Abstract

The holding device consists of a housing having a means of attachment and suspension. The housing contains an extension device formed by a reel and return spring for a tension cord attached to the reel. The cord passes through an opening in the housing and is used for attaching the lighter. A catch shaft for the lighter surrounds the opening in the housing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein mit einer tragbaren Haltevorrichtung über eine Zugleine verbundenes Feuerzeug, welche Haltevorrichtung ein Gehäuse aufweist, das eine durch Haspelrolle und Rückholfeder gebildete Auszugeinrichtung für die Zugleine enthält und mit einem Aufhängeorgan sowie mit einem Feuerzeug-Fangschacht versehen ist, der eine Gehäuseöffnung für die Zugleine umgibt.The invention relates to a lighter connected to a portable holding device via a pull cord, which holding device has a housing which contains a pull-out device for the pull cord formed by a reel roller and return spring and is provided with a suspension element and with a lighter catch shaft which has a housing opening for the Tether surrounds.

Bei einer bekannten Anordnung dieser Gattung (US-A-4486169) ist der Fangschacht für das Feuerzeug auf einen Gehäuseteil, der die Auszugeinrichtung enthält, aufgesetzt und nach oben zur Aufnahme des Feuerzeugs offen. Das Aufhängeorgan ist oben am Fangschacht in der Nähe von dessen Aufnahmeöffnung befestigt. Die Zugleine ist mit der Basis des Feuerzeugkörpers verbunden. Dabei wird das Feuerzeug im Fangschacht praktisch vollständig aufgenommen, wobei der Kopfbereich des Feuerzeugs mit Zündmechanismus und Gasdüse sich im Bereich der Schachtöffnung befindet und freiliegt. Eine solche bekannte Anordnung bietet zwar eine geordnete Ablage des Feuerzeugs bei Nichtgebrauch, weist aber verschiedene Nachteile auf: Wenn das im Fangschacht abgelegte Feuerzeug zum Gebrauch hervorgeholt werden soll, kann es nur am Kopfbereich erfasst werden, der aber normalerweise verschmutzt (russig) oder gar noch heiss ist; anschliessend muss ein Griffwechsel erfolgen, damit der Zündmechanismus betätigt werden kann. Da bei abgelegtem Feuerzeug dessen Kopfbereich ungeschützt und der Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt ist, kann es zu Funktionsstörungen kommen, oder je nachdem, wo die Haltevorrichtung mit Hilfe des Aufhängeorgans angebracht ist (Handtasche, Knopfloch, Gurtschlaufe, Handgelenk usw.), kann die Umgebung durch Verbrennungs- und Zündstein-Rückstände verschmutzt werden. Schliesslich bildet auch der Fangschacht einen ungewollten "Sammelbehälter" für Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit.In a known arrangement of this type (US-A-4486169) the catch shaft for the lighter is placed on a housing part which contains the pull-out device and is open at the top for receiving the lighter. The suspension element is attached to the top of the collecting shaft near its opening. The pull cord is connected to the base of the lighter body. The lighter is practically completely accommodated in the collecting shaft, the head region of the lighter with the ignition mechanism and gas nozzle being located in the region of the shaft opening and being exposed. Such a known arrangement offers an orderly storage of the lighter when not in use, but has several disadvantages: If the lighter stored in the collecting shaft is to be taken out for use, it can only be detected at the head area, but it is normally dirty (sooty) or even is hot; then a The handles are changed so that the ignition mechanism can be operated. Since the head area of the lighter is unprotected and exposed to moisture, malfunctions can occur or, depending on where the holding device is attached with the aid of the hanging organ (handbag, buttonhole, belt loop, wrist, etc.), the surroundings can be burned. and flint residues are contaminated. Finally, the collecting shaft also forms an unwanted "collecting container" for dirt and moisture.

Mit der Erfindung soll eine tragbare Feuerzeug-Haltevorrichtung vorgeschlagen werden, welche die vorgenannten Nachteile vermeidet und deren Handhabung wesentlich erleichtert ist. Ausgehend von einer eingangs angegebenen Anordnung wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass der Fangschacht dem Aufhängeorgan gegenüberliegend am Gehäuse angeformt und zur hängenden Aufnahme des Kopfbereichs des in diesem Bereich mit der Zugleine verbundenen Feuerzeugs bestimmt ist.The invention is intended to propose a portable lighter holding device which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages and which is considerably easier to handle. Starting from an arrangement specified at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the collecting shaft is formed on the housing opposite the suspension element and is intended for hanging acceptance of the head region of the lighter connected to the pull cord in this region.

