| 241 | Aroma-generating automobile cigarette lighter | US658778 | 1984-10-09 | US4574181A | 1986-03-04 | Donald Spector |
| An automobile cigarette lighter adapted to generate an aromatic vapor, the lighter being releasably retained within a dashboard socket having terminals therein connected to the battery of the vehicle. The lighter is constituted by a cylindrical shell having telescoped therein a spring-biased plunger. A disc-shaped heater element attached to the front end of the plunger is normally disposed at a position spaced from the socket terminals. A knob attached to the rear of the plunger projects beyond the rear end of the shell. When the knob is pressed in by a user, the plunger is advanced relative to the shell to cause the heater contact to engage the socket terminals and to be latched thereto by a bimetallic element, thereby activating the heater. When the heat generated thereby reaches a level causing the bimetallic element to bend, it releases the plunger which then returns to its normal inactive position. Formed in the plunger and the knob is a central duct extending from the heater element to an end opening in the knob. Receivable in the duct is a replaceable tubular cartridge having a heat-responsive, aroma-producing member therein which is activated by the heat to exude an aromatic vapor into the interior of the vehicle. | ||||||
| 242 | Electric cigar lighter with a snap disk forming a bimetallic switch | US469257 | 1983-02-24 | US4449036A | 1984-05-15 | Georg Seibel; Gunther Mues; Theodor Horn |
| An electric cigar lighter, such as used in a motor vehicle, has a bimetallic switch in the form of a snap disk positioned within a socket. When using commercial appliance plugs with such a snap disk, the diameter of the socket does not need to be enlarged compared to conventional sockets. Contact bounce and contact interruptions are prevented. These advantages are achieved by placing the contact disk and a contact part on an adjustment ring inserted with a sliding fit into a tubular member located within the socket. A control knob for the lighter fits into a plug sleeve within the socket. A spring spider on the control knob locks onto an annular bulge on the plug sleeve provides a pressure point for quickly switching the heating element to the on-position. | ||||||
| 243 | Quick-acting electric cigar lighter | US399764 | 1982-07-19 | USRE31452E | 1983-11-29 | Lawrence E. Fenn; Charles R. Sperry |
| A quick-acting electric cigar lighter employing a bimetallic disk constituting an electric switching member. The disk is secured in place by a mounting stud, utilizing a welding procedure. The welding does not adversely affect the functioning of the switch due to the provision of a central offset portion in the disk, which tends to relieve stresses on the weld, preventing any failure at that location. The lighter is activated by pushing the igniting unit inward to bring the heating element cup into physical contact with the bimetallic disk. Over-stressing of the bimetallic disk is prevented by mounting the same in a recessed insulating block which has lands that are engaged by the cup after a pre-determined amount of actuation of the plug has occurred. An effective, long-life contact between the cup and the disk is had by the use of special metals which co-act to minimize pitting, deterioration, etc., one metal comprising aluminum which cooperates with other metals such as copper or silver. .Iadd. | ||||||
| 244 | Ceramic heater-element to be used for cigarette-lighters | US122075 | 1980-02-15 | US4302659A | 1981-11-24 | Tamotsu Horiba; Shigeyuki Hikita |
| A ceramic heater-element to be incorporated into a plug to be pressed into a socket provided on a front inner car-body, thereby providing a cigarette-lighter, which comprises an annular shaped heater-portion having a radially extending gap thereby providing two opposing end-portions, and a pair of electrode-portions, each being extended substantially downwardly from each of the two end-portions while being in a parallel relationship with a center axis of the heater-portion, wherein respective cross-sectional dimensions through which the electric current flows are so arranged that the cross-sectional area of the heater-portion is relatively smaller than either of the cross-sectional areas of the electrode-portions. | ||||||
| 245 | High-production method and apparatus for making spiral convolution electrical heating coils | US919397 | 1978-06-26 | US4184350A | 1980-01-22 | Laurence G. Horwitt |
| A high production method and apparatus which utilizes ribbon-like resistance wire to produce spiral wound electrical heating coils as used in cigar lighters, ignitor plugs and the like. Nesting of adjoining convolutions, if desired, can be effected by first imparting a transverse, ribbed configuration to the ribbon prior to the winding of the same into the spiral coil. In accomplishing this transverse configuring, cooperable male and female rolls, turning in opposite directions, form the ribbon and simultaneously cut it into lengths at a high production rate. After an annealing process, the cut strips of ribbon are fed to a coiling machine which has a notched arbor that receives end portions of the strips and coils the latter into a spiral shape while restraint is imposed on the strips. The feeding, confining, winding and ejection procedures involving the strips are automatically, sequentially carried out at a high production rate. | ||||||
| 246 | Automatic electric cigar lighter | US841836 | 1977-10-13 | US4168422A | 1979-09-18 | Laurence G. Horwitt; Donald J. Mattis |
