ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad, son conocidas numerosas fundas de encendedores, las cuales en general, están determinadas por un cuerpo inferior hueco al cual se acopla una tapa superior. Naturalmente, en el interior de ese cuerpo inferior se ajusta y encaja el correspondiente encendedor, de tal forma que para actuar sobre el mismo es preciso abatir o quitar la tapa.At present, numerous lighter sleeves are known, which in general are determined by a hollow lower body to which an upper lid is attached. Naturally, the corresponding lighter is fitted and fitted inside that lower body, so that in order to act on it it is necessary to lower or remove the lid.
Algunas de estas fundas incorporan, principal¬ mente en el cuerpo inferior, diferentes dibujos impresos sobre las caras externas. Normalmente, dichos dibujos se han imprimido directamente sobre las fundas. En otros casos, son láminas pegadas.Some of these cases incorporate, mainly in the lower body, different drawings printed on the external faces. Normally, such drawings have been printed directly on the covers. In other cases, they are glued sheets.
Por otro lado, se conocen otras fundas para encendedores de material transparente, en las cuales existe la posibilidad de introducir en su interior láminas con motivos publicitarios, las cuales pueden pegarse a modo de calcomanías sobre las caras internas del cuerpo inferior. Las fundas conocidas implican una serie de problemas relacionadas con la complejidad de su fabrica¬ ción, con sus aspectos poco atractivos así como con la facilidad con la que las láminas con motivos publicitarios son deterioradas bajo la influencia de contaminación externa, por ejemplo por la suciedad de los dedos del usuario.On the other hand, other covers for lighters of transparent material are known, in which there is the possibility of introducing inside plates with advertising motifs, which can be glued as stickers on the inner faces of the lower body. The known covers involve a series of problems related to the complexity of their manufacture, with their unattractive aspects as well as with the ease with which the sheets with advertising motifs are damaged under the influence of external contamination, for example by dirt of the user's fingers.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN Con el fin de solucionar los problemas e inconvenientes mencionados en el apartado anterior, la funda para encendedor y método para su fabricación que constituye el objeto de la invención, aporta unas importan¬ tes ventajas en relación con otras fundas convencionales La funda de la invención incluye un cuerpo inferior donde se aloja un encendedor, comprendiendo dicho cuerpo inferior una carcasa externa de material transparen¬ te que incluye medios para alojar un encendedor, así como medios para alojar una lámina de motivos publicitarios en una posición entre dicho mechero y la carcasa externa. La funda de la invención se determina en principio y en general, a partir de un cuerpo inferior al cual es susceptible de acoplarse o no una tapa superior.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the problems and inconveniences mentioned in the previous section, the lighter cover and method for its manufacture that constitutes the object of the invention, provides important advantages in relation to other conventional covers. of the invention includes a lower body where a lighter is housed, said lower body comprising an outer shell of transparent material that includes means for housing a lighter, as well as means for housing a sheet of advertising motifs in a position between said lighter and The outer shell. The cover of the invention is determined in principle and in general, from a lower body to which a top cover is capable of being coupled or not.
