Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to an inflammable or easy burnable, single-service material assembly and with said material assembly more particularly being allotted the form of a lighting strip and even more particularly to such a lighting strip that is adapted to, in a non-compacted state, be able to present, after a lighting, an initial combustion with a generated amount of energy adapted for a primary initial lighting and a subsequent secondary combustion of the lighting strip, for a lighting provided by the same of an adjoining inflammable material, such as pieces of firewood formed from wood.
  • Inflammable, single-service material assemblies are previously known in a plurality of different embodiment examples and are intended to be highly flammable, in order to be able to provide a lighting of an adjoining inflammable mate- rial, which in a normal case consists of pieces of firewood or burnable material formed from wood.
  • inflammable material assemblies have got the form of sheets of newspapers, which have been crumpled up to a "ball" or the like, and with the paper material in the sheets of newspapers having been compacted to such a degree that it will be possible to supply air and oxygen to the material assembly.
  • Lighting paper The same consists of thin, elongate plates of pressed wood pulp, which have been impregnated with paraffin-like substance. They are placed close to the bottom of the combustion appliance or under charcoal in a grill. The combustion takes place slowly with a yellow, somewhat soot-producing, flame within a zone close to the lighting paper and since the same does not reach out to the log surfaces, the heat does not become intense enough for a rapid lighting sequence.
  • Fire-lighters These units are intended for fireplaces, outdoor fires and grills and consist of blocks of wood pulp fibres impregnated with paraffin-like substance. These compact units are impaired by the same limitation that has been stated above, the flames do not reach up close enough to the fuel surfaces, and therefore the lighting up takes longer time. The combustion takes place at a relatively low temperature, and therefore frequently a firing time, stated in an instruction for use, of approx. 15 min must be spent before the fire is completely lighted.
  • Lighting blocks These are manufactured from a liquid-absorbing material, which completely or partly has been soaked with paraffin oil-like, strongly petroleum-smelling liquid, which has been encased in a tight plastic bag. Also in this case, the flame is relatively small, yellowish and strongly sooting, and the firing time is also here approx. 15 min.
  • Paraffin bags Small sachets containing a paraffin-like substance that upon a lighting burns relatively slow. Thereby, the paraffin successively melts, but the firing time is also here approx. 15 min at a relatively low temperature.
  • Fuses The same are provided with an extra powerful matchhead and gives a concentrated seat, which only comprises a small volume.
  • Lighting fluid The same frequently consists of a petroleum product, which is cleaned to the extent that it can be used for lighting outdoor grills and outdoor fires as well. However, it is not so much used for indoor use. The disadvantage of such a liquid is the risk of leakage, and frequently it is also impractical to bring in adventurous events outdoor.
  • the centre of the roll consists of a hole, from which the inner end of the lighting strip is extractable towards one of the openings, and in that way the lighting strip can be pulled out easily without getting stuck.
  • the roll has been reeled or compressed, so that it has become quadrangular in the periphery and trace a quadrangular cross-section. Then, the same becomes space saving as surrounding packaging has been selected cubic.
  • said lighting strip in the form of a strip roll, possibly surrounded by a cardboard or paper casing, to be enclosed by a dispenser, consisting of a plastic film or plastic bag, which in the two ends thereof is tightly sealed around the strip roll, close to one end of the bag a cardboard sheet being attached, in the centre part of which a hole have been made, large enough for a passage of the strip (the free end from the centre of the roll), the hole also having been punched through the wall of the bag.
  • a dispenser consisting of a plastic film or plastic bag, which in the two ends thereof is tightly sealed around the strip roll, close to one end of the bag a cardboard sheet being attached, in the centre part of which a hole have been made, large enough for a passage of the strip (the free end from the centre of the roll), the hole also having been punched through the wall of the bag.
  • the present invention starts out from an inflammable, single-service material assembly in the form of a lighting strip, in a non-compacted state adapted to be able to present, after a lighting, an initial combustion, with a generated amount of energy adapted for a primary initial lighting and a subsequent secondary combustion of the lighting strip, for allowing to provide a lighting of an adjoining inflammable material, such as one or more pieces of firewood formed from wood.
