And the igneous stone 8 separates, and ignition becomes impossible.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a safety device for a gas lighter, and more particularly to a safety device for a gas lighter that prevents the ignition mechanism from operating when not in use and prevents accidental ignition.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A conventional gas lighter can be ignited by a simple operation, and a person such as a child who does not use it properly can inadvertently ignite it, which may lead to an unexpected accident. there were.

Therefore, gas lighter safety devices such as those disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-180247 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-134253 have been devised, and these safety devices are unlocked. After being used for a while, the locked state is maintained by performing the locking operation again.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, in the safety device for a gas lighter as described above, if the user forgets to perform the locking operation after releasing the lock and using the gas lighter, the gas lighter in the unlocked state will be left unattended. A gas lighter with a safety device, which is even safer, is desired because it no longer plays the role of the device.

Therefore, the present invention provides a safety device for a gas lighter that automatically returns to the locked state after the lock is released and used, even if the user does not perform the locking operation again. To aim.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a lighter body in which fuel gas is stored, a fuel supply means for supplying fuel while controlling the fuel gas in the lighter body, and a nozzle provided in the fuel supply means. In a gas lighter having an igniting means for igniting a fuel gas and a file wheel, and a gas lever for opening the nozzle, a flint stone and a An engaging member for biasing the flint to the file wheel, and having a holding means at a position where the file wheel pushes the flint when the engaging member is slid in the file direction, By holding down the gas lever at the time of ignition, the holding member is released by the release member provided on the lower surface of the gas lever, so that the file wheel and the flint are separated from each other.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the safety device of the present invention, the file wheel, which is an ignition means, and the igniter are separated from each other when not in use.Therefore, even if the file wheel is rotated, sparks for ignition are not generated and fuel gas is not ignited. Can not.

[0008] In use, since the igneous stone abuts against the file wheel by moving the operation unit provided on the lighter, the file wheel is rotated to generate sparks for ignition, enabling ignition. Once ignited, pressing the gas lever returns the operating member for contacting the flint to the file wheel to the unused state, making it impossible to ignite.

[0009]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows a gas lighter 1 with a safety device according to the present invention. The lighter 1 includes a lighter main body 2 for storing fuel gas, a gas lever 3 provided on the upper part of the lighter main body 2 for ejecting fuel gas, a file wheel 4 for generating a spark for igniting the ejected gas, and It consists of a windshield 5, and an inverted L-shaped notch 6 is provided on the side surface of the lighter body 2.

When the gas lever 3 is pushed down in the lighter 1, a gas ejection nozzle (not shown) provided at the tip of the gas lever 3 is interlocked to eject gas. A protrusion 3a is provided on the lower portion of the gas lever 3, and an inclined surface 3b is provided on the protrusion 3a.

A pyrotechnic stone storage cylinder 7 as shown in FIG. 2 is provided immediately below the file wheel 4, and a pyrotechnic stone 8 and a spring 9 for pressing the pyrotechnic stone 8 to the file vehicle 4 are provided in the storage cylinder 7. The engaging member 10 is stored. As shown in FIG. 5, the engaging member 10 has an operating portion 10a, and the operating portion 10a projects outward from the notch 6 in the lighter body 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lighter 1 usually has the operating portion 10a located at the lower end of the notch 6, and the file wheel 4 and the flint 8 are separated from each other as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the gas lighter 1 with a safety device of the present invention will be described. In the state shown in FIG. 1, even if the gas lever 3 is pressed down immediately after the normal ignition operation, that is, the file wheel 4 is rotated, the file wheel 4 and the ignition stone 8 are not in contact with each other, so that no spark for ignition is generated and ignition is performed. You cannot do it.

By moving the operating portion 10 a protruding from the notch 6 of the lighter body 2 upward along the notch 6, the igniting stone 8 and the spring 9 in the storage cylinder 7 are also moved by the engaging member 10. When moving upward, the flint 8 lightly contacts the file wheel 4, and the urging force of the spring 9 causes the flint 8 to be strongly pressed against the file wheel 4, and the operating portion 10a is rotated in the direction of the arrow. By doing so, it is locked and held by the step portion 6a.

At this time, the external appearance of the lighter 1 is as shown in FIG. 3, and the inside of the pyrophoric stone storage cylinder 7 is as shown in FIG.

Here, a normal ignition operation, that is, by rotating the file wheel 4 and pressing the gas lever 3, a spark for ignition is generated by the file wheel 4 and the igniting stone 8, and a gas ejection nozzle (not shown). Ignite the gas blown out.

By depressing the gas lever 3 here, the inclined surface 3b of the protrusion 3a provided on the lower surface of the gas lever 3 comes into contact with the operating portion 10a of the engaging member 10, and the ignition lever 3 is further depressed. When the operating portion 10a is slid to the left with, and the operating portion 10a is disengaged from the stepped portion 6a, the engaging member 10, the spring 3 and the flint 8 are It falls to the bottom of the notch 6, and the igniter stone 8 and the file wheel 4 separate again.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the gas lighter with a safety device according to the present invention, the igniter and the file wheel are separated from each other when not in use, and the ignition means does not operate.Therefore, when the gas lighter with a safety device is used, the ignition device does not ignite. Since the ignition means does not operate automatically, it will not be left in a state where it can be ignited, it is possible to prevent incorrect use by infants, etc., and to provide a safer lighter. be able to.