Una importante aspecto de la invención corresponde a la estructura del cuerpo inferior que comprende dos elementos independientes: una carcasa exterior de material transparente y una carcasa interior en la cual se introduce ajustadamente el correspondiente encendedor. Por otro lado, la carcasa interior tiene una forma esencialmente tubular, determinando un espacio vacío, cuya sección corresponde a la del tipo de encendedor que se desea posicionar en la funda. Por otra parte, la carcasa interior es susceptible de incluir un fondo, a la vez que se encaja en la carcasa exterior, determinándose entre ambas, un estrecho espacio anular o peri etral donde se alojará ventajosamente una lámina intermedia con motivos publicitarios que se verán perfectamente desde el exterior gracias a la transparencia de la aludida carcasa exterior. La unión de las dos carcasas, una vez que se ha colocado la lámina con motivos publicitarios entre ambas, dicha unión se puede realizar de diferentes formas, tales como por presión, enclavamientos, pegado, termosolda- do y/o tratamiento con ultrasonidos.An important aspect of the invention corresponds to the structure of the lower body comprising two independent elements: an outer shell of transparent material and an inner shell in which the corresponding lighter is fitted tightly. On the other hand, the inner casing has an essentially tubular shape, determining an empty space, whose section corresponds to that of the type of lighter that it is desired to position in the sheath. On the other hand, the inner carcass is capable of including a bottom, at the same time as it fits into the outer carcass, determining between them a narrow annular or peri etral space where an intermediate sheet with motifs will advantageously be housed advertising that will look perfectly from the outside thanks to the transparency of the aforementioned outer casing. The union of the two housings, once the sheet has been placed with advertising motifs between the two, said union can be carried out in different ways, such as by pressure, interlocks, bonding, heat welding and / or ultrasonic treatment.
De esta forma, una vez que se han unido las dos carcasas componentes del cuerpo inferior de la funda del encendedor, entonces ya no es posible extraer la lámina intermedia, con lo cual no se puede eliminar la publicidad de la misma. Ventajosamente, dicho espacio puede resultar herméticamente sellado, de forma que la lámina no podrá ser degradada por contaminación desde el exterior. Es importante destacar que la fabricación de las dos carcasas y su montaje, junto con la lámina interme¬ dia, resulta un proceso muy sencillo, simple y económica¬ mente barato.In this way, once the two component housings of the lower body of the lighter case have been joined, then it is no longer possible to remove the intermediate sheet, whereby the advertising thereof cannot be eliminated. Advantageously, said space can be hermetically sealed, so that the sheet cannot be degraded by contamination from the outside. It is important to note that the manufacture of the two housings and their assembly, together with the intermediate sheet, is a very simple, simple and economically cheap process.
Una realización alternativa de la invención propone que la funda para encendedor, la cual es de un material plástico transparente, a la vez que cuenta con unas características relevantes frente a las fundas convencionales, especialmente por el hecho de incorporar unos ventajosos y novedosos medios de posicionado de unas láminas con motivos publicitarios, quedando las mismas perfectamente retenidas y sujetas, a la vez que su inter- cambiabilidad resulta sumamente fácil. Además, al extraer el encendedor del interior de la funda, no se salen fuera esas láminas. Así pues, la funda para encendedor de la realización alternativa se determina a partir de un cuerpo inferior hueco y una tapa superior que se acopla articula¬ damente a la embocadura del cuerpo inferior, dentro del cual se introduce y encaja el correspondiente encendedor. Los medios de posicionado por deslizamiento para las láminas publicitarias están determinados por unas guías establecidas en las caras interiores de las paredes laterales del cuerpo inferior, encajándose en dichas guías las correspondientes láminas, cuyos motivos publicitarios serán visibles perfectamente desde el exterior, ya que la funda es transparente, tal y como hemos mencionado ante¬ riormente. Esos medios también pueden estar determinados por unas estrechas ranuras practicadas en las paredes laterales del cuerpo inferior de la funda, introduciéndose en dichas ranuras las láminas con motivos publicitarios.An alternative embodiment of the invention proposes that the lighter cover, which is made of a transparent plastic material, while having relevant characteristics compared to conventional covers, especially by incorporating advantageous and novel positioning means of sheets with advertising motifs, the same being perfectly retained and subject, while their interchangeability is extremely easy. In addition, when the lighter is removed from the inside of the case, these sheets do not go out. Thus, the lighter sheath of the alternative embodiment is determined from a hollow lower body and an upper cover that is articulated to the mouth of the lower body, into which the corresponding lighter is inserted and fitted. Sliding Positioning Means for the advertising sheets they are determined by guides established on the inner faces of the side walls of the lower body, the corresponding sheets being fitted in said guides, whose advertising motifs will be visible perfectly from the outside, since the cover is transparent, just as We have mentioned before. These means can also be determined by narrow grooves made in the side walls of the lower body of the case, the sheets with advertising motifs being introduced into said grooves.
