Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a lighter with a built-in clock module.

Conventional lighters with a clock have a structure in which the clock is embedded in the side of the lighter body.

For this reason, lighters with clocks were heavier than regular lighters and had to be larger to accommodate the fuel tank, making them not very suitable for portable use.

However, as technology advances, electronic watches, which are completely different from mechanical watches, have been developed one after another, and the miniaturization of the watch modules has made it possible to incorporate them into lighters.

This invention was made in view of this point, and its purpose is to utilize the lighter case as a fixing member for a fuel tank equipped with an ignition operating device, which is essential for constructing a lighter. Furthermore, by using the bottom cover of the case as a setting member for the clock module, the lighter with a clock can be assembled rationally and disassembled very easily.

This invention will be explained in detail below using illustrated examples.

In the figure, 1 is a vertically elongated lighter case with an open lower end, and 2 is a case bottom cover that closes the lower opening, and although not shown in the figure, it has a locking part on a part of the periphery that fits into the lower edge of the lighter case.

A rectangular time display window hole 3 is bored horizontally on the lower left side of the front of the lighter case 1, and a fuel tank 4 is inserted and fixed in the lighter case above the window hole 3. It is.

At the top of this fuel tank 4, there is a tinder valve 5 located below the tinder 12 provided at the top end of the lighter case 1, and a flint storage cylinder 6 extending through the tank to the bottom cover 2 of the case.
An ignition device is provided which consists of an ignition shaft 7 at the top of the ignition shaft 7 and a valve opening/closing plate 8 whose front end is fitted into the nozzle valve 5 and whose rear end is positioned below the ignition shaft 7.

Further, at the bottom of the fuel tank 4, there is an injection valve 11 that extends to the case bottom cover 2 in parallel with the flint storage cylinder 6.

A flint 6a is placed at the lower end of the flint storage pipe 6 on a ignition shaft 7.
A screw cap 6C is provided to receive the coil spring 6b that presses the flint, and when it becomes necessary to replace the flint 6a, the screw cap 6C is removed from the flint storage tube 6, the coil spring 6b is pulled out, and the worn out spark is removed. Remove the stones from the flint storage tube 6, then insert the new flint 6a and coil spring 6b into the flint storage tube 6 in this order, and attach the removed screw cap 6C to the lower end of the flint storage tube 6 again. All you have to do is screw it on.

Furthermore, a cover member 11a such as a tie-cover is attached to the lower end of the injection valve 11, like a normal injection valve.After removing this cover member 11a, the injection valve 1
The fuel can be injected by pushing the nozzle of the fuel cylinder into the lower end of the fuel tank.

A clock module 9 is fixed on the bottom cover 2 of the case, shifted to the left so that the time display section 10 faces the window hole 3, and has a set button 9a and a reset button 9b.
and are exposed to the outside through the bottom plate.

In the lighter with a clock having the above structure, the fuel tank 4 having the ignition device at the top is fixed in the upper part of the lighter case 1 to constitute the lighter, and the clock module 9 is placed to one side on the bottom cover 2 of the lighter. Since it is fixed, the watch module 9 can be attached to and removed from the lighter case 1 by attaching and detaching the case bottom cover 2.

In addition, since the space below the fuel tank 1 is used as a storage space for the clock module 9, the clock module 9 may be separated from the fuel tank 4 or a heat insulating material may be provided to prevent this from occurring during fuel injection. This can prevent malfunctions due to cooling.

Therefore, according to this invention, although the watch module is housed inside the lighter case, it can be easily assembled and disassembled, which not only reduces the number of manufacturing steps but also saves labor and reduces costs. It can be done.

In addition, since the watch module is placed one side inside the lighter case, even if the watch module is located below the fuel tank, the flint storage cylinder and injection valve can be installed all the way to the bottom of the lighter, without having to remove the bottom cover of the lighter. It also has the advantage of being able to replace the flint and inject fuel, as well as test the performance of the lighter before installing the watch module.
