Abstract
The lighter has a cover which, in its closed position, moves an actuating lever for the gas valve to a retracted position in which the lever cannot be actuated to open the valve. When the cover is open, the lever is moved to an operating position in which the user can operate the lever to open the valve and ignite the gas then flowing through the valve.
Claims8
Gas lighter comprising a body, a cover movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the body, and defining with the body, an interior space when the cover is in the closed position on the body, a valve mounted on the body in said space to be moved from a closed position, in which flow of gas is prevented, to an open position which permits the gas to flow, a valve lever mounted on said body to permit the opening of the valve, said valve lever being movable from a retracted position where it is entirely contained in said space to an operating position extending outside said space where it can be activated by the user to open the valve, and means to displace the valve lever from its retracted position to the operating position in response to displacement of the cover from its closed position to its open position, and wherein the lighter is a lighter with a friction wheel, the operating position of the valve lever being such that it can be activated by the same finger of the user as that which provides the rotation of the wheel.
Gas lighter comprising a body, a cover movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the body, and defining with the body, an interior space when the cover is in the closed position on the body, a valve mounted on the body in said space to be moved from the closed position, in which flow of gas is prevented, to an open position which permits the gas to flow, a valve lever mounted on said body to permit the opening of the valve, said valve lever being movable from a retracted position where it is entirely contained in said space to an operating position where it can be activated by the user to open the valve, and means to displace the valve lever from its retracted position to the operating position in response to displacement of the cover from its closed position to its open position, and wherein the lighter is an electric lighter, a switch placed in an ignition circuit being capable of being closed by the valve lever in the position where the valve lever causes the opening of the valve.
Gas lighter comprising a body, a cover movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the body, and defining with the body, an interior space when the cover is in the closed position on the body, a valve mounted on the body in said space to be moved from a closed position, in which flow of gas is prevented, to an open position which permits the gas to flow, a valve lever mounted on said body to permit the opening of the valve, said valve lever being movable from a retracted position where it is entirely contained in said space to an operating position extending outside said space where it can be activated by the user to open the valve, and means to displace the valve lever from its retracted position to the operating position in response to displacement of the cover from its closed position to its open position.
