The lower end of the windshield cover is joined to the side of the case body by a pin slidably inserted into the elongated hole, and the windshield cover is attached to the case body with the upper part protruding through the opening. This is a lighter case with a windshield, characterized in that a notch is formed so that it can be rotated around the pin and tilted outward, avoiding the upper part.

(Function) According to the present invention, a windshield cover that is slidably fitted in the vertical direction to the case body having a long hole along the vertical direction in the side part is used to prevent the influence of wind on the flame, and is a state in which the windshield cover, which is joined to the case body by a pin slidably inserted into the long hole of the case body, protrudes from the case body and is rotated to avoid the upper end of the case body and tilted outward. The lighter can be inserted and removed through the opening at the top.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing the entire lighter case according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view taken along the line X--X in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof.

The lighter case includes a cylindrical case body 1 in which a lighter L is housed, and a windshield cover 2 that fits into the case body 1. Windshield cover 2
is rotatably connected to the case body 1 via a slider 3 whose lower end is vertically slidable and is inseparably pin-bonded to the side of the case body 1.
When the lighter L is pulled out from the opening 4 at the top of the lighter L, it is tilted outward so that it does not get in the way when the lighter L is taken out from the lighter case.

The case main body 1 has an opening 4 at the top, and a horizontal stepped portion 5 and vertical stepped portions 6, 6 are formed at the upper and lower middle and in the widthwise center of the inner surface on the flame emitting portion side of the lighter L to be stored, respectively. The inner wall surface is gouged out with the step portions 5, 6, and 6 as boundaries to form a cover storage portion 7 for receiving the windshield cover 2, and an elongated hole 8 extending in the vertical direction is provided in the upper part of one side wall. This long hole 8
extends from slightly below the horizontal step part 5 to halfway up the top, and has small arc-shaped protrusions 9 on both inner edges slightly below the top end and slightly above the bottom end, respectively.
10 are formed.

The slider 3 has a substantially parallelogram shape wider than the elongated hole 8, and has a sliding plate 11 on the outside of the case body 1.
, an upper pin-shaped protrusion 12 and a lower retaining protrusion 13 protruding inward from the inner surface of the sliding plate 11, and a case with a diameter larger than the width of the elongated hole 8 at the tip of the retaining protrusion 13. The engaging portion 14 is slidably formed along the inner wall surface of the main body 1 to prevent it from coming off.

The windshield cover 2 has a U-shaped cross section that matches the shape of the cover storage part 7 of the case body 1, and the pin-shaped protrusion 12 of the slider 3 is inserted into a pin hole 15 drilled at the lower end, and the pin-shaped protrusion 12 of the slider 3 is inserted into the elongated hole along with the slider 3. 8, and is housed with the lower end 16 in contact with the horizontal step 5 and the side ends 17, 17 in contact with the vertical steps 6, 6, respectively, and in the free state, the protrusion 12 It can be rotated freely around the center. And windshield cover 2
A notch 20 consisting of a downward arcuate edge 18 and a horizontal linear edge 19 connected to the arcuate edge 18 is formed in the lower part corresponding to the inner wall surface of the cover storage part 7 of the case body 1, When the case body 1 is pulled out and protruded upward as shown by the two-dot chain line, the notch 20 avoids the upper part of the case body 1 so that it can rotate around the protrusion 12 and tilt outward. It's becoming like that. Further, the windshield cover 2 has an inward flange-shaped upper plate 21 formed at its upper end to cover the upper surface of the lighter L.

The usage and operation of the lighter case according to the above embodiment will be explained.

When the lighter L is not in use, the windshield cover 2 is stored in the cover storage section 7 of the case body 1,
A retaining protrusion 13 of the slider 3 is located at the lower end of the elongated hole 8. At this time, the retaining protrusion 13 is located below the lower small convex portion 10, and the windshield cover 2 is prevented from accidentally slipping upward.

When using the lighter L, when the slider 3 is pushed up with the fingers of the hand, the retaining protrusion 13 passes over the small protrusion 10 on the lower side, and as the slider 3 slides upward along the elongated hole 8 of the case body 1, the protrusion is removed at the same time. 12
The windshield cover 2 is also pressed upward and slides through the opening 4 of the case body 1, and the lighter L is ignited in a state where the flame is protected from the wind by the windshield cover 2 protruding upward from the opening 4 of the case body 1. It can be performed.

When removing the lighter L from the case body 1, push the slider 3 further upwards so that the upper end of the arcuate edge 18 of the notch 20 is in the position where the retaining protrusion 13 has passed the upper small protrusion 9. Since the windshield cover 2 can be tilted outward with the projection 12 as the center beyond the upper end of the screen, the lighter L can be inserted and removed without getting in the way in this state.

After that, when storing the cover in the cover storage section 7,
By bringing the side edges 17, 17 into contact with the vertical step portions 6, 6 and pushing down the slider 3 with fingers, the windshield cover 2 can be easily slid downward and stored in a predetermined position. can.

(Effects of the invention) The present invention is constructed as described above, and includes a cylindrical case body into which a lighter is inserted and removed from the opening at the top, and a cylindrical case body that is fitted into the case body so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and protrudes upward from the case body. By providing a windshield cover that can be used, the flame during use of the lighter can be protected from the wind by the windshield cover, and the lower end of the windshield cover can freely slide into a long hole along the vertical direction of the side of the case body. The notch is joined to the side of the case body by a pin inserted through the opening, and when the upper part protrudes through the opening, the notch is pivoted around the pin and tilts outward, avoiding the upper end of the case body. Due to this structure, when the windshield cover is connected to the case body with the pin, it is possible to protrude from the case body and tilt it outward to insert and remove the lighter from the opening at the top, and there is a risk of losing the windshield cover. In addition, the windshield cover can be easily stored in the case body.