  • the present invention teaches that the lighting strip should, in a position intended for storing, be allotted the form of a roll and should then have, at all events, two thin slender, elongate and co-ordinated strips, wound up to a compact helical shape, that the lighting strip is structured as and constituting of one or more thin paper strips and of one or more thin plastic strips, and that the lighting strip, in an unwound and non-compacted state, is so co-ordinated with the appurtenant strips thereof that a rapid lighting and a combustion of utilised paper strip and utilised plastic strip will take place.
  • said thin plastic strip alternatively plastic strips
  • said thin paper strip and said thin plastic strip should be completely or partly united to each other via opposite surfaces.
  • the lighting strip should be partly processed in such a way so that thereby, in a non-compacted state of the lighting strip, the possibility for air to pass and in that way get access to a developed seat of fire is presented, for a combustion-enhancing supply of oxygen.
  • one or more energy-raising and/or combustion-improving additional substances, such as powder, paste or liquid, are supplied to said thin paper strip and said thin plastic strip.
  • said additional substances should be able to be fixed inside a formed gap between said thin paper strip and said thin plastic strip, by the fact that adjoining and opposite strip-allotted edges are provided with one or more seals.
  • said seals should be able to be longitudinally oriented for the formation of a tunnel or a tube of utilised paper strip and utilised plastic strip, alternatively longitudinally and transversally oriented for the formation of closed pockets.
  • the paper strip should be allotted an adapted thickness, flexural stiffness and/or resilience, with strip-associated paper fibres oriented and allotted a capacity to be able to realign elastically somewhat after a crumpling up for the formation of a "baH"-structure.
  • the thickness, the flexural stiffness and/or the resilience of the paper strip and co-ordinated plastic strip are/is adapted to be able to support pieces of firewood, resting against said "baH"-structure.
  • the invention presents that the thin plastic strip should be able to consist of an environmental-friendly, high-energy, plastic material, forming carbon dioxide and water during a combustion at a free access of air.
  • the material content in and the structure of the paper strip co-ordinated with the plastic strip are mutually adapted to give a chosen balance between a structural- and stability-providing capacity and an energy- and power-releasing capacity generated during combustion.
  • the paper strip and/or the plastic strip should be able to have an edge configuration adapted for providing an embodiment that gives a tendency to and the possibility of a rapid lighting up.
  • a multistage effect allotted to the combustion should be adapted to be attained by the fact that a more highly flammable layer or a part is brought to catch fire initially, and that the same in turn is adapted to allowing to light a second layer or part, adapted to subsequently being burnt at a higher temperature.
  • the invention teaches or suggests the utilisation of additional substances adapted for a selected energy release, directly adapted to a current field of application.
  • the invention teaches that the two or more co-ordinated pa- per strips and/or plastic strips of the lighting strip should be so tightly wound up to a roll and so compactly kept that they can resist a lighting by a fire coming from outside. Furthermore, the invention teaches that a number of said lighting strips formed to a compact helical shape should be able to be co-ordinated in a dis- oral construction as individual units. Furthermore, it is taught that a number of such units very well may be coordinated to one and the same package. Between the paper strip and the plastic strip of the lighting strip, a material serving as "desiccant" is inserted. Furthermore, it is taught and suggested that said compact helical shape of the lighting strip should be surrounded by plastic, cardboard or paper, for the formation of a unit.
  • the unit should have a central hole, from which one end portion of the lighting strip is extractable.
  • the invention also teaches and suggests that the compact helical shape should, by an additional forming, be allotted a shape bordering on a quadratic ou- ter shape.
  • the inner end portion or pole of the lighting strip should be formed as and/or have a tab grippable by a hand, which tab is arranged to extend outside the compact helical shape. More particularly, it is taught that the lighting strips are constructed from a co-ordinated paper strip and a plastic strip and that the strips are allotted the same or substantially the same thickness.
  • the invention also teaches and suggests the possibility of allowing a lighting strip and a set of matches and a striking surface to be packaged as a unit, alternatively of allowing the lighting strip and a lighter to be packaged as a unit.
