Description

BRIQUET A GAZ COMPORTANT UN SYSTEME D'ALLUMAGE DE GAS LIGHTER COMPRISING A LIGHTING SYSTEM OF
SECURITESECURITY
La présente invention concerne un briquet à gaz comportant un système d'allumage de sécurité. Un briquet à gaz comprend généralement un réservoir destiné à contenir un gaz de pétrole liquéfié, une soupape montée sur le réservoir permettant au gaz de sortir du réservoir, un système d'ouverture et de fermeture du débit de gaz commandé par un levier, un système de régulation du débit de gaz ainsi qu'un système d'allumage. De façon connue, ce dernier comporte une pierre coopérant avec une molette et, le plus souvent, un capot de protection. La molette est montée sur un axe entre deux entraîneurs. La molette est de forme cylindrique et les entraîneurs présentent la forme d'un disque d'un diamètre sensiblement supérieur à celui de la molette. La tranche des entraîneurs présente des aspérités la rendant rugueuse. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut facilement entraîner la molette avec un doigt, car le doigt ne glisse pas sur les entraîneurs.The present invention relates to a gas lighter comprising a safety ignition system. A gas lighter generally comprises a tank intended to contain a liquefied petroleum gas, a valve mounted on the tank allowing the gas to leave the tank, a system for opening and closing the flow of gas controlled by a lever, a system regulating the gas flow and an ignition system. In known manner, the latter comprises a stone cooperating with a wheel and, most often, a protective cover. The wheel is mounted on an axis between two coaches. The wheel is cylindrical in shape and the coaches have the shape of a disc with a diameter substantially greater than that of the wheel. The edge of the coaches has roughness making it rough. Thus, a user can easily drive the wheel with a finger, because the finger does not slide on the coaches.
Lorsque la molette, en contact avec la pierre, est mise en rotation par l'intermédiaire des entraîneurs et du doigt de l'utilisateur, une gerbe d'étincelles est créée et est suivie, par l'action de ce même doigt sur le levier d'ouverture des gaz, d'une libération d'une quantité de gaz. La gerbe d'étincelles enflamme alors le gaz en produisant une flamme qui jaillit au-dessus du capot.When the wheel, in contact with the stone, is rotated by means of the coaches and the user's finger, a shower of sparks is created and is followed, by the action of this same finger on the lever opening of gases, release of a quantity of gas. The jet of sparks then ignites the gas, producing a flame which spurts above the hood.
Un tel système nécessite donc déjà une action positive de la part de l'utilisateur pour produire et maintenir une flamme et nécessite deux mouvements indépendants l'un de l'autre -rotation de la molette, action sur le levier d'ouverture de gaz- pour produire une flamme.Such a system therefore already requires a positive action on the part of the user to produce and maintain a flame and requires two movements independent of each other -rotation of the thumb wheel, action on the gas opening lever- to produce a flame.
Cependant, on recherche à accroître la difficulté à se servir de tels briquets, pour que des enfants de moins de cinq ans ne puissent pas produire de flammes avec ceux-ci.However, efforts are being made to increase the difficulty of using such lighters, so that children under the age of five cannot produce flames with them.
