Abstract:
A portable gas torch has a metal burner tube defining a gas flow passage through which gas is adapted to flow. An igniter in the gas flow passage generates a spark to ignite gas flowing through the passage. The torch has a wire holder for positioning the igniter wire in the gas flow passage and a flame holder downstream from the wire holder. The wire holder comprises a central hub having an axial bore and at least one spacer on the hub for contacting an inside wall of the burner tube to position the hub at a predetermined radial location in the gas flow passage. The axial bore is sized to enable the wire to be held at a selected location downstream from the hub. The wire holder comprises a dielectric material to allow a spark to jump to the inside wall of the burner tube.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Zündfunktion einer Hochspannungszündung eines Heizungsbrenners für Öl- oder Gasfeuerungen, bei welchen die Zündung nach einer Wärmeanforderung an die Öl- oder Gasfeuerung eingeschaltet und die Leistungs- und/oder Stromaufnahme bzw. -abgabe der Hochspannungszündung während einer Vorzündzeit tv vor Beginn der Brennstoffzufuhr gemessen wird. Zur Vermeidung einer frühzeitigen Freigabe des Brennstoffes wird erfolgt erfindungsgemäß eine zeitlich variable Freigabe der Brennstoffzufuhr zum Heizungsbrenner in Abhängigkeit vom Zeitpunkt des Erreichens bzw. Überschreitens eines vorgebbaren Schwellwertes der gemessenen Leistungs- und/oder Stromaufnahme bzw. -abgabe.
Abstract:
An electronic gas lighter having a lock device includes a fuel container (13) and a piezoelectric portion (15) located on both sides of the fuel container, a fuel emission portion (16) in which the piezoelectric portion (I5) includes a button (8) and a piezoelectric block (11). The fuel emission portion (16) includes an actuating lever (2) and a fuel valve (3). There is a slot (9) on the button (8) and on one end of which there is a arc through slot (92). The swing button (7) is fixed in the slap (9). The swing button (7) has a long arm which can turn around the through slot (92). The piezoelectric block (11) has a bulger (111). When the swing button (7) is in the secure position, the long arm (72) is located on the bulger (111), so the swing button can not move downward. The invention adds a swing button to the button (8), and the two parts cooperate with each other. If the swing button does not be pushed down, the piezoelectric block can not produce sparks, and at the same time the emission portion can not release the flammability gases to prevent the leak and from producing sparks by pushing button. All of these increase the security of the lighter and prevent mistake handle.
Abstract:
An igniter for use in industrial and domestic gas burning appliances is disclosed. One embodiment of the igniter includes an igniter element disposed on the longitudinal axis of a tubular shield. The shield includes at least one open slot formed therethrough for providing a passageway through which gas and air can flow, thereby forming one or more open spiral patterns in the tubular shield. Another embodiment of the igniter includes an igniter element disposed on the longitudinal axis of a spiral coil. Still another embodiment of the igniter includes an igniter element disposed on the lontigudinal axis of a ceramic, cylindrical sleeve. The sleeve includes at least one hole formed therethrough for optimally exposing the igniter element to a gas flow. The tubular shield, the spiral coil, and the ceramic sleeve protect the igniter element from accidental damage or breakage, and allow an optimal flow of gas and air to the igniter element, thereby facilitating subsequent ignition of the gas.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a sequence of high-voltage ignition sparks. According to said method, an ignition energy accumulator (2) is charged until it reaches a predetermined charge state (Ip, ZUND), an ignition spark is produced by discharging said ignition energy accumulator (2) on an ignition spark producing means (6) which is connected to the ignition energy accumulator (2), a process of recharging the ignition energy accumulator (2) is started before the ignition energy accumulator is fully discharged, and another ignition spark is produced on the ignition spark producing means (6) by discharging the ignition energy accumulator (2).
Abstract:
A piezoelectric ignition firing bar, comprising a gas tank (10) having a tank main body (11) and an upper cover (13) installed inside a main body case (2), a valve mechanism (20) and a piezoelectric mechanism (40) held on the upper cover (13), an injection nozzle installed at the tip of the main body case (2), and an operation button (3A) attached to the tip of the piezoelectric mechanism (40), wherein the operation button (3A) is formed of a polyacetal resin, leaf springs (4A, 4A) are formed integrally with each other and, when the firing bar is not in operation, a space of approx. 60 to 90% of an operation stroke is formed between the operation button and the upper end surface (13a) of the upper cover (13) and, at the beginning of the operation, the operating load is kept at a normal operating level and, after the leaf springs (4A, 4A) abut on the upper end surface (13a) of the upper cover (13), the operating load is increased by the application of the elastic load of the leaf springs (4A, 4A) to the operation button, whereby the operating load can be increased immediately before discharge without unnecessarily increasing the operating load at the beginning of the operation and a person who does not know how to properly use the firing bar cannot ignite carelessly, and an excellent controllability for normal users can be maintained.

Abstract:
A connecting board carrying an electric circuit and extending the full length of the cup-shaped body is positioned substantially closing the mouth, inside an inner casing cavity, and carries, on a first face all the electronic pulse generating means connected mechanically and electrically to one another and to the board by the board itself and the circuit, so as to be housed in one continuous compartment defined by the cavity and by the connecting board, so as to be embedded, together with the connecting board, in a matrix of insulating polymer resin which fills the whole of the cavity up to a point substantially flush with the mouth of the cavity.
Abstract:
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.
