Abstract: 9887. Danicek, V., Cernovsky, K., Hoffmann, A., and Kloth, G. April 24. Pocket igniters, frictional.-In telescopic pyrophoric lighters, a ridge, groove, corrugation, or the like, 4, is formed on the part of the casing carrying the cover, to afford a hold for the fingers and thus enable the lighter to be manipulated by one hand, the thumb pressing against the fuel-reservoir 5 ; also various details of construction are improved. The friction wheel 14 is formed at both sides with crown teeth as shown in Figs. 1 and 6 for side pawls or with a single recess as shown in Figs. 9 and 10 for a dog on the disk 40. In the form of lighter shown in Fig. 1, the reservoir 5 carries the wick-tube 8 which is guided through an eye 9 on the casing 1, and this eye carries the packing 11 for the usual extinguisher 12. A link 7 connected at one end to a bracket 6 on the reservoir is attached at the other to the cover, to open this when the parts are collapsed, at the same time spring pawls 13, attached to the reservoir, rotate the friction wheel 14. The pyrophoric material is contained in a box 17 pressed towards the friction wheel by a spring yoke 18. In the form shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the friction wheel has a single recess into which takes a projection on the disk 40 mounted free to rotate on the spindle of the friction wheel. The disk has a slotted extension 43, the slot of which rides on a pin 44, so that as the parts are collapsed, the disk is rotated. The box 17 for the pyrophoric material is carried by a spring frame 45 which can be raised by a finger hole 58 to change the material. The wick is extinguished by a conical plug 54, which fits into a rubber socket when the parts are closed. The cover-opening link 52 is bent to form a right-angle. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the friction wheel is carried by the reservoir. In this case, it is rotated by fixed pawls carried by the casing 1. The pyrophoric material is contained in an inclined casing 23 containing an adjustable spring.
