Gas lighter with safety device

摘要

This invention relates to the field of energy and is directed to a gas child-proof lighter, i.e. the lighter in which means for sparking neutralization are combined with a gas ignition mechanism. The gas lighter comprises a gas ignition device including a corrugated wheel secured on a shaft rotatably and movably mounted in profiled openings of body brackets, as well as a flint spring pressed toward the corrugated wheel. The cylindrical shaft of the corrugated wheel is mounted in said opening so as to move along a direction which is transverse relative to a direction of action of the flint spring, and in a direction coinciding with the direction of action of the flint spring. The opening is a convex polygon with a right angle between adjacent walls. The ends of the wall of corrugated wheel are provided with spigots having a polygonal surface. In a first position of the shaft in the slot, its rotation axis extends through a line coinciding with the direction of action of the flint spring, while in a second position of the shaft in said slot from the side opposite the burner valve location, the rotation axis of the shaft of the corrugated wheel is biased with respect to said line, whereby the shaft spigot is positioned in the slot engaging the slot wall and preventing the lighter form the possibility of igniting the gas.
