  • Patent number: 5885070
    Abstract: A gas control mechanism includes a housing having a chamber for receiving a lighter and having an upper wall and a mouth secured on top. The lighter has a gas nozzle and a pivot lever having one end coupled to the gas nozzle. A tube has one end extended through the upper wall and coupled to the mouth and has a gasket secured to the bottom for engaging with the gas nozzle. The gasket includes an orifice for receiving gas from the gas nozzle. A spring may bias the gasket to engage with the gas nozzle, and a trigger may actuate the lever to actuate the gas nozzle. The gas nozzle is forced to engage with the gasket and to make an air tight seal between the tube and the gas nozzle when the gas nozzle is actuated by the trigger via the lever.

  • Patent number: 5810579
    Abstract: A palm top hot air gas spray pistol including a base case for accommodating gas and an upper cover containing a gas guide and ignition mechanism. The upper cover includes a nozzle formed by a spray tube and an outer cover. Ignition is controlled by pressing a push-button. A hot air tube is fitted onto the outer cover. The hot air tube has a front end portion of a smaller diameter, which is provided with a ceramic block resembling a honey-comb. The ceramic block is mounted between a front end of the hot air tube and the spray tube. The intense heat of the flame of the pistol is used to generate hot air which is ejected through the hot air tube. The spray pistol has good portability and may also be used as a hot air pistol.
