Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
  • 1. Field of Invention [0001]
  • The present invention relates to a lighter nozzle system for a lighter, and more particularly to a lighter nozzle system for producing a stylish torch via a single fuel supplying source so as to enhance the aesthetic visible effect of the lighter when ignition. [0002]
  • 2. Description of Related Arts [0003]
  • A lighter is a common tool that replaces matches for igniting cigarettes and cigars. Generally, there are two types of lighter, namely the regular lighter that produces flat flame and the torch lighter that produces torch. [0004]
  • There are various types of regular lighter, including the disposable lighter incorporated with a flint type ignition system and the piezoelectric lighter incorporated with a piezoelectric type ignition system. Such regular lighter is capable of generating a flat flame which is merely a single tongue of flame. Due to the soft and weak nature of the flat flame, most of such flat flame lighters are good at igniting cigarettes but find difficulty when igniting a cigar. [0005]
  • Since the cigar has a bigger diameter and the cigar tobacco is dryer and harder the torch lighter that can produce a stronger and hotter torch is generally used to ignite the cigars. As shown in FIG. 1, the torch nozzle system for such torch lighter comprises a nozzle body having a fuel inlet communicatively connected to a liquefied fuel storage and an emitting opening, and torch head, which is provided at the emitting opening of the nozzle body, having an elongated nozzle duct arranged in such a manner that when the ignition unit produces sparks towards the torch head, the fuel released from the emitting opening to outside through the nozzle duct is ignited to form a strong and stable torch. Although such torch is stronger and hotter than the flat flame, its ignition area is relatively small and limited. [0006]
  • In order to increase the ignition area of the torch lighter, how to produce two or more torches simultaneously will be an effective solution. Since it is too costly and not practical to provide two or more torch nozzles in the limited interior space of the housing of the torch lighter, it is not available in market. [0007]
  • In addition, the torch nozzle system for such torch lighter can only produce the long and tall soaring torch. No such torch lighter in market is capable of producing a stylish torch to enhance the aesthetic visible effect for the torch lighter when ignition. [0008]
  • SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
  • A main object of the present invention is to provide a lighter nozzle system for producing a stylish torch via a single fuel supplying source so as to enhance the aesthetic visible effect of the lighter when ignition. [0009]
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a lighter nozzle system for producing a stylish torch, wherein the lighter nozzle system comprises a nozzle head disposed in the emitting opening of the nozzle body to diverge the fuel releasing therefrom so as to virtually produce the stylish torch. Therefore, by varying the shape of the nozzle head, different styles of the stylish torch can be produced. [0010]
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a lighter nozzle system for producing a stylish torch, wherein the lighter nozzle system is capable of being installed into any kind of torch lighter to produce the stylish torch without altering the original structural design of the torch lighter so as to minimize the manufacturing cost of the torch lighter incorporating with the lighter nozzle system of the present invention. [0011]
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a lighter nozzle system for producing a stylish torch, wherein the stylish torch produced by the lighter nozzle system have the same heat intensity in comparison with a torch produced by the conventional nozzle system. In other words, the structural configuration of the lighter nozzle system will not weaken the intensity of the torch. [0012]
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a lighter nozzle system for producing a stylish torch, wherein since the releasing fuel is diverged at the nozzle head, the stylish torch can substantially increase its ignition area thereof. In other words, the stylish torch is more useful than the conventional torch especially good at igniting cigars. [0013]
  • Accordingly, in order to accomplish the above objects, the present invention provides a lighter nozzle system for a lighter having a liquefied fuel storage, comprising: [0014]
  • a diffusion body having a receiving opening adapted for communicating with the liquefied fuel storage, an emitting opening, at least an air inlet provided thereon, wherein the air inlet is positioned adjacent to the receiving opening to define an elongated mixing chamber axially extended between the air inlet to the emitting opening, wherein a flow of air is capable of inletting into the mixing chamber through the air inlet to mix with a fuel releasing through the receiving opening to form a mixture gas at the emitting opening of the diffusion body; and [0015]
  • a nozzle assembly comprising a nozzle head provided at the emitting opening of the diffusion body and a torch diversion arrangement provided at the nozzle head for radially diverging the mixture gas to produce a stylish torch when the mixture gas is ejected and ignited at the nozzle head.
