Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to lighters and, more particularly, to a structural improvement in such lighters for freely adjusting the flame nozzle's position of a lighter relative to a lighter body and thereby rendering the lighter be selectively used for either igniting a cooking stove, feeding a fire with firewood or lighting a cigarette.
  • conventional small-sized lighters including disposable gas lighters have been designed to be exclusively used for lighting cigarettes.
  • the lighter When lighting a cigarette using a conventional lighter, the lighter is ignited and vertically positioned relative to the cigarette such that the flame nozzle is directed upwards to make the flame reach the cigarette.
  • the press button placed about the flame nozzle of the gas lighter should be continuously pressed down until the cigarette is completely lighted. In this case, the flame vertically comes out of the nozzle so that there is no problem in continuously pressing down the press button for a time sufficient to light the cigarette.
  • the flame vertically coming out of the nozzle causes no danger of burning the hand when using the lighter for lighting the cigarette.
  • the conventional small-sized lighters may be often used for either igniting gas or oil stoves or feeding a campfire with firewood in disregard of the fact that the above lighters are designed to be exclusively used for lighting cigarettes.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un briquet avec un embout qui produit une flamme et dont la position peut être ajustée. Ce briquet peut être utilisé pour allumer un fourneau de chauffage à gaz ou à mazout, pour allumer un feu de bois ou une cigarette. Le briquet a un tube creux rétractile (1) ayant un embout (2) qui produit une flamme et qui est fixé à l'extrémité supérieure du tube. Ce dernier peut se loger d'une manière mobile dans le corps (3) du briquet. Il peut à volonté faire saillie hors du corps (3) du briquet ou s'y rétracter. Un tuyau (5) pour gaz et un fil métallique (6) alimenté en courant à haute tension pour provoquer une étincelle partent de l'extrémité supérieure du tube (1), pour arriver respectivement à un réservoir de combustible liquide (8b) et à un élément piézo-électrique (11). Le corps (3) du briquet a une cavité définissant un espace suffisant non seulement pour recevoir le tuyau (5) et le fil métallique (6) faisant saillie hors du tube, mais également pour permettre au tuyau (5) et au fil métallique (6) de se mouvoir librement dans la cavité, quand le tube se déplace par rapport au corps (3) du briquet.
