An adjustment mechanism rotates with the valve adjustment member and after adjustment of the flame height, movable stop means are formed in the adjustment mechanism in positions chosen such that the movable stop means can abut the fixed stop means at positions of the adjustment mechanism corresponding to maximum and minimum flame height, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1976Date of Patent: June 27, 1978Assignee: S.T. DupontInventor: Edmond L. J. Faudemay

Patent number: 4043744Abstract: A camping stove having a housing for receiving an expendable gas container. The gas container is punctuated by a puncturing means at the upper inner end of the housing to connect the container with valve supporting the puncturing means. The valve means and the puncturing means are rotationally and stationarily mounted in the housing. The container is enclosed in the housing by a lid which supports a screw employed to press the container against the puncturing means without rotating the gas container.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1975Date of Patent: August 23, 1977Assignee: Aktiebolaget OptimusInventor: Karl Ernst Svensson

Patent number: 3938942Abstract: A pyrophoric gas lighter comprises a head that slips over the hollow valve stem of a replaceable can of inflammable fluid under pressure. The valve stem is of the type that slides axially to open and close the valve. The head carries a burner that communicates with the valve stem, and a striking wheel that strikes against a flint to ignite gas issuing from the burner. Pressure on the head in the direction of the container simultaneously strikes a spark and opens the valve by depressing the valve stem that carries the lighter head. In one embodiment, the pressure of the thumb on the wheel moves the head; while in another embodiment, the pressure on the head rotates the wheel through a ratchet mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1974Date of Patent: February 17, 1976Assignee: S.A.R.L.
