  • Patent number: 8840398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas lighter with a roller-rotation restraining part, extending toward a roller from one side of a top surface of a cap for surrounding a nozzle of the gas lighter so that the roller-rotation restraining part is caught by and brought in contact with the roller. Thus, a certain rotation-restraining force is added to the rotation of the roller by means of the roller-rotation restraining part which is caught by and brought in contact with the roller during the rotation of the roller for ignition to increase a finger grasp force required for the ignition of the gas lighter through the rotation of the roller, thereby being capable of preventing an accident, should the lighter get into the hands of a child.

  • Publication number: 20040180305
    Abstract: A gas furnace responsive to a thermostat includes a thermal switch wired in series between the furnace power supply and the thermostat. A microprocessor connected to the thermal switch detects when the switch opens and closes, carrying out prearranged programs in response thereto. The thermal switch is mounted so that it opens when an over-pressure in the furnace draft system is detected, as evidenced by hot flue gasses passing over the thermal switch probe. The switch is allowed to cycle at least one time before the furnace is disabled. After a certain period of the time, the combustion cycle is reinitiated and the above steps are repeated if the thermal switch again resets.
