Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wheel assembly for a safety lighter, intended to make it difficult and almost impossible for a young child to light a lighter.
  • the present invention is based on the idea that this security can be ensured by making it more difficult for a child to produce sparks.
  • the gas even if released, quickly dilutes in the atmosphere without danger.
  • fluted coaches have a diameter greater than that of the wheel, which on the one hand avoids the reach of the finger on the wheel itself and, on the other hand, increases the torque which decreases the effort required to obtain sparks.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome this drawback and to propose a simple and inexpensive solution to the problem of child safety.
  • WO 95/04247 a lighter is described having an elastic guard mounted between the pair of coaches covering part of the wheel. The user must apply enough force to clear the guard before the dial can rotate to generate sparks.
  • the lighter wheel assembly comprising a cylindrical central wheel bearing on one end of a lighter stone, mounted by means of a transverse axis on the body of the lighter and surrounded by two coaches is characterized in what it includes means increasing the difficulty of driving the wheel by the coaches.
  • the coaches each have a ring of diameter greater than that of the coaches.
  • the finger of the child of limited width and thickness bears on the ring which is smooth, which prohibits the rotation of the coaches and consequently of the wheel.
  • the rings can be mounted loose on the axis of the wheel or on the coaches and, in this case, the action of a child's finger only results in a rotation of the rings.
  • his thumb which is larger than that of a child's thumb, is crushed so as to come into contact with the grooved surface of the coaches to obtain the desired rotation of the scroll wheel.
  • the rings can also be attached to the trainers, but the small contact area of the child's finger with said rings causes the finger to slide on the ring without driving the wheel. In this case, the sliding of the finger on the ring has the same result as the crazy rotation of the latter.
  • the outside diameter of the rings is greater than the outside diameter of the coaches so that when an adult finger presses on the wheel assembly, the effect of the pressure allows contact with the coaches to obtain the adhesion necessary for the rotary drive of the thumb wheel and the generation of lighter ignition sparks.
  • the pressure to be obtained to obtain the ignition depends on the relative dimensions of the coaches and the rings.
  • the smooth parts or the rings can be located either inside or outside of the coaches, or even in the center of these or on either side of each coach.
  • rings with a diameter greater than that of the coaches, but these are only splined on, at plus, part of their width.
  • the rings are then replaced by smooth elements with a low coefficient of adhesion which can be in one piece with the coaches having in this case a smooth part and a fluted part adjacent, the fluted part being able to be of a diameter smaller than that of the part smooth.
  • the coaches have a cylindrical shape. It is possible, in order to make ignition more difficult, to give the trainer seen in section a shape in which the two ends are circular, the trainer having the shape of a torus or a pointed shape substantially ogival. A pressure higher than the usual pressure is then necessary to drive the rotation of the dial, a power that a child cannot normally exert, only an inch of an adult being able to deform sufficiently.
  • Figure 1 there is an abrasive wheel 1 which can rotate about an axis 2.
  • the axis 2 is in one piece with the coaches 3.
  • the two coaches 3 have, as known in itself, horizontal grooves 4 intended to increase the grip of the user's finger on the coach.
  • a ring 5 is mounted on each of the coaches 3.
  • the ring 5 is inside the coaches but it could, of course, be outside of these or at center of said coaches.
  • the rings 5 are mounted with play on the axis 2 so that they can rotate freely on this axis. It is also possible to provide a ring on either side of each coach (not shown).
  • the rings and the coaches can be in one piece. In this case, it is the lack of grip of a child's finger that does not allow ignition.
  • the rings 5 of reduced thickness are arranged in the center of the coaches 4.
  • another solution consists in giving each coach a non-planar and, for example, toric or ogival peripheral shape which is ill suited to the application of sufficient pressure on the coach by a finger d 'child.
  • the shape of the rings can also be toric 6 or ogival 7.
  • FIG. 5 Another form of coach is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the coaches 3 are then tapered and no longer cylindrical.
  • the rings 5 can then possibly be removed, this shape requiring by itself a significant deformation of the thumb which can only be an adult thumb, to drive the central wheel 1.
  • FIG. 6 the slope of the truncated cones constituting the coaches is reversed with respect to that of FIG. 5, the largest diameter being outside.
  • Figure 7 is similar to Figure 5, but the coaches are formed by spherical sectors.
  • Figure 8 shows a lighter in section through a vertical plane passing through the axis of the wheel.
  • the coaches 3 are of the type shown in FIG. 5. It can be seen that the thumb wheel 1 is in contact with the lighter stone 8 and that the axis 2 is journalled in the body of the lighter 9.