Il existe déjà des briquets pour lesquels une difficulté supplémentaire doit être surmontée pour produire une flamme et plusieurs brevets ou demandes de brevets décrivant de tels briquets. Ainsi, les brevets US 5 125 829, US 5 002 482 ou les demandes internationales de brevets WO-93/17282, WO-95/04247. Les briquets décrits dans ces documents présentent, par rapport à un briquet de l'art antérieur, un dispositif supplémentaire rendant l'accès aux entraîneurs de la molette plus difficile ou bloquant le mouvement de levier d'ouverture de gaz. De ce fait, ces briquets présentent une structure complexe entraînant un coût de fabrication élevé. De plus, l'utilisation de ces briquets est compliquée et nécessite un mode d'emploi. Même des adultes peuvent éprouver quelques difficultés pour se servir de tels briquets et ont besoin d'un apprentissage préalable. Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un briquet facilement utilisable par un adulte, mais difficilement utilisable par un enfant, notamment un enfant de moins de cinq ans, qui présente peu de modifications par rapport à un briquet du type précité.There are already lighters for which an additional difficulty must be overcome to produce a flame and several patents or patent applications describing such lighters. Thus, US patents 5,125,829, US 5,002,482 or international patent applications WO-93/17282, WO-95/04247. The lighters described in these documents have, compared to a lighter of the prior art, an additional device making access to the rollers of the thumb wheel more difficult or blocking the movement of the gas opening lever. Therefore, these lighters have a complex structure resulting in a high manufacturing cost. In addition, the use of these lighters is complicated and requires instructions. Even adults may find it difficult to use such lighters and require prior learning. The object of the present invention is to provide a lighter which can be easily used by an adult, but which is difficult to use by a child, in particular a child under the age of five, which has few modifications compared to a lighter of the aforementioned type.
Un autre but de l'invention est de fournir un système de sécurité fiable, inviolable et constamment en action, sans intervention préalable.Another object of the invention is to provide a reliable security system, inviolable and constantly in action, without prior intervention.
Un autre objectif est d'avoir un fonctionnement du briquet aussi proche que possible du fonctionnement d'un briquet du type précité, de telle sorte que l'utilisateur n'ait besoin ni d'instructions, ni d'un apprentissage préalable pour se servir du briquet.Another objective is to have an operation of the lighter as close as possible to the operation of a lighter of the aforementioned type, so that the user does not need either instructions or prior learning to use it. lighter.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un briquet à gaz de type comportant un réservoir destiné à contenir un gaz de pétrole liquéfié, une soupape montée sur le réservoir et permettant au gaz de sortir du réservoir, un système d'ouverture et de fermeture du débit de gaz, ainsi qu'un système d'allumage présentant une pierre coopérant avec une molette entraînée en rotation par au moins un entraîneur monté coaxialement à la molette.To this end, the invention provides a gas lighter of the type comprising a reservoir intended to contain a liquefied petroleum gas, a valve mounted on the reservoir and allowing the gas to exit the reservoir, an opening and closing system for the gas flow, as well as an ignition system having a stone cooperating with a wheel driven in rotation by at least one driver mounted coaxially with the wheel.
Selon l'invention, la surface périphérique de chaque entraîneur destinée à venir au contact d'un doigt d'un utilisateur, est lisse. Ainsi, pour entraîner la molette par l'intermédiaire de l'entraîneur, un utilisateur doit exercer sur celui-ci une force comportant une composante radiale importante et il doit bien accompagner cet entraîneur dans son mouvement de rotation pour générer des étincelles. Le mouvement fait par l'utilisateur pour se servir du briquet est alors le même que celui qu'il fait pour se servir d'un briquet de l'art antérieur, mais il doit mieux accompagner le mouvement de l'entraîneur en exerçant une force, essentiellement radiale, plus importante. De ce fait, un enfant ne peut que difficilement se servir d'un tel briquet.According to the invention, the peripheral surface of each coach intended to come into contact with a finger of a user is smooth. Thus, to drive the wheel through the trainer, a user must exert on it a force comprising a large radial component and he must accompany this trainer in its rotational movement to generate sparks. The movement made by the user to use the lighter is then the same as that which he makes to use a lighter of the prior art, but it must better accompany the movement of the trainer by exerting a force. , essentially radial, larger. Therefore, a child can hardly use such a lighter.
En outre, par rapport à un briquet de l'art antérieur, les modifications apportées ne sont pas importantes, puisque seuls les entraîneurs sont modifiés.In addition, compared to a lighter of the prior art, the modifications made are not significant, since only the coaches are modified.
