Benefits of technology
[0003] One objective of the present invention is to provide a lighter with changeable flames, combining the advantages of both candlelight lighter and windproof torch lighter. The lighter with changeable flames removes the defect that insulation materials must be provided in the ordinary windproof torch lighter or the structure of directional jump sparks, has greatly enhanced the ignition rate of windproof flames and lifetime of use, and comes up to the windproof and long-time-use requirement.
[0004] An other objective of the present invention is to provide a gas flow control switch which makes the candle light flame ignite the inflammable gas in the spray nozzle so as to produce very high ignition rate of windproof flame, and has simple and rational structure with no increase in the size of the lighter, achieving an easy and operable exchange of two types of flames.
[0005] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a lighter having a gas diverting passage with a changeable flames, which may produce high-temperature torch flames.
[0015] The lighter with changeable flames according to the present invention, in addition to achieving relatively strong windproof effect, may cause less heat, provides illumination, and produces very strong high-temperature flames by introducing candlelight flames to the fuel gas of the quick flow nozzle, replacing the traditional electronic igniter device whereby sparks are made jumped over to said quick flow nozzle. The present invention has a very high rate of ignition rate with the strong and high-temperature flames, thus greatly prolonging the life time of use of the quick nozzle.
Problems solved by technology
Nevertheless, such flames are weaker and may be easily affected by the environment of use, thus limiting the scope of application.
However, as such a structure of windproof lighters must provide in its combustion system a combustion chamber made of insulation materials so that the electrical igniter may produce directional jumping sparks to lighten the inflammable gas in said combustion chamber, the sparks generated by said electrical igniters may fail to jump directionally (electric leakage) once the insulation materials crack caused by the higher temperature of windproof torch flames.
In addition, the wires extend into the combustion chamber may also be very easily burned and melted by the high-temperature windproof torch flame, failing to direct the jumping sparks and to set flames to inflammable gas.
Furthermore, also as the wires extend into the combustion chamber, normal formation of flames are affected and the stability and quality of windproof torch flames are degraded, and due to the fact that a certain span must be kept between the wire and the spray nozzle in the combustion chamber for jumping sparks, the rate of ignition of the electrical igniter would be degraded if the span is varied in error.

Embodiment Construction
[0023] Referring to FIG. 1. The lighter with changeable flames according to the present invention includes: [0024] a fuel gas storing container 1 having at least an outlet valve 11 fixed therein, at least a moveable lever 2 for controlling gas supply of said outlet valve 11, a quick flow nozzle 4 connecting to the gas passages of said fuel gas storing container 1 and having a cover 41 provided thereon; and [0025] a bracket 3 connecting to said container 1 and having fixed therein an electrical igniter device 5 with a wire 51, [0026] wherein aid quick flow nozzle 4 also includes, at its side, a candlelight flame outlet tube 7 connecting to said container 1. The preferred embodiment is to provide a candlelight flame outlet tube 7 between said quick nozzle 4 and said electrical igniter device 5. Said candlelight flame outlet tube 7 has provided thereon an ignition cavity 71 into which said wire 51 of said electrical ignition device 5 extends, and said ignition cavity 71, connecting to ...

A lighter with changeable flames, comprising: a fuel gas storing container having at least an outlet valve fixed therein, at least a moveable lever for controlling gas supply of said outlet valve, a quick flow nozzle connecting to the gas passages of said fuel gas storing container, characterized by further comprising: a bracket connecting to said container and having fixed therein an electrical igniter device with a wire, wherein a side of aid quick flow nozzle also includes a candlelight flame outlet tube connecting to said container and there is provided thereon with an ignition cavity, and said electrical igniter device has its wire extend into said ignition cavity in said candlelight outlet tube; a gas control switch provided between said candlelight outlet tube and said container for opening or closing gas passage of said candlelight flame outlet tube, which, when unactuated, has said electrical igniter operated and the gas flown out of said outlet valve ignited to produce candlelight flame, and, when actuated, directs the fuel gas out of said outlet valve to said quick flow nozzle to be ignited by said candlelight flame and turned into a strong and high temperature flame.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an igniter device, and, in particular, to a sort of lighter using inflammable gas as fuel stored in liquidized state. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Currently, lighters on market include candlelight lighters and windproof lighters. Candlelight lighters usually adopt electrical igniters to lighten the sparkling source, which have higher ignition rate, stable flames, longer flammable time without generating heat to the lighter body, and may be used as illumination device with its higher flame. Nevertheless, such flames are weaker and may be easily affected by the environment of use, thus limiting the scope of application. The windproof lighters as well chiefly adopt electrical igniters to set flame to the sparkling source, enhancing the windproof ability and the speed of setting fire to articles, reducing the vulnerability to environment, making higher-temperature flames for higher-temperature welding and broader scope...