Por otra parte, los medios de posicionado por deslizamiento para las láminas con motivos publicitarios, también pueden incorporarlos la tapa superior de la funda para encendedor. Por otro lado, la tapa cierra perfectamente al contar la misma con un enganche, constituido en general, por un resalte que se encaja en una hendidura complementa¬ ria del cuerpo inferior.On the other hand, the sliding positioning means for the sheets with advertising motifs can also be incorporated by the upper cover of the lighter cover. On the other hand, the lid closes perfectly when it has a hitch, constituted in general, by a projection that fits into a complementary groove in the lower body.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA FORMA DE REALIZACIÓN PREFERIDADESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Haciendo referencia a la numeración adoptada en las figuras, la funda para encendedor y método para su fabricación, se constituye a partir de un cuerpo inferior 1 y una tapa superior 2 que se acopla articuladamente al mismo 1.Referring to the numbering adopted in the figures, the lighter cover and method for its manufacture, is constituted from a lower body 1 and an upper cover 2 that is articulated to the same 1.
El cuerpo inferior 1 se compone de dos elementos independientes: una carcasa externa 3 de material transparente y una carcasa interna 4, en cuyo interior se aloja un encendedor 5. La carcasa interna 4 presenta esencialmente una configuración tubular, encajándose la misma por su borde inferior en un rebaje 6 practicado en el fondo 7 de la carcasa exterior 3. Por otro lado, entre las paredes verticales de ambas carcasas se determina un estrecho espacio anular o perimetral donde se alojará una lámina intermedia 8 con motivos publicitarios o fotogra¬ fías, siendo la misma de papel, material plástico o material textil. La carcasa interna 4 incluye en su borde superior, un resalte perimetral 9 de poca altura y escaso espesor que se ajusta contra la cara interior de la carcasa externa 3, siendo el espesor del citado resalte perimetral 9 de igual grosor o ligeramente mayor que el grosor de la lámina intermedia 8.The lower body 1 is composed of two independent elements: an outer shell 3 of transparent material and an inner shell 4, inside which a lighter is housed 5. The inner shell 4 essentially has a tubular configuration, fitting it by its lower edge in a recess 6 made in the bottom 7 of the outer shell 3. On the other hand, between the vertical walls of both housings a narrow annular or perimeter space is determined where an intermediate sheet 8 will be housed with advertising or photographic motifs, being the same of paper, plastic material or textile material. The inner shell 4 includes at its upper edge, a perimeter projection 9 of low height and low thickness that fits against the inner face of the outer shell 3, the thickness of said perimeter projection 9 being of equal thickness or slightly greater than the thickness of the intermediate sheet 8.
Por otra parte, tal como se muestra en la figura 4, la carcasa interna 4 es susceptible de poseer un segundo resalte perimetral inferior 10 en su borde de abajo, ajustándose el mismo también contra la cara interior de la carcasa externa 3. En este caso, el fondo 7 de la carcasa externa 3 carecerá del rebaje 6 correspondiente por no ser necesario; de tal manera que la lámina intermedia 8 se adosará contra la superficie perimetral exterior de la carcasa interna 4, a la vez que los bordes horizontales de dicha lámina intermedia 8 quedarán adyacentes a ambos resaltes perimetrales 9 y 10 solidarios de la carcasa interna 4. En lugar de los resaltes 9 y 10, en la carcasa interna 4, podría ser la carcasa externa 3 la que incluyera tales resaltes; en tal caso los resaltes se hallarían en la pared interior de la carcasa externa 3, para ajustarse contra la carcasa interna 4. También es posible dotar las dos carcasas con resaltes.On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4, the internal housing 4 is capable of having a second lower perimeter shoulder 10 at its bottom edge, also adjusting it against the inner face of the external housing 3. In this case , the bottom 7 of the external housing 3 will lack the corresponding recess 6 because it is not necessary; in such a way that the intermediate sheet 8 will be attached against the outer perimeter surface of the inner shell 4, at the same time that the horizontal edges of said intermediate sheet 8 will be adjacent to both perimeter projections 9 and 10 integral to the inner shell 4. In instead of the projections 9 and 10, in the internal housing 4, it could be the external housing 3 that included such projections; in this case the projections would be found on the inner wall of the external housing 3, to fit against the internal housing 4. It is also possible to provide the two housings with projections.