Dans un briquet selon l'invention, de préférence, la molette est une molette de forme cylindrique montée sur un axe entre deux entraîneurs en forme générale de disque de diamètre sensiblement supérieur au diamètre de la molette. Cette configuration permet un bon entraînement de la molette par les entraîneurs.In a lighter according to the invention, preferably, the wheel is a wheel of cylindrical shape mounted on an axis between two coaches in the general shape of a disc of diameter substantially greater than the diameter of the wheel. This configuration allows good training of the wheel by the coaches.
Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse, chaque entraîneur est un disque circulaire.In an advantageous embodiment, each coach is a circular disc.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation, chaque entraîneur est en forme générale de disque, dont la surface périphérique présente des ondulations. Ce profil des entraîneurs favorise leur actionnement, sans toutefois permettre leur manoeuvre par un jeune enfant.In another embodiment, each driver is in the general shape of a disc, the peripheral surface of which has undulations. This profile of coaches promotes their actuation, without however allowing their operation by a young child.
De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce briquet à gaz.In any case, the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing, representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this gas lighter.
Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un briquet selon l'invention, etFIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lighter according to the invention, and
Figure 2 est une vue de côté, partiellement en coupe et à échelle agrandie, du briquet de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a side view, partially in section and on an enlarged scale, of the lighter of Figure 1.
Sur les figures 1 et 2, on reconnaît un briquet à gaz présentant, de manière connue, un corps 1 faisant office de réservoir et destiné à contenir du gaz de pétrole liquéfié.In Figures 1 and 2, we recognize a gas lighter having, in known manner, a body 1 acting as a reservoir and intended to contain liquefied petroleum gas.
Sur sa partie supérieure, le réservoir est muni d'une soupape 2 permettant au gaz de s'échapper lorsque la soupape 2 est en position ouverte. Un levier 3 commande l'ouverture et la fermeture de la soupape 2. Un ressort 4 agit sur le levier 3, de telle sorte qu'en position de repos, la soupape 2 est fermée. La partie du levier 3 située à l'opposé de la soupape 2 est actionnée par un utilisateur, lorsque ce dernier souhaite que du gaz s'échappe du réservoir, pour alimenter une flamme par exemple. Le briquet comporte aussi un système d'allumage permettant d'enflammer le gaz sortant par la soupape 2. Ce système comprend une pierre à briquet 5 et une molette 6. Cette dernière est montée sur un axe 7 et peut tourner autour de celui-ci. Elle est de forme cylindrique et sa surface périphérique est moletée.On its upper part, the tank is provided with a valve 2 allowing the gas to escape when the valve 2 is in the open position. A lever 3 controls the opening and closing of the valve 2. A spring 4 acts on the lever 3, so that in the rest position, the valve 2 is closed. The part of the lever 3 located opposite the valve 2 is actuated by a user, when the latter wishes gas to escape from the reservoir, to supply a flame for example. The lighter also includes an ignition system for igniting the gas leaving through the valve 2. This system includes a lighter stone 5 and a thumb wheel 6. The latter is mounted on an axis 7 and can rotate around it. . It is cylindrical in shape and its peripheral surface is knurled.
La pierre à briquet 5 prend appui radialement sur la molette 6. Un ressort 8 la maintient en appui. Ainsi, lorsque la molette 6 tourne autour de son axe 7, des étincelles sont produites. Celles-ci peuvent enflammer du gaz s'échappant par la soupape 2. Coaxialement à la molette 6, deux entraîneurs 9 sont montés de part et d'autre de la molette 6. Ces entraîneurs 9 peuvent ne former qu'une seule pièce avec la molette 6, ou bien il peut s'agir de pièces distinctes rendues solidaires de la molette 6.The lighter stone 5 bears radially on the wheel 6. A spring 8 keeps it in support. Thus, when the wheel 6 rotates about its axis 7, sparks are produced. These can ignite gas escaping through the valve 2. Coaxially with the wheel 6, two coaches 9 are mounted on either side of the wheel 6. These coaches 9 may form a single piece with the wheel 6, or they may be separate parts made integral with wheel 6.
