Definitions

  • the present invention relates to liquefied gas lighters.
  • lighters of this type include a regulator-evaporator system intended to ensure the passage of gas in the liquid phase, under which it is stored, to the vapor phase, under which it is distributed.
  • This system is, on the other hand, usually used to reduce the gas pressure to the operating pressure.
  • Some of these flow limiters are essentially made of a permeable material, such as a wick, which is compressed radially using an elastic element on which an axial stress is exerted. These constraints are such that during the use of the lighter, they can go so far as to create irreversible deformations in this elastic element.
  • the present invention aims to avoid this drawback, by proposing a lighter equipped with a flow limiter of the aforementioned type, in which said elastic element does not require significant compressive force.
  • a liquefied gas lighter comprising a pressure-reducing evaporator device, upstream of which is arranged a flow-limiting device, characterized in that said flow-limiting device comprises a deformable sleeve made of a material permeable to gas, a rigid part sheathed by said sleeve, an elastically deformable member in contact with a part of the external surface of said sleeve, and a presetting means capable of compressing said member axially in order to deform it radially in the direction of said sleeve and said rigid piece.
  • the rigid element on which is threaded the deformable permeable sleeve is the support for the elastic permeable washer constituting, in known manner, the expansion valve-evaporator system.
  • the two devices constitute a sub-assembly, which improves the assembly and maintenance operations of the lighter.
  • the device according to the invention is housed in a cavity 1 of the body 2 of the lighter, communicating with the gas tank (not shown in the drawing) by a passage 3.
  • the rigid part 4 is surmounted by a support plate 9 comprising a stud 10 at its center.
  • An elastic permeable washer 11, resting on the plate 9 coaxially with the stud 10, is compressed by a second sleeve 12, screwed into a sleeving of the sleeve 8.
  • the lower part of the sleeve 12 has an orifice 13, in which the nipple 10 and which forms a passage for the gas.
  • a valve burner 14 is placed in a bore of the bush 12.
  • the flame height adjustment operation is divided into two stages: firstly, the maximum height of the flame that the lighter can produce is adjusted, then, secondly, the flame is adjusted to its normal height of use.
  • the sleeve 8 is then tightened so as to compress the O-ring 7, which, when deformed, itself compresses the sleeve 5 against the rigid part 4, thereby causing in this sleeve the pressure drop corresponding to the maximum desired flame .
  • the sleeve 12 is tightened, so as to compress the washer 11. This creates an additional pressure drop downstream of the sleeve 5, which decreases the flame to the height of desired use.
  • the device according to the invention is arranged in a tube 20 fixed to the body 21 of the lighter.
  • the interior of the tube 20 comprises two chambers 22 and 23, communicating with each other by a channel 24.
  • a support element, consisting of a cylindrical rod 25 surmounted by a plate 26, is supported by its base on an adjustment screw 27 housed in room 22.
  • a sleeve 28 made of permeable foam is threaded on the rod 25 and is compressed axially by an O-ring 29, more or less crushed against the bottom of the chamber 23 by a presetting screw 30, with the interposition of a rigid washer 31.
  • the expansion valve-evaporator consists of a permeable washer 32, disposed on the plate 25 and compressed between the latter and the screw 30.
  • the rod 25, the plate 26, the sleeve 28 and the washer 32 thus constitute a sub-assembly. , easy to install in the tube 20.
  • a spring 33 compressed between the bottom 35 of the tube 20 and a washer 37 integral with the rod 25, maintains the latter in abutment against the adjusting screw 27.
  • the adjustment of the maximum flame height is carried out from the lighter head by means of the screw 30, while the adjustment of the flame to the desired height of use is obtained from the base of the lighter, using the adjusting screw 27.
  • This arrangement is made possible, in a simple manner, by using the rigid part constituted by the rod 25 to transmit the compressive force of the screw 27 to the permeable disc 32.
  • the operation for presetting the maximum flame height and the operation for adjusting the flame at the height of use are both achievable from the base of the lighter.
  • the device according to the invention is housed in a tube 40, the base 42 of which takes place in a bore 43 in the bottom 44 thereof.
  • a sleeve 47 is screwed inside the tube 40. It has a groove 58 intended to facilitate its driving in rotation.
  • the upper face 48 of this socket is axially pierced with a hole 49, in which a support rod 50 is slidably engaged.
  • This support rod is provided, at its upper part, with a plate 51 and is supported by its lower end, against an adjusting part 52, which is screwed inside the sleeve 47 and which is rotated by means of a control member 45, of which it is made integral by means of grooves 53 and a screw 46.
  • a sleeve 54 of permeable foam, serving as a flow limiter is threaded on the rod 50.
  • This sleeve 54 is tightened radially by an O-ring 55, between two rigid washers, one of which 56 bears against the bottom 48 of the socket 47, while the other 57 bears against a shoulder 59 of the tube 40.
  • a washer 61 of permeable material serving as a regulator for the lighter.
  • This washer 61 is arranged coaxially with a stud 62, which projects on the upper face of the plate 51 and which is engaged in the supply channel 63 of the lighter burner.
  • the socket 47 is more or less screwed in, using the groove 58 to do this, so as to adjust the compression of the joint. 55 and thus the pressure drop in the sleeve 54.
  • the adjusting part 52 is acted on by means of the control member 45, so as to compress more or less, using the rod 50 and the plate 51, the permeable washer 61.