  • ADVANTAGES The advantages that foremost may be regarded to be associated with an inflammable, single-service material assembly is that, in this way, conditions have been created for the material assembly, in a position intended for storing, to be allotted the form of a roll, structured with compact turns and forming a helical shape, that the lighting strip in a simple way should be able to be removed from the same compact helical shape and crumpled up to a "baH"-structure and where the same "ball" will serve as support to an inflammable material resting thereon. Thanks to the lighting strip consisting of one or more thin paper strips and of one or more thin plastic strips, conditions are created in order to increase the content of energy and the generation of power in relation to paper matter alone.

  • the thickness, the flexural stiffness and/or the resilience of the paper strip 10' and the thickness, the flexural stiffness and/or the resilience of a co-ordinated plastic strip should be adapted to be able to support pieces of firewood 6, 6a, 6b resting against said "ball"-structure 9, which is illustrated in Figure 6.
  • the plastic strip 10" consists of an environmental-friendly, high-energy, plastic material, forming carbon dioxide and water during a combustion at a free access of air.

  • the paper strip 10' and/or the plastic strip 10" have/has an edge configuration 1k and 1m, respectively, with the same edge configuration being adapted for providing an embodiment that gives a tendency to and the possibility of a rapid lighting up.
  • the edge configuration is illustrated, as well as in Figure 1 , as point- shaped short sections (10b) (10c). It is evident that the form of the same short sections 1 k, 1 m very well may be allotted other shapes than the one shown in Figures 4A, 4B and 4C, where Figure 4C furthermore shows recesses 10k and 10m.
  • a multistage effect allotted to the combustion should be adapted to be attained by the fact that a more highly flammable layer or a part, such as the tab 12, is brought to catch fire initially, and that the same in turn is adapted to allowing to light a second adjoining layer 12a or part, oriented next to the tab 12, adapted to subsequently being burnt at a higher temperature.
  • a utilised additional substance may be adapted in terms of range and/or magnitude, and/or weight for a selected energy release, and thereby be able to be directly adapted to a current field of application.
  • two or more co-ordinated paper strips 10', (10') and/or plastic strips 10", (10") of the lighting strip are so tightly wound up to a roll and so compactly contained to a unit that it can resist a lighting by a fire coming from outside.
  • a number of said lighting strips 10 formed to a compact helical shape 1 should be able to be co-ordinated in a dispenser construction as individual units, and in that way a number of such units can be co-ordinated to one and the same package, shown in Figures 7, 8 and 9.
  • a material serving as "desiccant" may be contained.
  • Said compact helical shape of the lighting strip 10, according to Figure 1 may be surrounded by plastic, cardboard or paper, for the formation of a unit.
  • the compact helical shape, according to Figure 1 is allotted a shape bordering on a quadratic outer shape, illustrated in Figures 7 and 8.
  • the inner end portion or pole of the lighting strip 1 should be formed as and/or have a tab 12 or gripping edge grippable by a hand, which tab or edge is arranged to extend outside the compact helical shape (not shown).

  • Figure 7 where it is shown that the lighting strip 10 and a set of matches 71 and a striking surface 72 are packaged as a unit 70, while Figure 8 illustrates that the lighting strip 10 and a gas lighter 81 are packaged as a unit 80. Furthermore, it is seen from Figure 9 that a long lighting strip or a number of lighting strips 10 encasing units 90 should be able to show a central hole 91 , from which one end portion 12 of the lighting strip and the lighting strip 12a, 10 as to the rest are extractable.
  • the lighting strips 10 are intended for a use in heating stoves, tiled stoves, wood stoves, single-house boilers, for outdoor use upon lighting of fires, camp fires, outdoor grills, etc., and composed in such a way so as to be able to give a high and steady temperature rapidly at controlled combustion of the material that is used as fuel, e.g., wood, and so that the seat of fire in the shortest feasible time reaches such temperature that an almost complete combustion is attained, which from an environmental point of view is desirable.
  • the material that is used as fuel e.g., wood
  • the present invention relates to a lighting strip 10 consis- ting of a combination of different materials of paper, plastic or the like as thin strip forms that completely or partly are united to each other, wherein the strips partly may be processed in such a way that they present the largest possibility for air to pass and in that way get access to the seat of fire for combustion-enhancing supply of oxygen.
