Benefits of technology

[0003]The technical problem and task to be addressed by the present invention are to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, to provide a flint wheel lighter with improved safety performance.
[0004]The invention provides a flint wheel lighter with a safety rod, which can prevent fire disasters and accidents by using the safety rod for controlling the operation of the flint wheel.

Problems solved by technology

If ignition is required, a user may rotate the flint wheel clockwise to cause the flint producing electric sparks, and in the meantime pressing down the press plate with a finger to cause the press plate pushing up the vent needle, so as to open the vent valve by the vent needle, resulting letting out the flammable gas to fire.
A lighter, in case that no safety device is provided, is very easy to be ignited and results in hurts to children and even damage to public safety due to the inflammable gas contained therein.

first embodiment

[0031]As shown in FIGS. 1-5, a flint wheel lighter with a safety rod comprises a casing 1, a fuel container 2 disposed in the casing, and a windproof hood 3 above the fuel container. A vent assembly is disposed on the same side as the windproof hood 3. An ignition assembly is disposed on the other side. Said ignition assembly comprises a press plate 4, a flint 5, a flint spring 6, and a flint wheel 7 which are assembled in a conventional way. Said vent assembly comprises a vent valve 8 and a vent needle 9 which are assembled in a conventional way. The vent needle 9 functions to cooperate with the press plate 4. A bent safety rod 10 rotatable with the flint wheel 7 is deposited on one side of the flint wheel 7. The safety rod 10 is provided with a correspondent pivot hole 12, and its two sections form an angle of 120°. Both ends of the two sections protrude out of the rim of the flint wheel 7. In the normal mode (safety mode), the end of the left section butts against the inner surfa...

second embodiment

[0033]As shown in FIGS. 6-10, what differs the second embodiment from the first one lies in that the former has two of said bent safety rods 10 disposed on both sides of the flint wheel 7. The two bent safety rods 10 are connected by a shaft 11. The three components, the bent safety rods and the shaft, form a safety assembly. In this way, the two sides of the flint wheel have said safety rods disposed thereon, said safety rods are parallel with one another and connected by a shaft to form a safety assembly for achieving a better safety effect.

[0034]In the embodiments, the flint wheel and the safety rod of the said flint wheel lighter with a safety rod are coaxially connected (the safety rod has a correspondent pivot hole), so the safety rod may rotate together with the flint wheel. The structure of the invention is simple, with a safety rod rotatable with the flint wheel additionally disposed on the prior art flint wheel lighter. The safety rod can effectively control the action of ...

Abstract

A flint wheel lighter with a safety device, comprises a casing, a fuel container disposed in the casing, a vent assembly, an ignition assembly, and a windproof hood above the fuel container, the ignition assembly is arranged on the side opposite to the windproof hood. Said ignition assembly comprises a press plate, a flint, and a flint wheel. A bent safety rod rotatable with the flint wheel is disposed on the side surface of said flint wheel, with both ends of two sections of said bent safety rods protruding out of the rim of the flint wheel. In a safe mode, the end of one section butts against the inner surface of the top cover of the windproof hood, and the end of the other section lies over the flint wheel. The flint wheel lighter with safety rod provided by the present invention can effectively control the operation of the flint wheel by the safety rod, so as to prevent fire disasters and accidents caused by children playing with the flint wheel.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a lighting apparatus, particularly to a flint wheel lighter with a safety device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The flint wheel lighter widely used at present is a electronic lighting apparatus employing a flammable gas, such as butane, and natural gas etc., as fuel, and including a casing, a fuel container disposed in the casing, a windproof hood above the fuel container. A vent assembly is provided on the same side as that for the windproof hood, while an ignition assembly is provided on the other side. Said ignition assembly comprises a press plate, a flint, a flint spring, and a flint wheel, which are assembled conventionally. Said vent assembly comprises a vent valve and a vent needle assembled conventionally. Said vent needle may functions cooperatively with the press plate. If ignition is required, a user may rotate the flint wheel clockwise to cause the flint producing electric sparks, and in the meantime pressin...