Auf diese Weise ist das Feuerzeug dauernd griffbereit und wird auf Anhieb richtig am Körper unterhalb des Kopfbereiches erfasst. Der Kopfbereich des abgelegten Feuerzeugs ist dagegen im Fangschacht vor Feuchtigkeit geschützt und gibt keinen Anlass zu Verschmutzung, anderseits bleibt auch der nach unten offene Fangschacht frei. Schliesslich eignet sich die Anordnung vorzüglich als Werbeartikel, wobei sowohl das Gehäuse als auch der freiliegende Körper des Feuerzeugs als Werbeträger dienen.In this way, the lighter is always at hand and is immediately grasped correctly on the body below the head area. The head area of the stored lighter, on the other hand, is protected from moisture in the collecting shaft and does not give rise to contamination, on the other hand, the collecting shaft, which is open at the bottom, remains free. Finally, the arrangement is particularly suitable as a promotional item, with both the housing and the exposed body of the lighter serving as advertising media.

Die Haltevorrichtung für das Feuerzeug 1 gemäss den Fig. 1, 2 und 4 weist ein dosenförmiges Gehäuse 10 auf, an dessen Rand ein Aufhängeorgan 11 angebracht ist. Dieses besteht hier aus einem U-förmigen Bügel, dessen einer Schenkel mit dem Gehäuse 10 fest verbunden ist und dessen anderer Schenkel mittels einem Widerhaken 12 an einem entsprechenden Fanghaken des Gehäuses sicher verankert werden kann; die offene Lage des Bügels 11 ist mit strichpunktierten Linien angedeutet. Dem Aufhängeorgan 11 gegenüberliegend ist am Gehäuse 10 bzw. an dessen Rand ein Fangschacht 13 angeformt, welcher den Kopfbereich 2 des Feuerzeugs mit dem Zündmechanismus und der Gasdüse aufnimmt. Wie aus Fig. 4 hervorgeht, sind Gehäuse 10 und Fangschacht 13 entlang einer Trennebene 6 (Fig. 2) in zwei Hälften 10a, 13a bzw. 10b, 13b geteilt. Die gegenseitige Drehlage zwischen beiden Hälften wird z.B. mittels Stiften 14, die in Bohrungen 15 eingreifen, gesichert. Bei der Montage können die beiden Gehäusehälften miteinander verklebt oder durch Eingriff der beiden Dosenränder ineinander (Schnappverbindung) miteinander verbunden werden.The holding device for the lighter 1 according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 has a can-shaped housing 10, on the edge of which a hanging member 11 is attached. This consists of a U-shaped bracket, one leg of which is firmly connected to the housing 10 and the other leg by means of a Barb 12 can be securely anchored to a corresponding catch hook of the housing; the open position of the bracket 11 is indicated by dash-dotted lines. Opposite the suspension element 11, a catch shaft 13 is formed on the housing 10 or on the edge thereof, which receives the head region 2 of the lighter with the ignition mechanism and the gas nozzle. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the housing 10 and the collecting shaft 13 are divided into two halves 10a, 13a and 10b, 13b along a parting plane 6 (FIG. 2). The mutual rotational position between the two halves is secured, for example, by means of pins 14 which engage in bores 15. During assembly, the two housing halves can be glued to one another or connected to one another by engaging the two box edges (snap connection).