  • Due to the resilience of the paper member 10' the paper fibres and thereby the paper tend to realign also after crumpling up, which enables the formation of a "bai '-structure 9 or a "globe", which, when it is put in under the wood pieces 6, 6a, 6b, expands and reaches up under and against above-lying or adjacent wood, charcoal and/or briquettes.
  • the materials in the lighting strip 10 have been selected and composed so that they are included in a multistage system in an optimal way, aiming at the fastest feasible flashover, combustion and transfer of the heat energy to nearest layer.
  • the system works so that a more highly flam- mable part 12 of a strip composed in a particular way, preferably the outer part thereof, first is lit and after which it preheats an adjacent somewhat thicker and/or more energy- (heat-) releasing layer 12a, which, when it catches fire, in turn may release even more energy to the next adjacent layer 12b.
  • the same may consist of, for instance, a material being extraordinarily inflammable at a higher temperature, and thereby highly energy releasing.
  • the lighting strip forms a continuous line of bags having perforation between each, every second or between a suitable number of bags; which makes the strip simple to tear off.
  • the bags may contain a high-energy powder, granulate, paste or a liquid.
  • the strip can be metered (measured) in, e.g., running metres or number of bags, and a good control can be kept on the effect of supplied quantity of heat/energy, which is of importance since the need changes with regard to the combustion appliance being used (e.g., single-house boilers, heating stoves, tiled stoves, fireplaces, etc.) or upon lighting up of outdoor fires, etc., and also the properties, the quality and the dryness of the fuel being used.
  • the combustion appliance e.g., single-house boilers, heating stoves, tiled stoves, fireplaces, etc.
  • the present invention particularly teaches and suggests that the known technique is supplemented or is replaced with a material in the form of strips consisting of two or more layers, which are given such a dimension and shape that an optimal state is attained after lighting, involving that the flames from the lighting strips are as close as possible to the wood for rapid, efficient heat transfer to the wood surfaces.
  • a material in the form of strips consisting of two or more layers, which are given such a dimension and shape that an optimal state is attained after lighting, involving that the flames from the lighting strips are as close as possible to the wood for rapid, efficient heat transfer to the wood surfaces.
  • This is achieved by the fact that the stiff component among layers gives the material in the crumpled up "ball"-structure 9 strength to raise due to the ten- dency thereof to recover the original shape thereof.
  • the high-energy component e.g., polyethylene (PE) substantially lacks resilience or stiffness and would thereby, on one hand, lack the possibility of reaching up to the vicinity of the wood surfaces 6, 6a, 6b by itself, and on the other hand melt down to a drip or lump, and would in that way lose the capacity of a rapid combustion as a consequence of the air does not having the possibility of reaching an area large enough. Thanks to the covering or putting up of the plastic 10" on a suffer substance, such as for instance paper, a desired exposure to the air flow as well as to the radiant heat from the surroundings being multiplied. Furthermore, the stiff material 10', which here preferably is intended to consist of paper, has to be completely dry upon the lighting.
  • PE polyethylene
  • the paper fibres are most stiff and in that way can keep the shape thereof, and also partly recover it after crumpling up 9. It is a known fact that a paper that has been lying down for a long time and dry gets an increased stiffness. Owing to an efficient, tight and moisture-protective dispenser, the same property of the paper may be maintained.
  • the dispenser may also be manufactured from polyethylene, which is an environmental-friendly, watertight as well as moisture-proof material. In order to guarantee the tightness of the dispenser, the same is made as a bag (the material of the bag is extruded as a tube and lacks joints), and after loading of the contents, it is welded in both ends, which gives a good tightness.
  • the opening device 91 which has been accounted for above in connection with Figure 9, aims at guaranteeing that the package during storage and distribution is hermetically closed, up to the opening.
  • the object in the construction is the same as for a drug package, on which particular requirements are made.
  • the lighting strips 10', 10" are composed of one or more layers or strips, and are of such a nature that the same retain a porous structure and configuration also after compression or crumpling up 9. In that way, the air (oxygen) can pass easier and contribute to a faster and more intense combustion process.
