摘要： The piezoelectric ignition mechanism (10) of the present invention has a telescopic assembly having an inner (14) and an outer (12) members aided by a return spring (16) for maintaining a maximum extension between the members. The inner member includes a piezoelectric element (24) which is immobilized between an anvil (22) and impact pad (26) over which a plexor (28) strikes to generate a spark. An impact spring (30) for aiding the plexor is guided in the interior of the telescopic assembly and is disposed between the plexor and an end member connected to the outer telescopic member. A resistant spring (50) is also disposed at or near the end member to provide additional resistance to the operation of the piezoelectric mechanism in order to discourage the undesirable operation by young users.

摘要： A child-resistant lighter includes an actuator (7) and a latch member (8) coupled thereto. The latch member includes a finger actuation portion (92) and an integrally formed body portion (96) having a free end. In one embodiment, the latch member is pivotally coupled to the actuator. In an inoperative position, the free end of the latch member is aligned with a blocking surface (104) of the lighter body, preventing inadvertent lighting. In an operative position, the free end of the latch member is pivoted out of alignment with the blocking surface so that the lighter can function. During pivoting, as the finger actuation portion moves in a forward direction, the free end moves in a rearward direction. The latch member may be disposed on the rear wall of the actuator or in a longitudinally extending channel in the actuator.

摘要： The lighter of the present invention provides a resiliently deformable guard (60) that covers a portion of the striking wheel assembly (14). To operate the lighter, a user exerts sufficient pressure to depress the guard (60) before rotating the striking wheel assembly (14). Additionally, the lighter of the present invention provides blocking members (70) to engage the deformable guard (60) when the user depresses the valve actuator (28) before exerting pressure to depress the guard (60).

摘要： A multilayer pressure sensitive correction tape useful for masking handwritten and/or printed characters comprising a release liner, a masking layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, wherein at least one of the layers is cured by radiation. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the masking layer and pressure sensitive adhesive layer comprise formulations of reactive monomers or oligomers which are radiation-cured after the formulations are applied to the correction tape assembly. In a more preferred embodiment of the invention the masking layer and pressure sensitive adhesive layer formulations contain no volatile solvents when these formulations are applied to the correction tape assembly. The radiation-cured layers are essentially insoluble in organic solvents and water, and the radiation-cured layers exhibit improved film toughness and improved resistance to ink "bleed through". Additionally, the present invention is directed to a process for making such a multilayer correction tape having at least one radiation cured layer.

摘要： The present invention relates to a utility lighter (10) including a housing (12) having a handle (14), a nozzle (18) with an outlet (64), and a fuel supply (22). An electric ignitor assembly (34) is connected to a first electrical pathway (P1) and a second electrical pathway (P2). The first electrical pathway includes a first gap (62) proximate the outlet. The second electrical pathway has operative and inoperative ocnfigurations. In the inoperative configuration, the resistance of the second electrical pathway is less than the resistance of the first electrical pathway such that electrical current generated by the electric ignitor assembly selectively travels in the second electrical pathway. In the operative configuration, the resistance of the second electrical pathway is greater than the resistance of the first electrical pathway such that the electrical current selectively travels in the first electrical pathway and jumps across the first gap to form a spark to ignite fuel from the fuel supply.

摘要： The present invention relates to a gripping device for a hand held article. The gripping device has an encasement assembly for fitting on a hand grip portion of the article. The encasement assembly contains a controllable fluid, such as magnetorheological and electrorheological fluids. The gripping device also has an activating assembly for selectively applying a field to the controllable fluid to change its Theological behavior, e.g., increasing its viscosity. Thus, the controllable fluid can maintain the shape of the encasement assembly until the activating assembly withdraws the applied field therefrom. The present invention further relates to a manual implement that has the above gripping device fitted thereon and a method for using a manual implement having the above gripping device.

摘要： A spark-generating device for a lighter that has a sparker (94) configured and adapted to produce sparks, preferably a cover (118) configured and adapted to substantially prevent operational contact of the sparker (94) by a finger of a user during actuation of the sparker (94), the device including at least one manipulable member (98) configured and adapted for manipulation and movement by a user and having at least two associations with the sparker. In a first association, the manipulable member (98) is independently movable with respect to the sparker (94), and in an operable association, the manipulable member (98) is coupled with the sparker (94) to move the sparker.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a lighter including a housing having a supply of fuel, an actuating member extending from the housing and being movable to selectively perform at least one step in igniting the fuel, and an inhibiting member extending from the housing. Moving the inhibiting member a predetermined distance resists, obstructs and/or prevents the actuating member from performing at least one step in igniting the fuel. For example, moving the inhibiting member the predetermined distance may resist and/or prevent movement of the actuating member, may obstruct and/or prevent the release of fuel, and/or may resist and/or prevent the creation of a spark to ignite the fuel. Various other features which improve the functioning of the lighter may be provided separately or in combination.
