Benefits of technology

Enables users to efficiently ignite fires and cut materials with a single, versatile tool, reducing the need for multiple devices and enhancing survival capabilities in outdoor and climbing situations by providing a lightweight, multi-functional utility.

Problems solved by technology

Most are stamped with a “Not For Climbing” or similar warning due to a common lack of load-testing and safety standards in manufacturing.
When a user presses down on the striker with their thumb, the wheel turns rapidly over the flint, creating hot sparks.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]In FIG. 1, the basic frame 10 of the carabiner is shown as from a forward perspective. The gate 20 attaches to the lower part of the carabiner and serves as the locking mechanism when pressed inward to hook onto the top of the carabiner frame (not shown in this FIG.). The spark wheel 30 is connected via a spring pin in the lower part of the carabiner frame, also not visible in this FIG.

[0019]FIG. 2 is a side view of the carabiner frame 10 and the gate 20 which hooks on the inside of the top of the frame 40. A user simply presses inward on the gate to release the carabiner, whereby the gate simply rotates in an orifice 50 that allows the gate to rotate within that orifice. Again the spark wheel 30 is shown as it connects to the lower part of the carabiner via a spring pin 60.

[0020]FIG. 3 shows the internal view of the spring 70 that compresses in response to predetermined pressure from a set screw 80. The user spins the spark wheel with a thumb to rotate the spark wheel and str...

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel carabiner that can create sparks or a sustained flame in order to ignite material during outdoor activities. The carabiner has utility as a connecting device as well as its ability to ignite materials. The carabiner can contain a fold out utility blade which may be used to cut materials the user intends to ignite. The fire starting capability may be conducted with one hand which is a clear benefit to any user.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Application claims benefit to Provisional Application 62 / 240,478 filed on Oct. 12, 2015 for the invention disclosed herein.FIELD[0002]The invention relates to a novel carabiner with fire igniting capabilities. More specifically, the present invention allows portable fire starting components to be readily available for nearby fire creations wherein the ability is housed within and a part of a carabiner, and a user can utilize the carabiner and fire starting implement with one hand.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The invention most closely corresponds with USPTO Class 206 / 87 wherein Class 206 relates to lighters with a special receptacle or package, and sub-class 87 includes a flint type device.[0004]Carabiners are widely used in rope-intensive activities such as climbing, arboriculture, caving, sailing, hot air ballooning, rope rescue, construction, industrial rope work, window cleaning, whitewater rescue, and acrobatics. They are p...