| An automatic electric cigar lighter, particularly a cigar lighter igniting unit for automobiles and the like. The cigar lighter comprises a holder device presenting an outwardly facing socket, and a unique ignitor plug receivable in the socket. Disposed at the inner end of the plug is a heating element which is electrically connected in circuit with a heat-responsive switch that is also carried by the plug. The socket in addition to its grounding circuit has a "hot" contact which is engageable with a cooperable contact on the plug to effect the circuit through the heating element. The plug comprises a manually operable part by which the heat-responsive switch can be closed, thereby to complete the heating circuit through the element. A bimetallic member is also carried by the plug, engageable with one of the switch parts and normally lying in a circuit-opening position wherein it maintains the switch parts separated and from which it can be shifted to a closed-circuit position. In both positions it can receive radiant heat from the heating element, and when in the closed-circuit position it can snap to the circuit-opening position to effect opening of the lighter circuit and de-energization of the heating element after useful incandescence has been reached. Central portions of the bimetallic member are free and not attached anywhere to any parts of the plug, but instead are merely disposed in close proximity to one of the switch parts, such that the member can quickly effect opening of the switch without need for mechanical securement of its central portions. This eliminates problems previously associated with the usual fastenings made to a bimetallic member, such as securing a contact to the member, etc. Improved reliability and operation, together with faster operation, are thus realized. | ||||||
| 247 | Formed heating ribbon and coil | US832834 | 1977-09-13 | US4130815A | 1978-12-19 | Laurence G. Horwitt; Donald J. Mattis; Harry Greenberger |
| An electric igniting element as used in automobile cigar lighters, jet engine igniters and like devices, comprising a spirally wound tight coil made of metal heater ribbon which is transversely formed to have a cross-sectional configuration roughly similar to a wide-spread letter "V" but with a flattened bottom portion and two beaded edge surfaces along one side, which greatly facilitate the coil winding process, effect a greater uniformity, extend the range of coil stock that can be handled while at the same time resulting in a nesting and interlocking of the convolutions that not only provide a mutual support of the same but also produce a small coil having a high metal density. | ||||||
| 248 | Cigar lighter igniting unit | US49829474 | 1974-08-19 | US3892944A | 1975-07-01 | HORWITT LAURENCE G; MATTIS DONALD J |
| Our invention comprises a ''''pop-out'''' igniting unit adapted for use with the socket or receptacle portion of an electric cigar lighter of the type mounted in automobile instrument panels. Our unit has the usual knob at the outer end and a convolutely-wound electric heating coil at the inner end with a spacer tube therebetween. The heating coil is surrounded and enclosed on the side adjacent the spacer tube by a conductive cup. The cup has inwardly projecting lanced shoulder portions, circumferentiallyspaced to support the coil in a manner to provide coil ventilation. The spacer tube is mounted within a cylindrical friction sleeve which also serves as a guide member. The spacer tube is held in retracted relation within the sleeve by an internally mounted coil spring. The sleeve is telescoped within a cylindrical ashguard which moves axially to enclose the heating element when the igniting unit is removed from the receptacle. The spacer tube has an annular partition adjacent the heating coil cup which is provided with closely spaced peripheral indentations in which corresponding projections on the cup are adapted to be engaged, with a deformable layer of insulating material therebetween, such engagement occurring without manual assistance during assembly.

| 250 | Electric cigar lighter with thermostatic bimetallic current control | US3760150D | 1972-06-09 | US3760150A | 1973-09-18 | FENN L; SPERRY C |
| An instant cigar lighter comprising a holder adapted for mounting on an automobile dashboard, an elongate igniter plug receivable in the holder and having a spiral heating coil disposed at its inner end, a metal cup surrounding the heating coil and at one end connected thereto, and means for establishing an electrical circuit through the cup and heater coil to enable energization of the latter. The lighter is intended for use with a source of power having a higher voltage than the voltage rating of the coil, and has special heat responsive means comprising a bimetal disk engageable with the rim of the cup and closely juxtaposed to the heating coil for substantially instantly opening the circuit in response to heating of the coil to a useful predetermined temperature. The bimetal disk and the metal cup can cooperate to constitute a tightly closed enclosure closely surrounding the heating coil, the disk comprising one large wall of the enclosure whereby heat from the coil is immediately experienced by the disk to effect a very rapid response of the latter. The voltage rating of the heating coil can be one-half of the output voltage from the power source such that the coil becomes heated at a greatly increased rate and reaches a useful temperature in a period of less than several seconds, after which its circuit is opened to prevent burn-out.
