Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a lighter as an igniter, and is made by utilizing the explosive and igniting power of gunpowder as the ignition material of the lighter.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Conventionally, as the igniting material used in lighters, which are igniters for smoking tools, etc., it has been common practice to use a so-called ignitable alloy, which is an alloy of iron and cerium. etc., to ignite it by polishing it.

Problems that the invention aims to solve The igniting material in conventional lighters uses ignitable alloys, etc., so they function well as igniters, but when they are ignited, they do not produce special sounds, light, smoke, or odors. There was a problem in that the lighter itself did not attract any special interest or interest when it was ignited because it did not generate much of the same.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention uses gunpowder as the ignition material for a lighter, so that it can fully demonstrate its function as an igniter while also producing an explosion sound, light, and smoke when ignited. Furthermore, it generates a gunpowder odor, which makes the lighter itself very interesting and interesting, allowing it to fully demonstrate its practical function as an igniter, its unexpectedness, and its toy-like appeal.

A lighter using gunpowder as the igniting material of the present invention includes a fuel tank having an ignition combustion part in the container body, a gunpowder holder, a striking arm capable of hitting the gunpowder holder, undulations and undulations of the striking arm, and the above. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a rotating part that can simultaneously send out the gunpowder as the igniting material toward the gunpowder holder and open the cap that is biased in the opening direction so as to seal the ignition and combustion part. It is something.

The present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a container body, which is a metal box-shaped cylinder with a bottom, and as shown in FIG. There is.

3 is a fuel tank, which is a sealed container provided inside the bottom body 1a, which is one of the two halves of the vessel body 1, and is sealed with an oil suitable as a fuel such as volatile petroleum, benzene, or kerosene inside. It is something.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an ignition combustion section, which is provided toward one end of the upper part of the fuel tank 3, and is composed of a combustion wick 5 and a nozzle tube 6.

The combustion wick 5 is made by bundling fibers, and its root part is immersed in the fuel oil in the fuel tank 3, and the upper end is projected outward from the top of the fuel tank 3 to absorb the fuel oil by capillary action. It is sucked up while partially vaporizing it.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a nozzle tube, which is a cylindrical body protruding from the upper part of the fuel tank 3, through which the upper end of the combustion wick 5 inserted into the fuel tank 3 is inserted and locked. The container body 1 is divided into two parts, and inside the lid-like body ^1b , there are a gunpowder holder 7, a striking arm 8, a rotating part 9, a cap opening leaf spring 10, and a locking leaf spring for locking the cap. 11 and gunpowder 12 are provided.

The gunpowder holder 7 is an arc-shaped plate provided approximately in the center in the direction of the upper end of the lid-shaped body 1 ^b and whose upper portion is a horizontal surface.
The striking arm 8 is made of a plate spring body, is erected in the direction of the hinge 2 in the container body 1, and has a striking part 8a formed by bending the upper end into a substantially shape. It is provided so that it can be strongly struck against the gunpowder holder 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a rotating part, which includes a rotating gear 13 provided inside the lid-like body 1 b of the vessel body 1 and the outside of the lid-like body 1 ^b of the vessel body 1, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and ⁵ . Consisting of a ring 14 provided on the side, the ring 14 and the rotating gear 1
3 and are coaxially connected and integrally provided.
As shown in FIG. 5, the rotary gear 13 is circumscribed with a striking arm 8 made of a plate spring body, and when the rotary gear 13 is rotated to the left, the rotary gear 1 is rotated as the rotary gear 13 rotates.
The chevron-shaped teeth 15 protruding from the plate spring member 3 bias the striking arm 8 of the leaf spring body while raising it in the two directions of the hinge.
As a result, the striking arm 8 strongly strikes the striking portion 8a against the gunpowder holder 7 due to the biasing force of the spring.

That is, as the rotating gear 13 of the rotating section 9 rotates,
The teeth 15 of the rotating gear 13 come into contact with and separate from each other to raise the striking arm 8, and when the teeth 15 come off the striking arm 8, the striking arm 8 is brought down, and the rotating gear 13 eventually raises the striking arm 8.

The rotating gear 13 is rotated by rotating a ring 14 coaxially provided on the outside of the container body 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, a cylindrical winding body 16 is protruded toward the center of the rotating gear 13.
A biting groove 17 is provided in which grooves are cut out in opposite directions.

