Utility Lighter Platform

View page
US Patent:
6406291, Jun 18, 2002
Filed:
Jan 23, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/767153
Inventors:
Daniel Ferrara - Bantam CT
Brian Tubby - Milford CT
Paul Adams - Monroe CT
Assignee:
BIC Corporation - Milford CT
International Classification:
F23D 1446
US Classification:
431345, 431344, 431255, 431266, 431143
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a utility lighter platform which includes a lighting mechanism configured to selectively ignite fuel supplied from a fuel supply container, and a frame configured to operatively house the lighting mechanism and configured to receive an outer shell thereon. The frame includes a fuel supply container housing structure configured to hold a fuel supply container at a first end of the frame and an insulating cap holding structure configured to receive an insulating cap at a second end of the frame and configured to house a nozzle operatively connected to the fuel supply. The frame also includes an ignitor assembly holding structure configured to house an ignitor assembly, and a trigger holding structure configured to operatively hold a trigger stem with which to activate the ignitor assembly and to release fuel from the fuel supply in order to ignite fuel received at the nozzle.

Appl. No.:
29/139133

Jean Francois Chevalier - Paris, FR

US Patent:
6488492, Dec 3, 2002
Filed:
Mar 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/819021
Inventors:
Paul Adams - Monroe CT
Floyd Fairbanks - Naugatuck CT
Anthony Sgroi, Jr. - Wallingford CT
Brian Tubby - Milford CT
Assignee:
Bic Corporation - Milford CT
International Classification:
F23D 1136
US Classification:
431153, 431255, 431344, 431345
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lighter which a user actuates by at least two different modes of operation. In the first mode, a plunger member is positioned to allow a biasing member to oppose movement of an actuating assembly so that a user releases fuel and ignites the lighter only if a high-actuation-force is applied to the actuator. In this first mode, the lighter resists operation by unintended users by requiring a user to have a predetermined level of strength to actuate the lighter. In the second mode, the plunger member is moved to a different position so that the biasing member does not oppose movement of the actuating assembly to the same extent as the first mode so that a user may release fuel and ignite the lighter if a low-actuation-force is applied to the actuator. Moving the plunger member from the first position to the second position preferably requires the user to have a predetermined level of cognitive abilities and/or physical characteristics in order to resist use by unintended users. The lighter further includes a pivotal wand assembly.

US Patent:
6527546, Mar 4, 2003
Filed:
May 17, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/312609
Inventors:
Guy Laforest - Cascais, PT
Paul Adams - Monroe CT
Brian Tubby - Milford CT
Richard M. Orazietti - Derby CT
Floyd B. Fairbanks - Naugatuck CT
Assignee:
BIC Corporation - Milford CT
International Classification:
F23Q 228
US Classification:
431255, 431153
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lighter including a housing having a handle at one end and a nozzle at another end and including a fuel supply connected for selective fluid communication with the nozzle. A release member is cooperatively connected to the housing to initiate the flow of fuel from the fuel supply to the nozzle. An ignitor, such as a piezoelectric mechanism, is provided for generating a spark proximate the nozzle. A trigger spaced from the release member is operatively connected to the housing for actuating the ignitor for the generation of a spark igniting the fuel present at the nozzle.
