  • Patent number: 10948186
    Abstract: A lighter (1) has a container (16) of gas, a first gas circuit (26) intended to produce a first type of flame (2) and a second gas circuit (24) intended to produce a second type of flame (3). The lighter (1) further has a driver (6) associated with a mechanism (14, 15) for producing sparks, activation in rotation of said driver (6) generating sparks. The driver (6) is mounted in the lighter (1) to be mobile in translation between a nominal first position in which it holds the first circuit (26) open in order to allow the gas from the container (26) to pass through the first circuit (26) and thus to obtain the first type of flame (2). A second position is provided in which it blocks the first circuit (26) in order to allow the gas from the container (16) to pass through the second circuit (24) and thus to obtain the second type of flame (3).

  • Patent number: 9902191
    Abstract: A fountain pen comprising: an elongate hollow body defining an inner chamber designed to receive an ink container; a nib disposed at a first end of the hollow body; and a connection part connecting the inner chamber to the nib and defining an ink flow passage extending along a longitudinal axis (XX), the connection part comprising a valve opening and closing the ink flow passage, designed to selectively open and close the ink flow passage. The connection part comprises a striker interposed between the valve and the inner chamber and designed to engage with the ink container and allow a flow of ink between the ink reservoir and the nib.
