Abstract
"MANUAL BURNER" of the type used to light cigarettes, cigars and any kind of article prone to being lit
with a flame. It comprises essentially a case -1-, inside which there is a wheel or roller -2-, via which a
reduction gear fitted with a recovery spring -3- is driven; this can be locked by a bolt -4- worked from
outside the case by a button -5- and the output shaft of this gear is connected to an electric generator -6-
which powers an incandescent resistance -7- provided at the top of the case. Optionally, instead of the
electric generator -6-, there can be a transmitter of heat by friction -8-, which heats the surface of a plate
at the top -9-.
Description
The purpose of this invention as it is set out in the text of this descriptive report
consists of a "Manual Burner" of the type used to light cigarettes, cigars and any kind of
article prone to being lit with a flame.
Lighting cigars, cigarettes or the like to date has been accomplished using gas
lighters, which comprise a deposit of liquid gas which acts as fuel for the flame, a flame
ignition device, generally using a spark, and a gas-outlet regulator device.
This mechanism has been used over recent decades with a high level of
acceptance amongst consumers, replacing old-fashioned wick lighters which
incorporated a wick which would be lit by the direct action of the spark, and petrol
lighters.
However, gas lighters have the drawback that their lifetime is limited by the fuel
capacity in the deposit. It should be pointed out that refillable lighters have been
designed to counter this limitation, but they have only gained a minimal share of the
market because of the difficulty of this refilling process, in which a large proportion of
the fuel tends to be wasted.
Furthermore, the flint of the gas lighter can wear out before all the gas is used up,
thereby preventing the spark which causes the flame from being produced.
Another component prone to failure is the flame regulator, which causes a loss of
control over the volume and power of the name.
The new manual burner completely solves all these drawbacks, as its operation is
not based on the combustion of hydrocarbons or other matters, but on the transformation
of mechanical energy into calorific energy.
To achieve this, this invention comprises a basically cylindrical case, inside which
there is a wheel or roller, via which a reduction gear is driven.
This reduction gear is associated with a recovery spring, thanks to which the gear
recovers the turns made when it is turned from its rest position.
In order for this recovery to take place when the user so requires, the gear is also
fitted with a locking system using a bolt, worked from the outside of the case by a
button.
This gear has, at the top, an output shaft connected to an electric generator, such
as a dynamo, which will transform the mechanical energy accumulated in the spring into
electrical energy, which powers an incandescent resistance fitted to the top of the case.
Optionally, instead of the electric generator, a mechanism for transferring heat by
friction can be used, which heats the surface of a plate which can incorporate an
incandescent resistance.
Lastly, it should be noted that, by varying the size and output of its electronic
components, it can be connected to a bulb instead of the incandescent resistance,
carrying out the function of a bulb, and even developing enough energy, when spliced in
series, to start up a moving device.
The main benefit of this new manual burner is that it does not require
maintenance, does not consume gas or flints and, lastly, it does not pollute, unlike gas
lighters.
In order to illustrate what we have set out so far, this descriptive report is
accompanied by a sheet of sketches, forming an integrated part of same, showing in a
simplified, diagram form, an example of production, solely for the purpose of illustration
and not restrictive of the practical possibilities of the invention.
In these sketches, Figure 1 is a section view of the new manual burner, in which
the electric generator can be seen.
Figure 2 is a section view of the new burner, showing the heat transmitter which
replaces the electric generator in the case of the manual burner.
The new "Manual Burner" used for lighting cigars, cigarettes or any other kind of
article which is burned, comprises a case -1-, inside which there is a wheel or roller -2-,
via which a reduction gear fitted with a recovery spring -3- is driven; this can be locked
by a bolt -4- worked from outside the case by a button -5-.
The output shaft of this gear is connected to an electric generator -6- which
powers an incandescent resistance -7- provided at the top of the case.
Optionally, instead of the electric generator -6-, there can be a transmitter of heat
by friction -8-, which heats the surface of a plate at the top -9-.
Having given the description referred to in the foregoing report, it must be
stressed that the details of production of the idea set out may undergo minor alterations,
always based on the fundamental principles of the idea, which are essentially those set
out in the paragraphs of same.
Having established the concept expressed, there follows the note of claims,
thereby summarizing the new aspects to be claimed:
In sum, the privilege of exclusive exploitation sought will be based on the
following claims:
Claims (2)
- "MANUAL BURNER", of the kind used for lighting cigars, cigarettes or any other kind of article which is burnt, characterized essentially by the fact that it comprises a case -1-, inside which there is a wheel or roller -2-, via which a reduction gear is driven, fitted with a recovery spring -3- which can be locked by a bolt -4-, worked from outside the case by a button -5-, with the output shaft of the said gear connected to an electric generator -6- which powers an incandescent resistance -7- provided at the top of the case.
- "MANUAL BURNER", as per the preceding claim, characterized by the fact that, instead of the electric generator -6-, there is optionally a transmitter of heat by friction -5-, which heats the surface of a plate at the top -9-.