Im Innern des Gehäuses 10 befindet sich eine Auszugeinrichtung für eine Zugleine 20, welche durch eine Gehäuseöffnung 16 geführt ist, welche Oeffnung vom Fangschacht 13 umgeben ist. Der Aufbau der Auszugeinrichtung geht aus der Fig. 4 hervor: Die Einrichtung ist durch eine Haspelrolle 18 und eine Rückholfeder 19 in Form einer Spiralfeder gebildet. Das innere Ende der Feder 19 greift in einen Schlitz eines Mittelzapfens 17 am Gehäuse, während das äussere Ende mit der Haspelrolle 18 verbunden ist. An der Haspelrolle 18 ist ferner das eine Ende der Zugleine 20 befestigt, welche auf der Haspelrolle aufgewickelt ist, solange das Feuerzeug 1 unbenutzt bleibt und mit dem Kopfbereich 2 im Fangschacht 13 ruht. An dem ausserhalb des Gehäuses 10 befindlichen Ende der Zugleine 20 ist das Feuerzeug 1 angebunden, und zwar vorzugsweise über einen Bügel 3, welcher am Gehäuse des Feuerzeugs 1 so angelenkt ist, dass er über den Kopfbereich 2 oder auch zur Seite geschwenkt werden kann.In the interior of the housing 10 there is a pull-out device for a pull line 20, which is guided through a housing opening 16, which opening is surrounded by the collecting shaft 13. The structure of the pull-out device is shown in FIG. 4: The device is formed by a reel roller 18 and a return spring 19 in the form of a spiral spring. The inner end of the spring 19 engages in a slot of a central pin 17 on the housing, while the outer end is connected to the reel roller 18. On the reel roller 18, one end of the pull cord 20 is also fastened, which is wound on the reel roller as long as the lighter 1 remains unused and rests with the head region 2 in the collecting shaft 13. The lighter 1 is connected to the end of the pull line 20 located outside the housing 10, preferably via a bracket 3 which is articulated on the housing of the lighter 1 such that it can be pivoted over the head region 2 or to the side.

Zum Gebrauch wird das Feuerzeug 1 ergriffen und von der z.B. an einem Kleidungsstück oder einem Handtaschenbügel usw. aufgehängten Vorrichtung weggezogen. Dabei gleitet die Zugleine 20 durch die Gehäuseöffnung 16 und wickelt sich von der Haspelrolle 18 ab, wobei die Spiralfeder 19 gespannt wird. Wird das Feuerzeug 1 gemäss Fig. 3 in üblicher Weise gefasst, so wird der Schwenkbügel 3 durch die Zugleine 20 zur Seite gezogen und das Feuerzeug kann normal bedient werden. Wird das Feuerzeug hernach freigelassen, so wird sogleich die Zugleine 20 durch Aufwickeln auf die Haspelrolle 18 durch die gespannte Rückholfeder 19 eingeholt, wodurch das Feuerzeug selbsttätig mit dem Kopfteil 2 wieder in den Fangschacht 13 gelangt. Die Rückholfeder 19 soll in dieser Ruhelage ausreichende Vorspannung aufweisen, um das Feuerzeug 1 entgegen seinem Gewicht am Gehäuse 10 zu halten.For use, the lighter 1 is gripped and pulled away from the device, which is hung on, for example, a piece of clothing or a handbag hanger, etc. The pull cord 20 slides through the housing opening 16 and unwinds from the reel roller 18, the coil spring 19 being tensioned. If the lighter 1 3 in the usual way, the swivel bracket 3 is pulled to the side by the pull cord 20 and the lighter can be operated normally. If the lighter is released afterwards, the pull cord 20 is immediately pulled up by winding it onto the reel roller 18 by means of the tensioned return spring 19, whereby the lighter automatically returns to the catch shaft 13 with the head part 2. The return spring 19 should have sufficient bias in this rest position to hold the lighter 1 against its weight on the housing 10.

Die Form des Fangschachtes 13 kann natürlich je nach Erfordernis der Gestalt des Feuerzeugs angepasst werden; der Schacht kann auch tiefer gemacht werden, um einen grösseren Teil des Feuerzeugs aufzunehmen. Ferner ist es denkbar, die Zugleine 20 am Feuerzeug direkt zu befestigen anstatt über einen schwenkbaren Bügel 3.The shape of the collecting shaft 13 can of course be adapted to the shape of the lighter as required; the shaft can also be made deeper to accommodate a larger part of the lighter. Furthermore, it is conceivable to attach the pull cord 20 directly to the lighter instead of using a pivotable bracket 3.

Vor allem kann auch das Aufhängeorgan am Gehäuse 10 anders ausgebildet sein als nach Fig. 1, 2 und 4. So zeigt die Fig. 5 als Variante eine am Gehäuse 10 federnd angelenkte Klemme 21, Fig. 6 eine am Gehäuse befestigte Sicherheitsnadel 22, und gemäss Fig. 7 ist ein federnder Clip 23 am Gehäuse 10 angeformt.Above all, the suspension element on the housing 10 can also be designed differently than according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4. Thus, as a variant, FIG. 5 shows a clamp 21 which is resiliently articulated on the housing 10, FIG. 6 shows a safety pin 22 attached to the housing, and 7, a resilient clip 23 is formed on the housing 10.
