ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es sabido, la gran mayoría de los mecheros o encendedores de bolsillo están constituidos mediante un cuerpo alargado, que actúa como depósito contenedor de gas, rematado por uno de sus extremos en una válvula para la salida del gas, con su correspondiente pulsador de accionamiento, asistida por un mecanismo de encendido en el que participa una roldana situada inmediatamente por encima del citado pulsador, de manera que el accionamiento del mecanismo de encendido se realiza simultáneamente al de apertura valvular en una operación única, manteniéndose el mechero encendido en tanto el pulsador se mantiene accionado.As is known, the vast majority of lighters or pocket lighters are constituted by an elongated body, which acts as a container gas container, topped by one of its ends in a valve for the exit of the gas, with its corresponding push button , assisted by an ignition mechanism in which a roller is located immediately above the mentioned button, so that the activation of the ignition mechanism is carried out simultaneously to the valve opening in a single operation, keeping the lighter on while the button is pressed It stays powered.
Esta solución, funcionalmente válida en condiciones normales, supone una serie de limitaciones que se centran fundamentalmente en los siguientes aspectos: En la utilización del mechero a la intemperie y cuando sopla el viento, resulta difícil tanto el encendido del mismo como el mantenimiento de la llama.This solution, functionally valid under normal conditions, involves a series of limitations that focus primarily on the following aspects: When using the lighter in the open and when the wind blows, it is difficult both to ignite it and to maintain the flame.
Cuando el mechero se utiliza como elemento de iluminación, al problema anteriormente expuesto hay que añadirle la necesidad de mantener el pulsador accionado permanentemente, de manera que el dedo del usuario queda situado en proximidad a la llama, con el consecuente riesgo de quemaduras.When the lighter is used as a lighting element, the need to keep the button permanently activated is added to the problem described above, so that the user's finger is located in proximity to the flame, with the consequent risk of burns.
En esta segunda utilización del encendedor y cuando la iluminación tiene como finalidad realizar cualquier tipo de manipulación, la atención del usuario se centra sobre tal manipulación y al riesgo de quemaduras en los dedos hay que añadir además la posibilidad de que la llama del mechero entre en contacto con cualquier objeto que pudiera arder.In this second use of the lighter and when the lighting is intended to perform any type of manipulation, the user's attention is focused on such manipulation and the risk of burns on the fingers must also add the possibility that the lighter flame enters contact with any object that could burn.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El accesorio para mecheros que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en todos y cada uno de los diferentes aspectos comentados.The cigarette lighter accessory that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the aforementioned problem, in each and every one of the different aspects mentioned.
Para ello y de forma más concreta dicho accesorio se materializa en una carcasa tubular, preferentemente de material plástico transparente o translúcido y en cualquier caso de material ignífugo, de geometría adecuada a la del mechero al que ha de acoplarse, con la especial particularidad de que dicha carcasa, longitudinalmente sobredimensionada con respecto al mechero, sobresale del extremo de encendido de este último en una magnitud suficiente como para proteger lateralmente la llama, incorporando además una amplia escotadura lateral de acceso directo al mecanismo de encendido, en una maniobra convencional.For this, and more specifically, said accessory is materialized in a tubular housing, preferably of transparent or translucent plastic material and in any case of flame retardant material, of suitable geometry to that of the lighter to which it is to be coupled, with the special feature that said housing, longitudinally oversized with respect to the lighter, protrudes of the ignition end of the latter in a sufficient magnitude to protect the flame laterally, also incorporating a wide lateral recess of direct access to the ignition mechanism, in a conventional maneuver.
De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, la citada carcasa presenta a nivel inferior de la escotadura un pequeño puente transversal, que queda operativamente enfrentado al pulsador del mechero, de manera que un desplazamiento axial de este último en el seno de la carcasa provoca la apertura valvular con lo que, tras la citada y clásica maniobra de encendido y previa disposición del mechero de manera que el pulsador quede accionado, la llama se mantiene activa sin necesidad de la clásica presión manual sobre el pulsador y pudiendo sustentar el conjunto por la zona extrema e inferior del mismo o totalmente alejada de la llama, por donde se estime más conveniente.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, said housing has a small transverse bridge at the lower level of the recess, which is operatively facing the lighter button, so that an axial displacement of the latter in the housing causes the valve to open, which, after the aforementioned and classic ignition maneuver and prior arrangement of the lighter so that the button is activated, the flame remains active without the need for the classic manual pressure on the button and can sustain the assembly by the extreme and inferior zone of the same or totally away from the flame, where it is considered more convenient.