The opening plate spring 10 is attached to the container body 1 as shown in FIG.
The lid-like body 1 ^b is erected in the direction of the hinge 2, and the upper end thereof is projected upwardly from the container body 1, and the lid-like body 1b is bent outward in the direction of the hinge 2 and inserted into the cap 18, and the cap 18 is opened in the opening direction. It is energizing.

The locking leaf spring 11 is erected on the inner side of the cover body ^1b in the opposite direction to the hinge 2, with its lower end fixed to the shaft, and its upper end is attached to the hinge 2 as shown in FIG.
It is bent in a shape in the direction, and is provided so as to be removably engaged with a hook rod 19 inside the cap 18 when the cap 18 is closed.

A pin 20 is provided protruding from the lower end of the locking leaf spring 11, and a mountain-shaped locking protrusion 21 is further provided toward the center of the locking plate spring 11.
The teeth 15 of the rotary gear 13, which are urged to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotational direction, are provided so as to contact and lock with the locking protrusion 21.

The gunpowder 12 is made by winding a paper tape 22 in a spiral shape, making gunpowder beads in the form of dotted lines on the surface in the longitudinal direction at equal intervals, and then layering a thin paper tape 12 over the beads to fix the gunpowder to the paper tape 22. However, it is what is called paper ball gunpowder.

The gunpowder 12 may be black gunpowder or smokeless gunpowder.

In this way, the type of gunpowder does not matter, but it is more desirable for it to produce sound, light, odor, and some smoke when it ignites, in order to attract interest.

The gunpowder 12 locks its spiral center with the leaf spring 1
After fitting and attaching the pin 20 of 1 to the gunpowder holder 7 at its tip end as shown in FIG.
It is inserted into and locked, and is wound up as the rotary gear 13 rotates.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cap 18 is provided on the top of the container 1 so that it can be opened and closed in a sealed manner, and is biased in the opening direction by the opening/closing leaf spring 10 and closed in a sealed manner on the container 1. Then, the tip of the locking leaf spring 11 engages with the hook rod 19 protruding inside the cap 18 and is locked.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a locking hole drilled in the bottom body 1a of the container body 1, and a locking hole 2 protruding from a part of the side of the lid body ^1b .
4 is removably locked in the locking hole 23.

Operation In the present invention, the container 1 is opened as shown in FIG. A cap 18 that locks into the biting groove 17 of the winding body 16 provided toward the center, attaches the gunpowder 12, and seals the ignition combustion part 4 in the upper part of the vessel body 1.
Close it to the state shown in Figure 1.

To ignite, slightly rotate the ring 14 of the container 1 to rotate the rotary gear 13, and the teeth 15 press the locking leaf spring 11 outward, so that the cap 18 at the tip of the locking leaf spring 11 is released from the hooking rod 19, and the cap 18 is released by the biasing force of the release leaf spring 10, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 3.

Next, when the ring 14 is strongly rotated, the striking arm 8, which had been erected by the teeth 15 of the rotating gear 13, falls down due to the force of the spring, and the striking part 8a strongly strikes the gunpowder 12 placed on the gunpowder holder 7. Suddenly, the gunpowder 12 explodes and ignites, and this ignition ignites the combustion wick 5.

To extinguish a fire, the cap 18 shown in FIG. 3 is closed as shown in FIG. 1 to seal the upper part of the vessel 1, and the supply of oxygen is reduced to naturally extinguish the fire. To replace the gunpowder 12, rotate the ring 14 slightly as shown in FIG. This is done by keeping it engaged.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. When the fuel tank 3 is sealed, the fuel becomes a liquefied fuel gas such as butane. The fuel tank 3 is inserted into the fuel tank 3, and the other end is made to protrude outward from the fuel tank 3 to provide a gas jet ignition 25.

This has the effect that the combustion wick 5 is not required.

Effects Since the present invention is constructed as described above and uses gunpowder as the ignition material, every time the lighter is lit, sound, light, odor, and smoke are generated, which can arouse interest and interest in lighters.

The striking arm 8 can be held in an upright state by the teeth 15 of the rotary gear 13 and the locking protrusion 21 provided on the locking plate spring 11, and the gunpowder 12 can be easily attached and removed.
