Patent number: 6296475Abstract: A gas burner having synchronous ignition and gas supply functions includes a gas storing tank, a gas supply device, a housing, an ignition device, a retaining device, and a burning device. When a press button is pushed, the piezoelectric device is compressed so that a transverse rod is pushed by a push piece to cause a sliding piece and a driven piece to synchronously displace and a shaft spring to retract. The press button enters a wider portion of a lock-shaped hole via a narrower portion. A button spring stretches to cause the press button to be retained in the lock-shaped hole and extend from a piece hole. A gas nozzle is pulled out by a connecting groove for supply of fuel gas via the gas supply device to the burning device. Sparks generated by a lead wire ignites the fuel gas mixture.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Inventor: Chin-Lin Tsai

Patent number: 6293782Abstract: A safety device for gas burner includes a securing member, a press member, a slidable member, a retaining member and a button member. By manipulating the press member downwardly to reduce the height thereof, a connecting rod of the slidable member displaces as a result of loss of support from a lap piece, with an abutting rod contacting a stop ice. The connecting rod laps an upper portion of the lap piece so that the press member cannot rebound and is positioned. At this time, when the button member is pressed, an ignition means is simultaneously actuated, and the wall hook causes a gas supply means to supply fuel gas to a burner device. The fuel gas is ignited by means of the ignition means, and a wall rod abuts against a trigger rod. By pressing the retaining member, a fastening rod fastens the gas supply means in position to maintain supply of fuel gas. After use, the button member returns to its original position and is automatically retained by the press member.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2000Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Inventor: Chin-Lin Tsai

Patent number: 6065959Abstract: A handy gas torch includes a fuel container, a fuel gas control device, a piezoelectric device, a securing plate, a supporting frame, a burning, and a top cover. During operation, a knob of the fuel gas control device is turned so that fuel in the fuel container is drawn up by a suction tube of a gas supply device. The fuel gas passes through a tube neck of the fuel gas control device, a guide hole, a gas output tube to a fuel gas nozzle of the burning device and then fills a channel. By turning an adjusting knob to bring a knob hole into alignment with an air intake hole, air is induced into the channel to mix with the fuel gas. The fuel mixture is ejected by a fire nozzle of a fire ejecting device. Upon the user's pressing a press handle of the piezoelectric device to cause a boss on a press plate to press against a piezoelectric means, sparks are generated by a lead wire on one side of the fire nozzle to ignite the fuel mixture for burning purposes.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1999Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Inventor: Chin-Lin Tsai
