Portable illumination device

A portable illumination device for the production of light effects, comprising:

• a carrier comprising a hollow cylinder handle, open on both ends thereof;
• the carrier having a shield-like flame protector at the first end thereof;
• the carrier having a notch-like expansion at the second end thereof, the notch-like expansion extending along a longitudinal axis of the cylinder, the notch-like expansion having a width of about 25% of the cylinder circumference, and a length of at least 50% of the handle length;
• a light-emitting device connectable with the carrier and operated by an open flame;
• the light-emitting device being a gas lighter held inside the handle by a holding device on an inner wall of the handle;
• a set of operational elements of the gas lighter contained in the notch-like expansion;
• the flame protector being in the shape of a spherical cap;
• a wind shield installed on the flame protector, the wind shield comprising a tube attached to a ring flange inside the flame protector;
• the wind shield made of metal and arranged in a detachable manner;
• the wind shield overlapping an upper edge of the flame protector by about one-third of its length;
• and
• the flame protector attached to the handle in a detachable manner.

A portable illumination device for the production of light effects, comprising:

• a carrier and
• a light-emitting device connectable with the carrier and operated by an open flame,
• wherein the carrier comprises a handle essentially designed as a hollow cylinder carrying at one end, a shield-like flame protector in the shape of a spherical cap, and
• wherein the light-emitting device is a gas lighter arranged inside the handle, a cylinder wall of which comprises, at an end opposite the flame protector, an essentially notch-like expansion extending along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder and containing operation elements of the gas lighter, a width of the notch being about 25% of the cylinder circumference, and a notch length being at least 50% of the length of handle.
