Background Art

[0002] In a general portable burner, a gas container mounting part is separately provided on one side of a main body having a burner port, and the gas container mounting part is opened and closed by a cover.

[0003] Such a portable burner is put into another bag for carrying and storage.

[0004] On the other hand, in recent years, the number of camp users has been increasing, and among camping supplies, one of the essential supplies is a burner (stove).

[0005] When camping, a general portable burner may be used, but mainly various types of camping burners are used, such as those with only a connector provided at the burner port.

[0006] The main reasons for separately purchasing and using a camping burner that is not a general portable burner are reasons such as firepower, but it can also be said that the inconvenience of storage during transportation is one of the reasons.

[0007] In particular, when going camping, the number of items needed is so large that it is difficult to pack the luggage. Therefore, camping equipment that is as small as possible and can reduce the volume when stored is gaining popularity. However, typical portable burners tend to be avoided when packing luggage because, after being stored in a plastic bag, they have a large surface area and are flat, making them difficult to pack.

[0008] However, camping burners are significantly more expensive than typical portable burners, resulting in a substantial cost burden for buyers. This has raised concerns about the need for the development of a product that is affordable, safe to use, and convenient to carry and store, while maintaining the form factor of a typical portable burner. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0009] Thus, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a portable burner that, when not in use, can be folded into a more compact form from its wide, flat shape, while enhancing aesthetic appeal by concealing the burner nozzle with wing covers on both sides, making it easy to carry and store. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the portable burner according to the present invention comprises a main body having a nozzle, and two wing covers connected to both ends of the main body by link members, rotatable so as to overlap the upper surface of the main body, and housing the nozzle when rotated upward, wherein one of the two wing covers is provided with a gas container mounting section equipped with a connector connected to the nozzle.

[0011] Furthermore, in the portable burner according to the present invention, the other of the two wing covers is characterized by having a storage compartment.

[0012] Furthermore, in the portable burner according to the present invention, the link member is characterized in that both ends are hinged to the inside of the main body and the inside of the wing cover, respectively, and the main body has a slit formed in the side and top portions that allows the link member to be sandwiched and rotated.

[0013] Furthermore, the portable burner according to the present invention is further characterized by comprising fixing means for maintaining the wing cover in an upward rotation completed state or a downward rotation completed state. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] The portable burner according to the present invention is

[0015] The wing cover, which has a gas container mounting section and a storage section, is connected to both ends of the main body by a link member rotation structure. When not in use, the wing cover can be rotated and folded onto the top surface of the main body, allowing for a more compact design for carrying and storage, while safely concealing the burner and eliminating the need for a separate bag.

[0016] The structure required for the wing cover's vertical rotation is simplified, while the rotational movement of the wing cover is made more stable.

[0017] This design ensures that the wing cover remains fixed in place when folded or unfolded, allowing for safer use and storage. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0036] In this specification, terms such as "First," "Second," etc., are used solely to distinguish components from each other and do not relate to the order in which they were manufactured. The names may not be consistent between the detailed description of the invention and the claims.

[0037] In describing the portable burner according to the present invention, for convenience, a less precise directional standard is specified with reference to Figure 1. With gravity acting in the downward direction, the top, bottom, left, and right directions are determined as they appear. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned, the directions are specified and described according to this standard in the detailed description of the invention and claims related to the other drawings.

[0038] The portable burner according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the present invention relates to a portable burner, and comprises a main body 10 having a nozzle 11, and a pair of wing covers 20A and 20B, each having a gas container mounting section 23 and a storage section 24, respectively.

[0040] Specifically, the present invention is:

[0041] Body 10 having a nozzle 11,

[0042] The main body 10 is connected to both ends by link members 21, and is rotatable so as to overlap the upper surface of the main body 10, and is equipped with side wing covers 20A and 20B that house the nozzle 11 when rotated upward.

[0043] One of the two wing covers 20A and 20B (hereinafter referred to as the first wing cover 20A) is equipped with a gas container mounting section 23 that has a connector 22 connected to the nozzle 11,

[0044] One of the two wing covers 20A and 20B (hereinafter referred to as the second wing cover 20B) is equipped with a storage section 24.

[0045] The main body 10 is in the form of a typical burner, with a nozzle 11 on its upper surface and a support base provided around the nozzle 11.

[0046] The first wing cover 20A and the second wing cover 20B are arranged side by side at both ends of the main body 10, and when not in use, the wing covers 20A and 20B can be rotated upwards on the upper surface of the main body 10 to conceal the burner nozzle 11.

[0047] The first wing cover 20A has an opening at the rear of the gas container mounting section 23 that is shaped like a gas container, allowing the gas container to be clamped in front of it and fastened to the connector 22 provided on the front of the gas container mounting section 23.

[0048] Such a first wing cover 20A is equipped with an ignition mechanism that allows for ignition, extinguishing, and adjustment of the flame output. In the drawing, only a typical knob 25 type ignition mechanism is shown, but a typical burner safety valve or the like may be added.

[0049] The second wing cover 20B has the same form and structure as the first wing cover 20A, except that it is not equipped with the connector 22, and the second wing cover 20B has a storage section 24 inside, which can be used to store other camping equipment or unused gas containers.

[0050] In addition to its use for storing items, this second wing cover 20B, when not in use, protects the burner nozzle 11 together with the first wing cover 20A, concealing the burner shape and evoking a nostalgic, radio-like aesthetic. It can be displayed directly and used as an interior decoration item, rather than being stored separately in a bag.

