Description

Feuerzeuge gehören zu den unentbehrlichen Utensilien vor allem für Raucher und Raucherinnen und sind deshalb "ständige Begleiter" ihrer Benützer. Dabei werden sie jedoch häufig verlegt und müs­sen in Handtaschen, Kleidern usw. gesucht oder umständlich her­vorgeholt werden. Auch wird das Feuerzeug oft aus Vergesslichkeit liegen gelassen.Lighters are indispensable utensils especially for smokers and are therefore "constant companions" for their users. However, they are often misplaced and have to be searched for in handbags, clothes, etc. or fetched out with difficulty. The lighter is often left out of forgetfulness.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Haltevorrichtung für ein Feuerzeug, welche diesen lästigen "Alltäglichkeiten" abhelfen und dafür sorgen soll, dass das Feuerzeug immer sogleich zur Hand ist. Die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung ist gekennzeichnet durch ein mit einem Aufhängeorgan für die Haltevorrichtung ver­sehenes Gehäuse, welches eine durch Haspelrolle und Rückholfeder gebildete Auszugeinrichtung für eine mit der Haspelrolle ver­bundene Zugleine enthält, welche durch eine Gehäuseöffnung ge­führt und zum Anbinden des Feuerzeugs bestimmt ist, wobei die Gehäuseöffnung von einem Fangschacht für das Feuerzeug umgeben ist.The present invention relates to a holding device for a lighter, which is intended to remedy these annoying "everyday occurrences" and to ensure that the lighter is always at hand. The device according to the invention is characterized by a housing provided with a suspension element for the holding device, which contains a pull-out device formed by a reel roller and return spring for a pull line connected to the reel roller, which is guided through a housing opening and is intended for connecting the lighter, the housing opening being from a shaft for the lighter is surrounded.

Mit Hilfe des Aufhängeorgans wird die Vorrichtung mit dem Feuer­zeug z.B. an der Handtasche, einer Gurtschlaufe, einem Knopfloch usw. festgemacht oder auch um den Hals oder am Handgelenk getra­gen, wodurch jegliches Suchen oder Hervorholen entfällt. Zudem ist der Kopfbereich des Feuerzeugs, welcher im Fangschacht ruht, vor Feuchtigkeit geschützt, wodurch die Zuverlässigkeit erheb­lich gesteigert wird; ebenso können Taschen, Kleider usw. nicht mehr durch Verbrennungs- und Zündstein-Rückstände verschmutzt werden. Die Haltevorrichtung eignet sich vorzüglich als Werbe­geschenk, wobei das Gehäuse als Werbeträger dient.With the help of the hanging organ, the device is attached to the lighter, for example on a handbag, a belt loop, or a buttonhole etc. fastened or worn around the neck or on the wrist, which eliminates any searching or pulling out. In addition, the head area of the lighter, which rests in the collecting shaft, is protected from moisture, which considerably increases the reliability; bags, clothes etc. can also no longer be contaminated by combustion and flint residues. The holding device is particularly suitable as a giveaway, the housing serving as an advertising medium.

Die Haltevorrichtung für das Feuerzeug 1 gemäss den Fig. 1, 2 und 4 weist ein dosenförmiges Gehäuse 10 auf, an dessen Rand ein Aufhängeorgan 11 angebracht ist. Dieses besteht hier aus einem U-förmigen Bügel, dessen einer Schenkel mit dem Gehäuse 10 fest verbunden ist und dessen anderer Schenkel mittels einem Widerhaken 12 an einem entsprechenden Fanghaken des Gehäuses sicher verankert werden kann; die offene Lage des Bügels 11 ist mit strichpunktierten Linien angedeutet. Dem Aufhängeorgan 11 gegenüberliegend ist am Gehäuse 10 bzw. an dessen Rand ein Fangschacht 13 angeformt, welcher den Kopfbereich 2 des Feuer­zeugs mit dem Zündmechanismus und der Gasdüse aufnimmt. Wie aus Fig. 4 hervorgeht, sind Gehäuse 10 und Fangschacht 13 entlang einer Trennebene 6 (Fig. 2) in zwei Hälften 10a, 13a bzw. 10b, 13b geteilt. Die gegenseitige Drehlage zwischen beiden Hälften wird z.B. mittels Stiften 14, die in Bohrungen 15 eingreifen, gesichert. Bei der Montage können die beiden Gehäusehälften miteinander verklebt oder durch Eingriff der beiden Dosenränder ineinander (Schnappverbindung) miteinander verbunden werden.The holding device for the lighter 1 according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 has a can-shaped housing 10, on the edge of which a hanging member 11 is attached. This consists of a U-shaped bracket, one leg of which is firmly connected to the housing 10 and the other leg by means of a Barb 12 can be securely anchored to a corresponding catch hook of the housing; the open position of the bracket 11 is indicated by dash-dotted lines. Opposite the suspension element 11, a catch shaft 13 is formed on the housing 10 or on the edge thereof, which receives the head region 2 of the lighter with the ignition mechanism and the gas nozzle. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the housing 10 and the collecting shaft 13 are divided into two halves 10a, 13a and 10b, 13b along a parting plane 6 (FIG. 2). The mutual rotational position between the two halves is secured, for example, by means of pins 14 which engage in bores 15. During assembly, the two housing halves can be glued to one another or connected to one another by engaging the two box edges (snap connection).

