Fireplaces are installed in apartments with a large area, but most often they are used in private estates. In order to set it on fire and not get injured, it is best to use a fireplace lighter.

Benefits of using

Fireplace electric lighters

Safe operation of the fireplace requires the use of special devices for ignition of the flame. Fireplace matches have been used for a long time, however, rare items have been replaced by fireplace lighters.

Their operation is much safer than the usual way of making fire.

Benefits of using devices:

• comfort;
• functionality;
• wide range of uses.

Varieties of models

Fireplace lighter is of two types:

• gas;
• electric.

Models gas appliances for ignition are made of an aluminum case, inside of which there is compressed gas. Ignition occurs with the help of electricity.

All you need to do is press the power button. Such devices can be used not only for a fireplace, but also on a hike, in the country.

Electrical appliances are flameless. Work happens from the accumulator. They are either wireless or connected to a power source.

You need to turn it on directly in the furnace. Then a fire occurs. The required voltage for the device is 220 volts.

Applications

All devices for ignition are made on the basis of the basic safety requirements for structures.

Therefore, the devices are made of material that is resistant to high temperatures. Also needed long handle so as not to burn your hands.

Also, manufacturers create various designs and shapes of devices. Many of them can be filled several times.

The main advantage of a fireplace lighter is the comfort of its use.

Made of aluminum alloy, the devices will last a long time. Main areas of application:

• Lighting a fire in a fireplace. The safety and simplicity of the accessory allows it to be used even by teenagers. Convenient length and buttons allow you to keep your hands away from the flame at a great distance.
• BBQ, hiking, picnics. The advantage is that weather conditions cannot affect the fire.

Main manufacturers

A large number of manufacturers and stores offer to purchase fireplace lighters at affordable price from 150 rubles and more.

• The Mig company presents to the attention of buyers a gas lighter with a ceramic piezoelectric element. The main advantages of the model are flame adjustment, safety lock from children. It is also easy to fill it with a regular lighter can. Length 18 cm. Available in several colors.

”, characterized by small size, ease of use and reliability.

Gas lighters were invented later than gas lighters and were joyfully received by smokers, as they did not give off a pungent gasoline smell and could even be used to light cigars.

Ignition device

Several principles are used:

• spontaneous combustion of pyrophoric alloys (ferrocerium) during abrasion;
• ignition by a hot object (for example, a wire heated by an electric current);
• ignition by an electric spark arising from the rapid closing and opening of an electrical contact or during a breakdown air gap high voltage- the latter can be generated using a piezoelectric element (in lighters without a power supply) or a transformer (in lighters connected to the mains or having batteries - for example, some kitchen ones);
• catalytic ignition of vapors of organic substances.

Fuel

In gas lighters, liquefied propane or liquefied butane is used as fuel, which, after passing through the reducer, evaporates, forming a highly flammable mixture of gas and air.

Petrol vapors burn in petrol lighters.

combustion temperature

Depending on the type of fuel, the flame temperature of the lighter can reach the following values:

1. propane-butane - from 800 to 1970 ° С;
2. gasoline - 1300-1400 ° C;

Reducer

Design

The design of the lighter directly depends on its purpose. Pocket lighters have small size, they are easy to carry. The design is absolutely any, but the sizes are limited. Desktop lighters are quite rare. These lighters are quite massive and are not designed to be carried. The design of such lighters can be anything. There are also special fireplace lighters, with a large length they have a small width and thickness, and even lighters from famous brands. Not so long ago, sensor lighters appeared in which gas is ignited without mechanical influences, but by acting on the touch sensor.

Advertising

AT recent times so-called promotional lighters are gaining more and more popularity. They are an ordinary pocket lighter with information, usually of an advertising nature, applied using silk screen or pad printing. Widely used large networks stores and hotel and restaurant companies to advertise services and promote products.

kitchen lighter

Many lighters for cookers have an elongated spout (so that you can light the oven with them) and there are several types.

