked with a substance having an indicating characteristic, are floated. It appears, disappears, or changes color, which attracts the user's attention and leaves the impression of the advertisement strong and effective.