Ces entraîneurs 9 sont des disques circulaires, dont la surface périphérique formant la tranche est lisse. Ainsi, le coefficient de friction entre le doigt d'un utilisateur et ces entraîneurs 9 est relativement faible.These coaches 9 are circular discs, the peripheral surface of which forms the edge is smooth. Thus, the coefficient of friction between the finger of a user and these coaches 9 is relatively low.
Afin de pouvoir entraîner la molette 6 en rotation, l'utilisateur place un doigt 10 sur les entraîneurs 9, du côté opposé à la pierre 5. Il appuie sur ces entraîneurs 9 avec une force présentant une composante radiale élevée. Afin de poursuivre l'entraînement en rotation, le doigt 10 doit continuer à exercer une force présentant une composante radiale élevée et en même temps suivre le mouvement des entraîneurs 9. Le doigt 10 continue sa course jusqu'à venir au contact du levier 3. Par rapport à un briquet de l'art antérieur à entraîneurs rugueux, le doigt de l'utilisateur doit accompagner la rotation de la molette sur un angle de rotation relativement élevé. La prise de molette est volontairement accentuée en terme d'angle de rotation.In order to be able to drive the wheel 6 in rotation, the user places a finger 10 on the coaches 9, on the side opposite to the stone 5. He presses on these coaches 9 with a force having a high radial component. In order to continue the rotational drive, the finger 10 must continue to exert a force having a high radial component and at the same time follow the movement of the coaches 9. The finger 10 continues its race until it comes into contact with the lever 3. Compared to a lighter of the prior art with rough coaches, the user's finger must accompany the rotation of the wheel on a relatively high angle of rotation. The wheel grip is deliberately accentuated in terms of angle of rotation.
Si la force radiale exercée n'est pas suffisante, il n'y a pas formation d'étincelles. De plus, si le doigt n'accompagne pas le mouvement de la molette 6, lorsqu'il arrive sur le levier 3, il n'y a plus d'étincelle et le gaz ne s'enflamme pas.If the radial force exerted is not sufficient, there is no sparking. In addition, if the finger does not accompany the movement of the thumbwheel 6, when it arrives on the lever 3, there is no longer any spark and the gas does not ignite.
Du fait de la force relativement importante à exercer et du fait qu'il faut suivre le mouvement des entraîneurs sur un angle de rotation relativement important, il est difficile à des enfants de se servir du briquet décrit ci-dessus. Cependant, un adulte retrouve là un briquet dont le mode d'emploi est identique à celui de briquets semblables, mais présentant des entraîneurs à surface rugueuse. Les seules différences d'utilisation sont qu'il doit exercer une force plus importante pour faire tourner la molette et qu'il doit mieux accompagner le mouvement de celle-ci avec son doigt.Because of the relatively large force to be exerted and the fact that the movement of the coaches must be followed over a relatively large angle of rotation, it is difficult for children to use the lighter described above. However, an adult finds there a lighter whose instructions for use are identical to that of similar lighters, but having coaches with a rough surface. The only differences in use are that he must exert a greater force to rotate the dial and that he must better accompany the movement of the latter with his finger.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas au mode d'exécution de l'invention décrit ci-dessus à titre d'exemple non limitatif, mais elle en englobe au contraire toutes les variantes.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment of the invention described above by way of non-limiting example, but on the contrary encompasses all variants thereof.
Ainsi, par exemple, il pourrait n'y avoir qu'un seul entraîneur pour faire tourner la molette.So, for example, there could be only one trainer to turn the dial.
La surface de P(ou des) entraîneur(s) est lisse, mais elle n'est pas forcément circulaire. Des ondulations pourraient être prévues sur la tranche des entraîneurs. The surface of P (or the) trainer (s) is smooth, but it is not necessarily circular. Ripples could be expected on the side of the coaches.