Im Innern des Gehäuses 10 befindet sich eine Auszugeinrichtung für eine Zugleine 20, welche durch eine Gehäuseöffnung 16 geführt ist, welche Oeffnung vom Fangschacht 13 umgeben ist. Der Aufbau der Auszugeinrichtung geht aus der Fig. 4 hervor: Die Einrichtung ist durch eine Haspelrolle 18 und eine Rückholfeder 19 in Form einer Spiralfeder gebildet. Das innere Ende der Feder 19 greift in einen Schlitz eines Mittelzapfens 17 am Gehäuse, während das äussere Ende mit der Haspelrolle 18 verbunden ist. An der Haspelrolle 18 ist ferner das eine Ende der Zugleine 20 befes­tigt, welche auf der Haspelrolle aufgewickelt ist, solange das Feuerzeug 1 unbenutzt bleibt und mit dem Kopfbereich 2 im Fang­schacht 13 ruht. An dem ausserhalb des Gehäuses 10 befindlichen Ende der Zugleine 20 ist das Feuerzeug 1 angebunden, und zwar vorzugsweise über einen Bügel 3, welcher am Gehäuse des Feuer­zeugs 1 so angelenkt ist, dass er über den Kopfbereich 2 oder auch zur Seite geschwenkt werden kann.In the interior of the housing 10 there is a pull-out device for a pull line 20, which is guided through a housing opening 16, which opening is surrounded by the collecting shaft 13. The structure of the pull-out device is shown in FIG. 4: The device is formed by a reel roller 18 and a return spring 19 in the form of a spiral spring. The inner end of the spring 19 engages in a slot of a central pin 17 on the housing, while the outer end is connected to the reel roller 18. On the reel roller 18, one end of the pull cord 20 is also fastened, which is wound on the reel roller as long as the lighter 1 remains unused and rests with the head region 2 in the collecting shaft 13. The lighter 1 is connected to the end of the pull line 20 located outside the housing 10, preferably via a bracket 3 which is articulated on the housing of the lighter 1 in such a way that it can be pivoted over the head region 2 or to the side.

Zum Gebrauch wird das Feuerzeug 1 ergriffen und von der z.B. an einem Kleidungsstück oder einem Handtaschenbügel usw. aufgehäng­ten Vorrichtung weggezogen. Dabei gleitet die Zugleine 20 durch die Gehäuseöffnung 16 und wickelt sich von der Haspelrolle 18 ab, wobei die Spiralfeder 19 gespannt wird. Wird das Feuerzeug 1 gemäss Fig. 3 in üblicher Weise gefasst, so wird der Schwenk­bügel 3 durch die Zugleine 20 zur Seite gezogen und das Feuer­zeug kann normal bedient werden. Wird das Feuerzeug hernach freigelassen, so wird sogleich die Zugleine 20 durch Aufwickeln auf die Haspelrolle 18 durch die gespannte Rückholfeder 19 ein­geholt, wodurch das Feuerzeug selbsttätig mit dem Kopfteil 2 wieder in den Fangschacht 13 gelangt. Die Rückholfeder 19 soll in dieser Ruhelage ausreichende Vorspannung aufweisen, um das Feuerzeug 1 entgegen seinem Gewicht am Gehäuse 10 zu halten.For use, the lighter 1 is gripped and pulled away from the device, which is hung on, for example, a piece of clothing or a handbag hanger, etc. The pull cord 20 slides through the housing opening 16 and unwinds from the reel roller 18, the coil spring 19 being tensioned. If the lighter 1 3 in the usual way, the swivel bracket 3 is pulled to the side by the pull cord 20 and the lighter can be operated normally. If the lighter is released afterwards, the pull cord 20 is immediately pulled up by winding it onto the reel roller 18 by means of the tensioned return spring 19, whereby the lighter automatically returns to the catch shaft 13 with the head part 2. The return spring 19 should have sufficient bias in this rest position to hold the lighter 1 against its weight on the housing 10.

Die Form des Fangschachtes 13 kann natürlich je nach Erfordernis der Gestalt des Feuerzeugs angepasst werden; der Schacht kann auch tiefer gemacht werden, um einen grösseren Teil des Feuer­zeugs aufzunehmen. Ferner ist es denkbar, die Zugleine 20 am Feuerzeug direkt zu befestigen anstatt über einen schwenkbaren Bügel 3.The shape of the collecting shaft 13 can of course be adapted to the shape of the lighter as required; the shaft can also be made deeper to accommodate a larger part of the lighter. Furthermore, it is conceivable to attach the pull cord 20 directly to the lighter instead of using a pivotable bracket 3.

Vor allem kann auch das Aufhängeorgan am Gehäuse 10 anders ausge­bildet sein als nach Fig. 1, 2 und 4. So zeigt die Fig. 5 als Variante eine am Gehäuse 10 federnd angelenkte Klemme 21, Fig. 6 eine am Gehäuse befestigte Sicherheitsnadel 22, und gemäss Fig. 7 ist ein federnder Clip 23 am Gehäuse 10 angeformt.Above all, the suspension element on the housing 10 can also be designed differently than according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4. Thus, as a variant, FIG. 5 shows a clamp 21 which is resiliently articulated on the housing 10, FIG 7, a resilient clip 23 is formed on the housing 10.
