Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a gas lighter equipped with a safety device.

(Prior Art) Generally, in a gas lighter, a gas ejection nozzle is operated by a series of depressing operations to start ejecting gas, and an ignition means is operated to generate a spark, thereby igniting the gas. ing.

(Problems that the invention aims to solve) However, with this type of structure, there was a problem that even infants and children could operate it, and that it could be accidentally ignited, causing accidents such as burns and fires. .

An object of the present invention is to provide a gas lighter that can prevent accidental ignition.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is that the head of the gas jet nozzle protrudes from the gas lighter body, and the neck of the gas jet nozzle is The tip of an operating lever that pulls up the gas jet nozzle to open the valve of the gas jet nozzle is engaged, and an adjustment ring is provided on the outer periphery of the valve that adjusts the amount of gas jetted from the valve. In the gas lighter, the adjustment ring rotates with the rotation of the adjustment ring and is engaged with the tip of the operation lever at a certain rotational position, so that the nozzle of the operation lever is rotated. The present invention is characterized by a protruding hook that prevents the lifting operation, and disengages from the tip of the operating lever at other rotational positions to permit the lifting operation of the nozzle of the operating lever.

(Function) In this way, in a gas lighter, by turning the adjustment ring and hooking the hook to the tip of the operating lever, the valve opening operation of the operating lever is prevented.
Prevent ignition.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. As shown in the figure, the gas lighter of this embodiment has a gas lighter main body 1 containing a gas tank and the like, and a head 2A of a gas jet nozzle 2 projects from the upper part of the gas lighter main body 1. The neck portion 2B of the gas ejection nozzle 2 is engaged with a tip portion 4A of an operating lever 4 that operates the valve 3 of the gas ejection nozzle 2 in the direction of opening.
The valve 3 of the gas ejection nozzle 2 is housed in a screwed manner in the gas lighter body 1, and the amount of gas ejected can be adjusted by changing the screwed state. An adjustment ring 5 is fitted on the outer periphery of the upper end of the valve 3 for adjusting the amount of gas ejected.

An operation projection 5A is provided on a part of the outer circumference of the adjustment ring 5.
is provided. A hook 6 is provided protruding from the upper surface of the adjustment ring 5 in correspondence with the operating projection 5A.

In such a gas lighter, when the adjustment ring 5 is placed in the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tip 4A of the operating lever 4 is not locked by the hook 6, and the operating lever 4 can be moved freely. The gas ejection nozzle 2 can be pulled up to eject gas.

Next, when the adjustment ring 5 is rotated to the state shown in FIG. 4, the hook 6 is also rotated and the tip 4A of the operating lever 4 is engaged with the hook 6, so that the operating lever 4 is locked. Therefore, the operating lever 4 cannot be operated, gas cannot be ejected, and ignition is prevented.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, in the gas lighter according to the invention, a hook is provided on the adjustment ring, and by turning the adjustment ring by a certain angle, the tip of the operating lever is locked with the hook. This makes it impossible to operate the control lever and prevents ignition. In particular, with this invention, safety measures can be taken simply by providing a hook on the adjustment ring.
This is beneficial because it can minimize cost increases.