La tapa superior 2 cuenta con una prolongación posterior 11 que se introduce en un rebaje complementario 12 perteneciente a la carcasa exterior 3, contando ésta y dicha prolongación posterior 11 con unos orificios cilin¬ dricos enfrentados donde se aloja un pasador 13, alrededor del cual se articula o abate la tapa superior 2 cuando se hace uso del encendedor 5. Además, la tapa superior 2 cuenta con un pequeño saliente anterior 14 que encaja, al cerrar la misma, en un entrante complementario 15 estable¬ cido en un resalte anterior 16 solidario de la embocadura de la carcasa exterior 3. En la figura 5, se representa una funda para encendedor donde los elementos del mecanismo de articula¬ ción de la tapa 2 y de la carcasa externa 3 se han inter¬ cambiado, es decir, que la prolongación posterior 11' es solidaria de la carcasa externa 3, mientras que el rebaje complementario 12' donde se introduce aquélla 11" se encuentra en la tapa superior 2. En este caso también la tapa 2 articulará alrededor del pasador 13".The upper cover 2 has a rear extension 11 that is inserted into a complementary recess 12 belonging to the outer housing 3, this and said rear extension 11 having opposite cylindrical holes where a pin 13 is housed, around which articulates or ablates the upper cover 2 when using the lighter 5. In addition, the upper cover 2 has a small front projection 14 which, when closed, fits into a complementary recess 15 established in a leading shoulder 16 integral of the mouth of the outer shell 3. In figure 5, a cover for lighter where the elements of the articulation mechanism of the cover 2 and of the external housing 3 have been interchanged, that is to say that the rear extension 11 'is integral with the external housing 3, while the complementary recess 12' where it is inserted 11 "is in the upper cover 2. In this case also the cover 2 will articulate around the pin 13".
El proceso de montaje del conjunto de elemen¬ tos componentes de la funda para encendedor se llevará a cabo tal como sigue. En primer lugar, se adosará la lámina intermedia 8, pegada o no pegada, contra la cara de fuera de la carcasa interna 4, quedando dicha lámina establecida entre los resaltes perimetrales 9 y 10 de dicha carcasa interna 4. Cuando ésta incluye solamente el resalte superior 9, entonces la lámina queda situada por debajo del mismo. A continuación, se introducirá la carcasa interior 4 junto con la lámina intermedia 8 dentro de la carcasa externa 3, de forma que el resalte superior 9 de la carcasa interna 4 quedará ajustado contra la cara interior de la carcasa externa 4; quedando así la lámina 8 aislada del exterior. Para alcanzar un total aislamiento hermético de la misma, en la zona correspondiente del referido resalte superior 9, se llevará a cabo una soldadura por ultrasoni¬ dos o simplemente un termosoldado; pudiendo también realizar la unión mediante un adhesivo, tal como pegamento.The assembly process of the set of components of the lighter cover will be carried out as follows. First, the intermediate sheet 8, stuck or not glued, will be attached against the outside face of the inner shell 4, said sheet being established between the perimeter projections 9 and 10 of said inner shell 4. When this includes only the protrusion upper 9, then the sheet is located below it. Next, the inner shell 4 will be inserted together with the intermediate sheet 8 into the outer shell 3, so that the upper shoulder 9 of the inner shell 4 will be adjusted against the inner face of the outer shell 4; leaving the sheet 8 isolated from the outside.