  • the lighting strip 10', 10" is constructed from a stiffer material, e.g., paper, which is combined with other environmental-friendly, high-energy, high- temperature generating substances such as, e.g., plastic.
  • a stiffer material e.g., paper
  • other environmental-friendly, high-energy, high- temperature generating substances such as, e.g., plastic.
  • a firmer matrix is obtained, which due to the stiffness thereof prevents the material from collapsing completely upon compression.
  • the material assumes the ideal form of a loose "clue” or a "balF'-structure 9 that permits the air to pass straight through, whereby the warm air from the just lit portion of the "balF'-structure becomes lit.
  • the material combination is so adapted that the combustion occurs rapidly but optimally, so that surrounding wood or other inflammable substances have the time to absorb the heat from the flames and the hot air, so that they are preheated in order to catch fire rapidly. From the instant when a match (or a lighter) initiates the fire, it takes nor- mally approx. 10-20 seconds until the "ball"-structure 9 is completely in flames.
  • the strong heat makes that surrounding fuel 6, 6a, 6b catches fire rapidly and burns properly, so that larger pieces of wood may be put on and a hot fire is attained in considerably shorter time than by conventional methods.
  • the entire fire will more rapidly attain the optimal temperature that is required for a more complete combustion, and thereby the emissions of uncombusted hydrocarbons and other harmful gases will decrease.
  • the materials used in the above-described material combinations are relatively inexpensive, since they consist of commonly occurring qualities of paper, plastic coated paper and/or film of polyethylene, which all readily may be cut to slender strips in thickness and width that presents the best yield.
  • paper of a thickness of 60 g/m 2 is used, coated with a PE-thickness of 15 g/m 2 , which has been sealed against a PE-film of 60 g/m 2 , the strip width (tape width) being approx.
  • a small bag containing silica gel (desiccant) or the like that absorbs moisture is enclosed, in case a leakage in the dispenser has occurred.
  • the powder, granulate, paste or liquid additives between the different material layers mentioned elsewhere, may be adapted to increase the flammability further.
  • the advantage may also be taken into consideration that, as the contents of the dispenser decrease, it may be pressed together and is in that way occupying less space, since the contents thereof are deformable. This is of importance in camping, expeditions, etc., when there is little space available.
  • the proper dispenser is also completely made from inflammable and environmental-friendly material.
  • Household rolls 90 contain approx. 500 running metres, while camping packages accommodate approx. 150 running metres and the single-service container accommodates approx. 15 running metres.
  • the toothed edge of "the bib” allows exact and simple tearing off of the lighting strip 10. This is of importance since the re-closing of "the bib", which should close tightly across the strip and the hole, can be made easier.
  • advantages may be given in particular in respect of the purpose they are intended for:
  • the portion pack of lighting strip is intended for a single service, as auxiliary equipment, always accessible in emergencies.
  • a lighting strip 10 of approx. 15 m in the form of a roll.
  • a desiccant bag is contained. The contents are encased in a tight plastic bag, provided with a tear initiation, of such a nature that the bag is easy to open.

Abstract

Föreliggande uppfinning omfattar en brännbar, för engångsbruk avsedd, materialansamling (1) i form av en tänd-remsa (10), anpassad att i ett icke kompakterat tillstånd kunna erbjuda, efter en antändning, en initial förbränning med en utvecklad energimängd anpassad för en initial antändning och en efterföljande sekundär förbränning, för en antändning av ett intillvarande brännbart material (6, 6a, 6b), som av trä formade vedstycken. Tändremsan (10) är, vid ett för en förvaring avsett läge, tilldelad formen av en rulle och uppvisar i vart fall två tunna smala, långsträckta och samordnade remsor (10', 10"), upplindade till en kompakt spiralform. Tändremsan (10) är strukturerade som och utgörande av i vart fall en tunn pappersremsa (10') och av i vart fall en tunn plastremsa (10") och att tändremsan (10), i ett avlindat och icke-kompakterat tillstånd (9), är så samordnad att en snabb antändning och en förbränning av pappersremsan (10') och plastremsan (10") kommer att ske.