[0051] The first wing cover 20A and the second wing cover 20B are configured with open inner and lower surfaces, and when rotated upward, they are in close contact with the upper surface of the main body 10, while the nozzle 11 and support base protruding from the upper surface of the main body 10 are housed and hidden inside the wing covers 20A and 20B.

[0052] However, if the main body 10 is configured to lower the height of the nozzle and the support base is designed to allow the protruding top plate to be flipped over, as is the case with a typical burner, the open structure of the wing covers 20A and 20B may differ from that shown in the drawings.

[0053] Furthermore, the link member 21 is hinged at both ends to the inside of the main body 10 and the inside of each wing cover 20A, 20B, respectively.

[0054] The main body 10 has a first slit 12 in which the link member 21 is sandwiched and rotatable, which is formed connecting the side portion and the top portion.

[0055] Specifically, first, a first support portion 14 protrudes from the inside of the main body 10 at a predetermined height, and a second support portion 26 protrudes from the inside of each of the wing covers 20A and 20B at a lower height than the first support portion 14.

[0056] The link member 21, which is in the shape of a bar, has both ends hinged to the first support portion 14 and the second support portion 26, respectively.

[0057] Each wing cover 20A and 20B is equipped with a set of two link members, one at the front and one at the rear.

[0058] Furthermore, the first slit 12 is formed in a groove-like manner, with a portion of the upper and side surfaces of the main body 10 being cut open along the rotation path of the link member 21, so that the link member 21 is connected while passing through the upper and side surfaces of the main body 10, and so that when the wing covers 20A and 20B have completed their vertical rotation, they are in close contact with the main body 10.

[0059] Reference numeral "13" in the drawing indicates a second slit through which a hose or pipe (not shown) connecting the nozzle 11 and the connector 22 passes when the first wing cover 20A rotates up and down.

[0060] Furthermore, the present invention further includes fixing means for maintaining the upward rotation completed state or the downward rotation completed state of the wing covers 20A and 20B.

[0061] As a first embodiment of the fixing means, the present invention includes magnets 27 provided on the inner parts of each wing cover 20A, 20B that are in contact with both ends of the main body 10.

[0062] First, the main body 10 may be further equipped with additional magnets that can be attached by magnetic force, corresponding to the magnets 27 on both wing covers 20A and 20B, or the main body 10 itself may be made of a material that can be attached by magnetic force.

[0063] However, the magnets 27 on both wing covers 20A and 20B are arranged in symmetrical positions relative to each other, but have different polarities.

[0064] As a result, when the wing covers 20A and 20B are folded onto the top surface of the main body 10 when not in use, the magnets 27 on each side of the wing covers 20A and 20B are attracted to each other by magnetic force, preventing the wing covers 20A and 20B from unexpectedly opening and rotating downwards.

[0065] Furthermore, when the wing covers 20A and 20B are spread out to both sides for use, the magnets 27 on each wing cover 20A and 20B are magnetically attached to both sides of the main body 10, fixing the wing covers 20A and 20B in place.

[0066] Next, as a second embodiment of the fixing means, the present invention provides a fastening bolt 28 that penetrates and sandwiches each wing cover 20A, 20B in the left-right horizontal direction, but whose inner tip threaded portion can be screw-connected to both sides of the main body 10 or to the opposite wing cover 20A, 20B.

[0067] Each wing cover 20A, 20B has a guide portion 29 that protrudes upward from its outer surface, with a guide hole 291 in which the tightening bolt 28 is sandwiched and supported at the inner end of the bottom.

[0068] Furthermore, the main body 10 is provided with first fastening holes 15 in the form of screw tabs on both sides, into which the threaded portion of the fastening bolt 28 can be screw-connected.

[0069] Therefore, after spreading the wing covers 20A and 20B to the left and right, tightening the fastening bolts 28 into the first fastening holes 15 prevents the wing covers 20A and 20B from moving unexpectedly, allowing the nozzle 11 to be used safely in a fixed state.

[0070] Furthermore, the tightening bolts 28 for both wing covers 20A and 20B are arranged alternately on lines other than the same line on both sides, and each guide portion 29 is provided with a second fastening hole 292 in the form of a screw tab, into which the threaded portion of the tightening bolt 28 on the opposite side can be screw-connected.

[0071] Referring to the drawing, the guide portion 29 of the first wing cover 20A has a guide hole 291 at the front in which a tightening bolt 28 is inserted, and a second fastening hole 292 is provided at the rear.

[0072] The guide portion 29 of the second wing cover 20B, unlike the first wing cover 20A, has a second fastening hole 292 in front of it, with a tightening bolt 28 sandwiched in the rear guide hole 291.

[0073] The guide hole 291 of the first wing cover 20A and the second fastening hole 292 of the second wing cover 20B are aligned on the same line from left to right, and the second fastening hole 292 of the first wing cover 20A and the guide hole 291 of the second wing cover 20B are aligned on the same line from left to right.

[0074] Therefore, when the wing covers 20A and 20B on both sides are folded onto the top surface of the main body 10, the tightening bolts 28 on both sides are aligned with the second fastening holes 292 of the opposite wing covers 20A and 20B, thereby tightening each tightening bolt 28 into the second fastening holes 292 and preventing the wing covers 20A and 20B from unintentionally opening during carrying and storage.

[0075] In describing the present invention above, the explanation has focused on portable burners with reference to the attached drawings. However, the present invention can be modified, altered, and substituted in various ways by those skilled in the art, and such modifications, alterations, and substitutions should be interpreted as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
