Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lighter with one in a housing recorded fuel container with a fuel outlet in Connection is and an example.
  • Piezo-electric ignition device the can be operated by means of a switch, in particular a slide switch, Via which, if necessary, the fuel exit from the fuel outlet is adjustable.
  • lighters are available in various designs, e.g. as gas or Petrol lighters known.
  • FR 2 307 224 describes a lighter in Shape of a match described.
  • FR 2 307 224 describes a lighter in Shape of a match described.
  • lighters there is the There is a risk that these can also be used by children who are involved in the Flame injuries or cause fire.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a lighter of the initially to provide mentioned type, in which an unintentional use is largely excluded and difficult to use by children can.
  • this object is essentially achieved in that the switch is assigned a safety device that controls the switch locked if the safety device is not activated at the same time as the switch is operated.
  • the interlocking of the switch by pressing it on Ignition spark or the like. Is generated and / or the escape of fuel from the Fuel outlet is regulated, prevents unintentional actuation of the Lighter. Only by unlocking and simultaneously actuating the With the (slide) switch, an ignition spark can be generated. Only if the Safety device is operated together with the switch, can be a Spark or the like. Generate the from the fuel outlet escaping fuel ignites. This is especially for small children simultaneous actuation of the safety device and the switch almost impossible, so that the lighter with it, for example, in the USA has required child safety locks.
  • the switch as a slide switch on the outside of the housing is displaceable and has a projection along its Displacement is guided in a groove or on the housing.
  • the Safety device has a locking element which is in the displacement path of the switch, e.g. B. in the displacement path of the projection, and protrudes from this is removable.
  • the safety device can, for example, at least be partially retractable into the housing, i.e. a switch or button of the Safety device is pressed into the housing to unlock.
  • the direction of actuation of the switch and the safety device run thus at right angles to each other, thereby enabling operation by a toddler is made considerably more difficult.
  • an adult can do this with one hand Hold the lighter and, for example, press the switch with your thumb while at the same time the safety device is unlocked with the index finger.
  • the Locking element of the safety device by one acting on it Spring in a protruding into the displacement path of the projection of the switch Position is held. After pressing the switch, it snaps Locking element of the safety device thus by the pressure of the spring in its position blocking the switch. The lighter must therefore cannot be locked manually after actuation.
  • the ignition device has a piezo element.
  • a piezo element generated by pressure exerted by operating the switch in near the fuel outlet to ignite the fuel ignite.
  • an ignition spark in a different way generated mechanically or electrically or an incandescent filament or the like. In the To be provided near the fuel outlet.
  • the fuel container as a particular refillable gas tank is formed.
  • the gas flows under Overpressure from the fuel tank to the fuel outlet when on for example. Valve coupled to the switch or the like. Is opened.
  • the Housing an elongated body with a round or polygonal, in particular square, cross-section, at one end of which a thickened head is formed, which is preferably modeled on a match head. That Lighter is thus modeled on an enlarged match.
  • the Ignition device and the fuel tank can be in the elongated Body of the housing, while the fuel outlet in the thickened head is arranged.
  • the lighter 1 shown in the figures has the shape of a enlarged match with an elongated body Housing 2 with a square cross-section and a thickened head 3, which is on is located at one end of the elongated body.
  • a gas tank 4 provided with an insert 5 for refilling.
  • a fuel line closed by a valve is the fuel container 4 connected to a fuel outlet 6, which is at the top of the thickened Head 3 is arranged.
  • a piezo element 7 added, which together with one in the tip of the thickened head 3 arranged contact end pair 8 a device to generate an ignition spark.
  • a switch 9 mounted so as to be displaceable in its longitudinal direction intended.
  • the Switch 9 is connected to the piezo element 7 via a lever 10, so that at a shifting of the switch 9 in the direction of the head 3 of the lever 10 Pressure is exerted on the piezo element and in this way on Contact end pair 8 an ignition spark is generated.
  • the switch 9 With connected to the valve of the fuel container 4, the fuel container 4 is closed by the valve when the switch 9 of the head 3 is moved away.
  • a projection 11 is formed on the switch 9, which protrudes into one in the housing 2 provided groove engages and in this together with the switch 9 in The longitudinal direction of the housing 2 is displaceable.
  • a recess 12 of the Housing 2 is a safety device 13 used, the two Has guide webs 14 with which the securing device 13 in Guide rails 15 of the housing 2 in a direction perpendicular to the The displacement path of the switch 9 can be lowered into the housing 2.
  • a compression spring 16 is used, which the Safety device 13 is acted upon in such a way that it is in its 4 position shown.
  • the safety device 13 has on the side facing the switch 9 a locking element 17, which in the position shown in the figures of the securing device 13 in this way in the displacement path of the projection 11 protrudes that this can not pass the blocking element 17. A shift of the switch 9 in the direction of the head 3 is thus activated by the locking element 17 the safety device 13 prevented the projection 11 of the switch 9 blocked.
  • the locking element 17 gives the displacement path of the projection 11 free, so that the switch 9 can be moved in the direction of the head 3.
  • To moving the switch 9 back away from the head 3 snaps the Safety device 13 by the force of the spring 16 in their in the figures position shown back, so that the locking element 17 again in the The displacement path of the projection 11 of the switch 9 protrudes and this thus locked.
  • the lighter 1 is consequently provided with a safety device 13 formed safety interlock provided that an unintentional actuation of the lighter 1 makes impossible. It's also great for toddlers difficult to move the switch 9 in the direction of the head 3 and at the same time the safety device 13 against the force of the spring 16 in such a way to move the housing 2 that the locking element 17 the displacement of the projection 11 of the switch 9 releases. From an adult the Simultaneous actuation of the safety device 13 and the switch 9 however, can be carried out with one hand in which the lighter 1 is held.