De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, la carcasa tubular está infradimensionada en anchura con respecto al cuerpo del mechero e incorpora un corte longitudinal que la convierte en un elemento "pinzante", de manera que el mechero queda perfectamente estabilizado en su interior, en cualquier posición elegida para el mismo, por la tendencia a la recuperación elástica de dicha carcasa.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, the tubular housing is under-sized in width with respect to the body of the lighter and incorporates a longitudinal cut that makes it a "pincer" element, so that the lighter is perfectly stabilized inside , in any position chosen for it, due to the elastic recovery tendency of said housing.
Para facilitar las maniobras de desplazamiento axial del mechero en el interior de la carcasa, se ha previsto que esta última incorpore a nivel de su embocadura inferior, por donde se acopla inicialmente el mechero, muescas que faciliten el agarre de este último.To facilitate the axial displacement maneuvers of the lighter inside the housing, it is provided that the latter incorporates at the level of its lower mouth, where the lighter is initially coupled, notches that facilitate the grip of the latter.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN A la vista de estas figuras puede observarse cómo el accesorio que se preconiza es aplicable a mecheros o encendedores de bolsillo provistos de un cuerpo (1), alargado, provisto en uno de sus extremos de un pulsador lateral (2) para accionamiento del dispositivo valvular, e inmediatamente por encima y por dentro de dicho pulsador (2) de una roldana (3) para accionamiento simultáneo del mecanismo de encendido, pudiendo dicho mechero adoptar la configuración representada en las figuras o cualquiera otra 'convencional, ya que el accesorio ajustará su configuración formal y dimensiones a las exigencias específicas de cada mechero.PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In view of these figures it can be seen how the accessory that is recommended is applicable to lighters or pocket lighters provided with an elongated body (1), provided at one of its ends with a side push button (2) for actuating the valve device , and immediately above and inside said push button (2) of a roller (3) for simultaneous actuation of the ignition mechanism, said lighter being able to adopt the configuration represented in the figures or any other conventional, since the accessory will adjust its formal configuration and dimensions to the specific requirements of each lighter.
Pues bien, el accesorio se materializa en una carcasa tubular (4) que, como anteriormente se ha dicho, está obtenida preferentemente a base de material plástico transparente o translúcido y en cualquier caso ignífugo, destinada a alojar el cuerpo (1) del mechero en su interior, pero presentando una longitud considerablemente mayor que la de este último, tal como se observa especialmente en las figuras 4 y 5, de manera que en dicha carcasa (4) se establece un amplio sector superior (5), sobresaliente con respecto al mechero y actuante como medio protector para la llama (6) de este último, frente a los efectos del viento.Well, the accessory is materialized in a tubular casing (4) which, as previously mentioned, is preferably obtained based on transparent or translucent plastic material and in any case flame retardant, intended to accommodate the body (1) of the lighter in its interior, but having a length considerably greater than that of the latter, as observed especially in Figures 4 and 5, so that in said housing (4) a large upper sector (5) is established, protruding with respect to the lighter and acting as a protective medium for the flame (6) of the latter, against the effects of the wind.
Este sector prominente (5) de la carcasa (4) cuenta con una amplia escotadura lateral (7) que permite el directo acceso manual a la roldana (3) correspondiente al mecanismo de encendido del mechero.This prominent sector (5) of the housing (4) has a wide lateral recess (7) that allows direct manual access to the sheave (3) corresponding to the lighter ignition mechanism.
La carcasa (4), preferentemente en su arista correspondiente al plano medio de la escotadura (7), incorpora una ranura o corte longitudinal (8) que permite un ligero infradimensionamiento de dicha carcasa con respecto al cuerpo (1) del mechero, al objeto de conseguir un efecto "pinzante" sobre este último y, consecuentemente, la presión necesaria para que el mechero quede establemente alojado en el interior de la carcasa. La carcasa (4) incorpora además, a nivel inferior de la escotadura (7), un puente transversal (9) convenientemente enfrentado al pulsador (2) del mechero, de manera que dicho pulsador, en lugar de ser accionado en la propia maniobra de encendido, simultáneamente al accionamiento de la roldana (3), se acciona por desplazamiento axial ascendente del cuerpo (1) del encendedor en el seno de la carcasa (4), concretamente presionando sobre la base inferior (10) del mismo.The housing (4), preferably at its edge corresponding to the middle plane of the recess (7), incorporates a slot or longitudinal cut (8) that allows a slight under-dimensioning of said housing with respect to the body (1) of the lighter, to the object to achieve a "pinching" effect on the latter and, consequently, the pressure necessary for the lighter to be stably housed inside the housing. The housing (4) also incorporates, at the lower level of the recess (7), a transverse bridge (9) conveniently facing the button (2) of the lighter, so that said button, instead of being operated in the maneuver itself On, simultaneously with the drive of the sheave (3), it is activated by upward axial displacement of the body (1) of the lighter inside the housing (4), specifically by pressing on the lower base (10) thereof.
