Description

Protective Case for Mobile Phone with Built-in Rechargeable Electric
Cigarette Lighter Description TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention describes a protective case for a mobile phone that is equipped with a built-in, rechargeable cigarette lighter.
BACKGROUND ART
Unfortunately, many people still smoke and as smokers, they have a well- known need to have a lighter on hand in order to light their cigarettes. Disposable butane lighters occasionally become depleted and must be replaced relatively often. Electric lighters are relatively expensive and many smokers tend to lose them or forget about them, so that when they need a lighter, it is not at hand. The present invention offers a good and effective solution to these problems.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Drawing No. 11 depicts the spring (82). Drawing No. 12 depicts the connection bridge (81). THE INVENTION The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a protective case for a mobile phone device with a built-in or detachable rechargeable electric cigarette lighter. The phrase "mobile phone device," as used in this application, refers to all types of smartphones, including, for example, mobile phones of the iPhone series, the Galaxy series, and so on. The protective case (1) for the mobile phone device includes a built-in electric cigarette lighter that comprises a rechargeable battery (2). a heating element (3). electrical wiring (4), an activation switch (5), and a USB socket (6) for charging the said battery. The design of the protective case (1 ) should match the mobile phone device for which it is intended. The attached drawings depict a protective case (1) intended for a mobile phone device of the iPhone series, although the invention and the application relate to and cover a variety of protective case designs intended for the variety of mobile phone devices that exist today and that will exist in the future. The protective case (1) comprises a case frame (11) such that one of its sides (hereinafter referred to as the "thick side") (111) is especially thick and hollow, and is designed to contain the components of the electric lighter.
The thick side (111) of the protective case (1) comprises an inner cavity (112), an ignition aperture (113), a charging port aperture (114), and an activation switch cut-out (115) for the activation switch (5). The thick side (111) also contains a rechargeable battery (2), a heating element (3), electrical wiring (4), and an activation switch (5). The rechargeable battery (2) can be any type of rechargeable battery with appropriate power ratings for an electric cigarette lighter. The battery's voltage can be 3.7 volts. The rechargeable battery (2) is recharged by means of a standard USB cable normally used to charge mobile phone devices and a variety of other devices, and is equipped with a USB plug, a transformer, and a connection to an electrical power source, such as the mains electricity. The heating element (3) can be any type of heating element intended for electric cigarette lighters. The rechargeable battery (2) is connected in parallel to the heating element (3) by means of electrical wiring (4) to form an electrical circuit such that the discharge of the battery (2) through the heating element (3) heats it up enough to be used to light the cigarette. The activation switch (5) is connected on one of the electrical wires (4) such that sliding the activation switch (5) causes the electrical circuit to close and the battery (2) to discharge and generate voltage across and current through the heating element (3).
The rechargeable battery (2) is located within the inner cavity such that it is connected to the USB socket (6) which in turn is positioned in the charging port aperture ( 114). The heating element (3) is located adjacent to the ignition aperture (113) and the activation switch (5) is positioned in the activation switch cut- out ( 115) .
Drawing No. 1 depicts the protective case (1), in perspective, including the case frame (11) with an integral thick side (111), an ignition aperture (113), a heating element (3). an activation switch cut-out (115), an activation switch (5), a charging port aperture (114), and a USB socket (6). Drawing No. 2 presents a side view of the protective case (1) including the case frame (11) with an integral thick side (111), an ignition aperture (113), a heating element (3), an activation switch cut-out (115), an activation switch (5), a charging port aperture (114), and a USB socket (6), Drawing No. 3 presents a schematic cross section of the protective case's integral thick side (111), which has an inner cavity that houses a rechargeable battery (2), electrical wiring (4), an activation switch (5), and a heating element (3). The second version of the invention refers to a protective case (1) that comprises a case frame (11) that protects the mobile phone device, as illustrated for example in FIG. 4. The detachable, hollow side (7) is part of the case frame, as depicted in FIG. 5, and it contains all of the lighter's components as well as the ignition aperture (113) and the charging port aperture (114). The detachable, hollow side (7) can be assembled onto the case frame (11) in such a way as to prevent its being inadvertently detached by the user. The lighter components contained within the detachable, hollow side (7) include a rechargeable battery (2), a socket (6), a connection strip (31) that includes the heating element (3) depicted in Drawing No. 9, a track (8), a connection bridge (81), and a spring (82). The connection strip (31) is attached to the detachable, hollow side (7) such that the heating element (3) is visible and accessible through the ignition aperture (113). The connection strip (31) is connected to the track (8), to which the activation switch (5) is connected as well. The connection bridge (81), which is made of a conductive material, is connected to the activation switch (5) so that when the user slides the activation switch (5), the bridge (81) closes the electrical circuit and enables the user to light the cigarette. The spring (82) causes the activation switch to return to its original position after the cigarette is lit. Use of the protective case (1), subject of the present invention patent, is very simple, efficient, and it solves a variety of problems experienced by smokers. When purchasing a protective case for a mobile phone device, the user may decide whether to purchase a regular protective case or a protective case (1) with a built-in electric cigarette lighter.
