Abstract

The connector fitting has an injection moulded plastics bracket with a flexibility and shape memory to allow it to grip the packet and which has two cams (2) of half moon shape to receive the lighter (3). A thickening (4) is moulded on the periphery of the cams to provide a stop (4) and four feet (5) which allow gripping of the packet of cigarettes. The half moon sections can alternatively be of rectangular shape. The fixing can be made of sheet metal with a flexibility to allow the gripping action.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui permet à l'utilisateur d'accoupler de manière simple et facile, un briquet de type jetable au paquet de cigarettes.DESCRIPTION
TITLE POR TE-BM Q UET FOR
CIGARETTE PACK
The present invention relates to a device which allows the user to simply and easily couple a disposable type lighter to the pack of cigarettes.

La pièce unique, en un seul élément, est en matière plastique injectée prémoulée à la fabrication.The single piece, in a single element, is made of injected plastic pre-molded during manufacturing.

Elle comporte: - Une face principale rectangulaire de 5/10 mm d'épaisseur (1 Page 1 Fig. 1) - Deux cames en forme de demi-lunes (3. Page 1 Fig. 2) - Quatre pattes dans le prolongement des cames demi-lunes (5 Page 1 Fig. 3).It includes: - A rectangular main face 5/10 mm thick (1 Page 1 Fig. 1) - Two cams in the shape of half-moons (3. Page 1 Fig. 2) - Four legs in the extension of the cams half-moons (5 Page 1 Fig. 3).

L'ensemble cames 3, pattes 5 et corps 1 génère un effet de pince qui caractérise la particularité de l'invention.The set of cams 3, legs 5 and body 1 generates a clamping effect which characterizes the particularity of the invention.

Une butée (4 Page 1 Fig. 1) évite le glissement du briquet vers le bas.A stop (4 Page 1 Fig. 1) prevents the lighter from sliding down.

Un renfort d'épaisseur situé sur chaque came en demi-lune permet le clipsage du briquet et son maintien (3 Page 1 Fig. 2).A thick reinforcement located on each half-moon cam allows the lighter to be clipped on and maintained (3 Page 1 Fig. 2).

L'embout des quatre pattes (5 Page 1 Fig. 3) est muni de pointes qui permettent l'accrochage sur le paquet.The tip of the four legs (5 Page 1 Fig. 3) is provided with spikes which allow it to be hooked onto the package.

Fonctionnement
L'utilisateur pince le dispositif entre la face antérieure des'index et la face postérieure du pouce. Cette action a pour effet d'écarter les pattes préhensiles (Page 3.3 Fig. 8).Operation
The user clamps the device between the anterior surface of the index fingers and the posterior surface of the thumb. This action has the effect of spreading the prehensile legs (Page 3.3 Fig. 8).

n suffit donc de présenter le dispositif sur la tranche latérale du paquet de cigarettes et relâcher l'effort (Page 2.3 Fig. 5). It is therefore sufficient to present the device on the lateral edge of the packet of cigarettes and release the effort (Page 2.3 Fig. 5).

L'arc de courbure de la face (6 Page 3.3 Fig. 8) reprend sa position initiale et maintien l'accrochage.The arc of curvature of the face (6 Page 3.3 Fig. 8) returns to its initial position and maintains the grip.

L'utilisateur présente alors le briquet de biais selon le sens de la hauteur . The user then presents the lighter at an angle according to the height direction.

n suffit d'une pression du pouce pour clipser le briquet (Page 3.3 Fig. 6). You only need to press your thumb to clip the lighter (Page 3.3 Fig. 6).

Le briquet prend position dans son logement, il est maintenu sur la face d'appui par les renforts situés sur les demi-lunes (3 Page 1.3 Fig. 2) et par la butée (4 Page 1.3 Fig. 1).The lighter takes position in its housing, it is held on the support face by the reinforcements located on the half-moons (3 Page 1.3 Fig. 2) and by the stop (4 Page 1.3 Fig. 1).

Le briquet occupe un espace qui interdit tout rapprochement des cames - demi-lunes et donc l'écartement des pattes préhensiles.The lighter occupies a space which prevents any bringing together of the cams - half-moons and therefore the separation of the prehensile legs.

L'effet de verrouillage est donc réalisé.The locking effect is therefore achieved.

Pour libérer l'ensemble en fin d'utilisation du paquet de cigarettes ou pour changer un briquet vide de combustible, il suffit de basculer le briquet selon un bras de levier (Vecteur GPage 3.3 Fig 3). To release the assembly at the end of use of the cigarette packet or to change an empty fuel lighter, simply tilt the lighter according to a lever arm (Vector GPage 3.3 Fig 3).

Claims

1 / Device for coupling disposable type lighters to cigarette packets, characterized in that it comprises an injected plastic module whose flexibility and the power of memorizing the material give it a lasting gripper effect (1) having two half-moon cams (2) into which the lighter (3) is introduced, an extra thickness molded on the periphery of (2) and provided with a retainer (4) and four prehensile tabs (5) which allow the hanging on the pack of cigarettes.

2 / Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the half-moons (2) can be rectangular or other from the moment they allow the nip (5).

3 / Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the half-moons (2) or by rectangular shape provide the same pinching effect of the lighter.

4 / Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the four legs (5) can be replaced by two bars, ensuring the same pinching effect on the pack of cigarettes.

5 / Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the module (1) can be of any other material (example: sheet metal foil), from the moment when the flexibility and the memorization effect can be obtained. .
