In dem Aufnahmefach 76 befindet sich eine an ihrem unteren Ende mit einem Anschlag 80 ausgebildete Hülse 82. Eine Brennerdüse 86 der Brennerbaugruppe 84 ist über eine Leitung 88 mit einer Ventilbaugruppe 90 verbunden, die an einem Auslassrohr eines Brennstoffvorratsbehältnisses 92 ausgebildet ist, das beispielsweise übliches Flüssiggas enthält und in an sich bekannter Weise nachfüllbar ist.A

Die Funktion des bisher beschriebenen Feuerzeugs ist an sich bekannt und wird daher nicht im Einzelnen erläutert. Beim Abwärtsbewegen der Handhabe 72 wird die Ventilbaugruppe 90 geöffnet, so dass Brenngas aus der Brennerdüse 86 strömt und dort von den Zündelektroden 97 der Zündeinheit 96 gezündet wird.The function of the lighter described so far is known per se and is therefore not explained in detail.

Der Zigarettenkörper 12 einer "anzuzündenen" bzw. aufzuheizenden Zigarette wird indas Aufnahmenfach 76 bis zum Anschlag 80 eingeschoben.Mittels der Handhabe 72 wird das Feuerzeug dann in Betrieb gesetzt, so dassdas Wärmerohr 26 von derFlamme 102 erwärmt wird. Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit des schlecht wärmeleitenden Mantels 24 und die Temperaturempfindlichkeit des Bimetallstreifens 98 sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass der Bimetallstreifen 98 das Ventil der Ventilbaugruppe 90 schließt,wenn das Wärmerohr 26, insbesondere dessen ausdem Mantel 24vorstehender Bereich 28, eine vorbestimmte Temperatur erreicht hat, die zum Verdampfen des Genussmittels 33 (Fig. 6 ) genügt. Dabei ist dieAußenseite des Mantels 24 noch so wenig erwärmt, dass ihre Berührung als angenehm empfunden wird.Der Zigarettenkörper 12 wird anschließend aus dem Feuerzeug herausgenommen.Ein frisches Mundstück 10 wird aufgesteckt und steht für einen Genuss des Genussmittels 33 zur Verfügung, indem, wie bei herkömmlichen Zigaretten, durchdas Mundstück 10 hindurch Luft angesaugt wird. Der Genuss des Genussmittels ist auf diese Weise für den "Raucher" intensiv, ohne dass die Umwelt durch irgendwelchen Rauch belästigt wird.
- The
cigarette body 12 of a "light" or aufheizenden cigarette is inserted into the receivingcompartment 76 to the stop 80. By means of thehandle 72, the lighter is then put into operation, so that theheat pipe 26 is heated by theflame 102. The thermal conductivity of the poorly heat-conductingjacket 24 and the temperature sensitivity of thebimetallic strip 98 are coordinated such that thebimetallic strip 98 closes the valve of thevalve assembly 90 when theheat pipe 26, in particular itsregion 28 projecting from thejacket 24, has reached a predetermined temperature, used to evaporate the stimulant 33 (Fig. 6 ) enough. Here is the outside of thejacket 24 still heated so little that their touch is perceived as pleasant. Thecigarette body 12 is then removed from the lighter. Afresh mouthpiece 10 is plugged in and is available for consumption of thestimulant 33 by sucking in air through themouthpiece 10, as with conventional cigarettes. The enjoyment of the stimulant is intense for the "smoker" in this way, without the environment being bothered by any smoke.
Mit der Erfindung ist eine sichere und komfortable Möglichkeit zum Aufheizen von Zigaretten der beschriebenen Art geschaffen. Es versteht sich, dass die Zigarette erneut aufgeheizt werden kann, wenn sie vor dem vollständigen Aufbrauchen des Genussmittels abkühlt.With the invention, a safe and comfortable way to heat cigarettes of the type described is created. It is understood that the cigarette can be reheated if it cools before the consumption of the stimulant is exhausted.
Durch entsprechende Dimensionierung des Aufnahmefaches 76 mit der Hülse 82 sowie erforderlichenfalls Einsetzen einer zusätzlichen, temperaturisolierenden Hülse kann das Feuerzeug in an sich bekannter Weise benutzt werden, indem die Flamme, gegebenenfalls nach Verstellen mittels einer aus dem Gehäuse vorstehenden Rändelschraube (nicht dargestellt) so eingestellt wird, dass sie bis nach außerhalb des Gehäuses brennt. Weiterhin ist möglich, dass die Ventilbaugruppe 90 schließt, wenn die Handhabe 72 nicht mehr betätigt wird und bei gedrückter Handhabe 72 zusätzlich schließt, wenn sie durch den Bimetallstreifen 98 zum Schließen freigegeben wird. Diese Freigabe kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, dass der Bimetallstreifen den Distanzdraht unter einem Kopf eines Ventilschaftes herausschiebt und dadurch das Ventil von einer in Schließstellung vorgespannten Feder geschlossen wird.By appropriate dimensioning of the receiving
Der Zigarettenkörper 12 wird voteilhafterweise mit aufgesetztem Mundstück 10 vom Feuerzeug erwärmt, da die erhitzte Luft einschließlich Nikotin und Aromastoffen durch das Wärmerohr hindurch dann unter leichtem Zug, wie bei einer herkömmlichen Zigarette, sofort inhaliert werden kann.The