Ignition type

Gas

Electrical

They were common in Soviet times, such a lighter is plugged into an outlet. The lighter is tied not only to the house, but also to electricity. If there is no electricity in the house, light gas stove such a lighter is impossible. Has the most powerful spark effect while the button is pressed. The principle of operation is based on the cyclic closing and opening of the electrical circuit by a spark-producing rod under the influence of electromagnetic field. The iron-containing rod closes the circuit, turns on the electromagnet, which draws the rod into itself and thereby opens the circuit; then the rod under the action of the spring returns to its original position, and the process is repeated. The resulting electric arc ignites the gas. The advantages of such lighters: reliable and fast ignition of gas, simplicity and durability of the design. Disadvantages: dependence on an external supply circuit, high level radio interference, risk of electrical injury.

Battery powered

Designed to run on one or more batteries. It is a pulse converter with a step-up transformer. Gives off many weak sparks while the button is pressed. There is also a similar type of lighters on batteries (with the possibility of recharging from the mains).

Piezo

Does not require energy sources or other consumables. It has a piezoelectric in its design. Gives several powerful sparks along the button in one direction and in the other.

Certification

There are standards and regulations for the manufacture of lighters: for example, ISO 9994:2005(E) Lighters-Safety specification (“Lighters - safety requirements”), which describes technical requirements to lighters different types, corresponding fire height, inertness of materials, etc.

Souvenir lighters banned

The EU and a number of US states have adopted or are preparing to adopt legislative acts, prohibiting the circulation souvenir lighters, made in the form of objects that are not lighters (animals, cartoon characters, lanterns, cameras, etc.), which can be mistaken for toys by children and lead to injuries, burns and fires in their hands.

Story

The first gas lighter, the Döbereiner flint, was invented by Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner in 1823. It was produced until 1880.

The first modern "flint" lighter was created after the invention of a ferrocerium alloy by Baron Karl Auer von Welsbach in 1903 in Austria. It is this alloy that is the basis for the manufacture of "flints" for lighters. Then the flint lighter acquired a design that has survived to this day almost unchanged: a specially jagged wheel strikes a spark from the “flint”, and the spark ignites the wick soaked in gasoline or the gas coming out of the valve.

The development of lighters was accelerated during the First World War. The soldiers used matches to see the way in the dark, but the intense flash when ignited gave away their location. The need for a fire without a big flash fueled the lighter industry. By the end of the war, lighters were a mass-produced product. The leader in the production of "flint" lighters at that time was the birthplace of ferrocerium, Austria, and also Germany. A little later, lighters began to be mass-produced around the world.

During World War II, Zippo lighters, made in the USA and distributed to American military personnel, have become the standard for reliability and functionality [ ] among liquid lighters.

An excerpt characterizing the Lighter

“I was there,” Rostov said with anger, as if by this he wanted to offend the adjutant.
Bolkonsky noticed the state of the hussar, and it seemed funny to him. He smiled slightly contemptuously.
- Yes! Lots of stories about this stuff!
“Yes, stories,” Rostov spoke loudly, looking at Boris and then Bolkonsky with furious eyes, “yes, there are many stories, but our stories are the stories of those who were in the very fire of the enemy, our stories have weight, and not stories of those staff thugs who receive awards without doing anything.
“Which do you suppose I belong to?” - calmly and especially pleasantly smiling, said Prince Andrei.
A strange feeling of anger and at the same time respect for the calmness of this figure was united at that time in the soul of Rostov.
“I’m not talking about you,” he said, “I don’t know you and, I confess, I don’t want to know. I'm talking about staff in general.
“And I’ll tell you what,” Prince Andrei interrupted him with calm authority in his voice. - You want to insult me, and I am ready to agree with you that this is very easy to do if you do not have sufficient respect for yourself; but you will agree that both the time and place are very badly chosen for this. One of these days we will all have to be in a big, more serious duel, and besides, Drubetskaya, who says that he is your old friend, is not in the least to blame for the fact that my physiognomy had the misfortune not to please you. However,” he said, getting up, “you know my name and you know where to find me; but do not forget,” he added, “that I do not consider myself or you offended at all, and my advice, as a man older than you, is to leave this matter without consequences. So on Friday, after the show, I'm waiting for you, Drubetskoy; goodbye, ”concluded Prince Andrei and went out, bowing to both.
Rostov remembered what he had to answer only when he had already left. And he was even more angry because he forgot to say it. Rostov immediately ordered his horse to be brought in and, after taking a dry farewell to Boris, rode off to his place. Should he go tomorrow main apartment and call this breaking adjutant, or, in fact, leave the matter like this? was a question that tormented him all the way. Now he thought with malice about how pleased he would be to see the fright of this small, weak and proud little man under his pistol, then he felt with surprise that of all the people he knew, he would not have wanted so much to have his friend like this adjutant he hated.