Para facilitar la maniobra de recuperación posicional del mecheroTo facilitate the lighter position recovery maneuver
(1), es decir para que éste pase de nuevo a la situación inoperante mediante desplazamiento descendente del mismo con respecto a la carcasa (4), se ha previsto que esta última incorpore una pareja de muescas laterales (11), a modo de uñeros, dimensionalmente adecuados para permitir el agarre con los dedos del cuerpo (1) del mechero.(1), that is to say, so that it returns to the inoperative situation by means of downward displacement thereof with respect to the housing (4), it is provided that the latter incorporates a pair of lateral notches (11), by way of nails , dimensionally suitable to allow the finger grip of the body (1) of the lighter.
Finalmente, en la zona de la carcasa (4) opuesta a la ranura longitudinal (8), se establece un tabique interior (12), también longitudinal, determinante de una canalización (13) que, desde la extremidad inferior del conjunto, se abre hacia la zona de encendido del mechero, favoreciendo la entrada de aire, es decir la entrada de comburente a la zona de combustión.Finally, in the area of the housing (4) opposite the longitudinal groove (8), an internal partition (12), also longitudinal, is established, which determines a pipe (13) that, from the lower end of the assembly, opens towards the lighter ignition zone, favoring the entry of air, that is to say the combustion inlet to the combustion zone.
De acuerdo con esta estructuración, el funcionamiento del accesorio es el siguiente:According to this structuring, the operation of the accessory is as follows:
El mechero (1) se acopla con carácter estable en el seno de la carcasaThe lighter (1) is stably coupled inside the housing
(4) merced a una ligera deformación elástica de esta última, posible gracias a la existencia de la ranura longitudinal (8), hasta una situación en la que el pulsador(4) thanks to a slight elastic deformation of the latter, made possible by the existence of the longitudinal groove (8), until a situation in which the button
(2) del mechero se aproxima al puente transversal (9) sin llegar a incidir sobre el mismo. A partir de esta situación de reposo y para el encendido del mechero se presiona inicialmente sobre la base (10) de este último, provocando un ligero desplazamiento axial del mismo, suficiente para que el pulsador (2) presione contra el puente transversal (9) y se produzca la apertura valvular, e inmediatamente a continuación se actúa sobre la roldana (3) del mecanismo de encendido, con lo que se consigue simultáneamente dos efectos, en primer lugar que la llama (6) quede protegida por la prolongación superior (5) de la carcasa, y que el encendedor se mantenga indefinidamente encendido sin necesidad de mantener presionado manualmente el pulsador (2).(2) of the lighter approaches the transverse bridge (9) without affecting it. From this situation of rest and for the ignition of the lighter, it is pressed initially on the base (10) of the latter, causing a slight axial displacement thereof, sufficient for the button (2) to press against the transverse bridge (9) and the valve opening occurs, and immediately thereafter, the sheave (3) of the ignition mechanism is actuated, thereby achieving two effects simultaneously, first that the flame (6) is protected by the upper extension (5 ) of the housing, and that the lighter is kept on indefinitely without having to manually press and hold the button (2).
Esto permite una óptima funcionalidad del encendedor en zonas de viento y permite la utilización del mechero como elemento de iluminación sin tener que mantener accionado el pulsador del mechero, lo que resulta especialmente idóneo cuando el mechero se utiliza como elemento de iluminación o como elemento luminoso en conciertos y otros espectáculos en los que constituye costumbre habitual por parte del público, así como también en otros supuestos prácticos en los que se requiere de este tipo de prestación. This allows an optimal functionality of the lighter in windy areas and allows the use of the lighter as a lighting element without having to keep the button of the lighter activated, which is especially suitable when the lighter is used as a lighting element or as a luminous element in concerts and other shows in which it constitutes habitual custom on the part of the public, as well as in other practical cases in which this type of benefit is required.
