Abstract
This embodiment relates generally to the Fire-Starter Apparatus (200) as a means to provide an instant fire in a safe, portable, time-saving, disposable, and convenient manner. The Fire-Starter Apparatus (200) contains both the fuel and reagents housed in a safe and convenient manner. The Fire-Starter Apparatus (200) relies on the user to cause the separated reagents to admix together, causing an exothermic reaction between reagents as a result of a chemical reaction between reagents.
Claims20
A disposable fire-starting apparatus comprising:
- a housing configured to have:
- a first end and a second end,
- a storage cell,
- an initiation region,
- an annular ring,
- a first reagent,
- a second reagent,
- a removable barrier interposed between the storage cell and the initiation region in a selective manner,
- Wherein the at least first reagent is housed in the storage cell situated longitudinally away from the first end in an offset manner that defines a depression within the housing;
- wherein the annular ring prevents the at least second reagent in the initiation region from moving;
- wherein the initiation region houses the at least a second reagent adjacent to the at least first reagent;
- wherein both the storage cell and initiation region are in continuous communication with each other in a selective and thermal communicative way;
- whereby upon user's urging, the barrier is removed from its interposed position and the at least first reagent evacuates from the storage cell into the initiation region, bringing the at least first reagent into contact with the at least second reagent, resulting in a contact that causes both the at least reagents to undergo a spontaneous exothermic chemical reaction thereby initiating said exothermic chemical reaction of said reagents;
- wherein the chemical reaction relies on the depression to prevent unintentional activation;
- wherein the urging causes the first reagent to increase pressure against the removable barrier that further causes the removable barrier to move from its interposed position.
