CLOSED SPARKING DEVICE FOR LIGHTER WITH ENGAGEABLE CONTROL COMPONENT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F23Q2/34 

FIELD: lighters.

SUBSTANCE: the sparking device has a spark former, whose design provides for spark formation, closing component made so that at the instant of actuation of the spark former the contact of the user with the spark former is in essence precluded, and at least one control component, whose design is such so as the user could manipulate this component and move it respectively. The device has a control component, having at least two separate ties with the spark former including the first tie, in which the control component can move with respect to the spark former, and a tie providing the efficient position, in which the control component displaces the spark former. The parking device in addition has a clutch mechanism that provides a detachable joint of the control component and the spark former. At least one control component is made for provision of rotary motion for actuation of the spark former, when the control component is in such a tie with the park former in which the efficient position is ensured. The closing component has a safety device located in the radial direction outside relative to the control component. The distance, at which the above safety device is positioned in the radial direction outside relative to the control component, is sufficient to prevent manipulation of the mentioned, at least one, control component, the above safety device is made elastic deformable under the action of the force applied to it directed inside and having at least the preset value for manipulation of at least one control component. At least one control component has such a design at which at a shift of the control component under the action of the respective force applied to it is sufficient for engagement and having a preset value; at least one control component is changed over to such a tie with the spark former in which the efficient position is ensured. At least one control component has a design providing actuation of the spark former when the motion in the direction of its actuation is completed, and the force required for engagement is applied at an angle to the direction of its engagement. At least one control component is made with provision of rotation for actuation of the spark former, and the force required for the respective engagement is applied in essence in the radial direction.

EFFECT: prevented use of the lighter by an unauthorized person.