On the next day of Boris' meeting with Rostov, there was a review of the Austrian and Russian troops, both fresh, who had come from Russia, and those who had returned from the campaign with Kutuzov. Both emperors, the Russian with the heir to the crown prince and the Austrian with the archduke, made this review of the allied 80,000-strong army.
From early morning, smartly cleaned and cleaned troops began to move, lining up on the field in front of the fortress. Then thousands of feet and bayonets with fluttering banners moved, and at the command of the officers they stopped, turned around and formed up at intervals, bypassing other similar masses of infantry in different uniforms; then with measured clatter and clatter sounded elegant cavalry in blue, red, green embroidered uniforms with embroidered musicians in front, on black, red, gray horses; then, stretching out with its copper sound of trembling on carriages, cleaned, shiny cannons and with its own smell of overcoats, artillery crawled between the infantry and cavalry and was placed in designated places. Not only generals in full dress uniform, with impossibly thick and thin waist and reddened, propped up collars, necks, in scarves and all orders; not only pomaded, dressed-up officers, but every soldier, with a fresh, washed and shaved face and cleaned up to the last possible shine with ammunition, every horse, groomed so that, like satin, its wool shone on it and hair to hair lay wetted mane, - everyone felt that something serious, significant and solemn was happening. Each general and soldier felt their insignificance, conscious of being a grain of sand in this sea of ​​people, and together they felt their power, conscious of being part of this huge whole.
Intense chores and efforts began from early in the morning, and at 10 o'clock everything came into the required order. Rows lined up on the vast field. The whole army was stretched out in three lines. Cavalry in front, artillery in back, infantry in back.
Between each row of troops there was, as it were, a street. Three parts of this army sharply separated from one another: the combat Kutuzovskaya (in which the Pavlogradites stood on the right flank in the front line), army and guard regiments that had come from Russia, and the Austrian army. But all stood under one line, under one command and in the same order.
As the wind swept through the leaves, an excited whisper: “They are coming! they're going!" Frightened voices were heard, and a wave of fuss over the last preparations ran through all the troops.
Ahead of Olmutz appeared a moving group. And at the same time, although the day was windless, a light stream of wind ran through the army and slightly shook the weather vanes of the lance and the unfurled banners that were frayed on their shafts. It seemed that the army itself, with this slight movement, expressed its joy at the approach of sovereigns. One voice was heard: "Attention!" Then, like roosters at dawn, the voices repeated in different directions. And everything went quiet.
In the dead silence only the sound of horses could be heard. It was the suite of emperors. The sovereigns drove up to the flank and the sounds of the trumpeters of the first cavalry regiment were heard, playing a general march. It seemed that it was not the trumpeters who played it, but the army itself, rejoicing at the approach of the sovereign, naturally made these sounds. Because of these sounds, one young, gentle voice of Emperor Alexander was clearly heard. He said hello, and the first regiment barked: Hurrah! so deafening, prolonged, joyful that the people themselves were horrified by the number and strength of the bulk that they made up.
Rostov, standing in the forefront of the Kutuzov army, to which the sovereign approached the first, experienced the same feeling that every person in this army experienced - a feeling of self-forgetfulness, a proud consciousness of power and a passionate attraction to the one who was the cause of this triumph.
He felt that it depended on one word of this man that this whole mass (and he, associated with it, an insignificant grain of sand) would go into fire and into water, to crime, to death or to the greatest heroism, and therefore he could not help but tremble and freeze at the sight of that approaching word.
– Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! - thundered from all sides, and one regiment after another received the sovereign with the sounds of a general march; then Hurrah! ... general march and again Urra! and hooray!! which, growing stronger and stronger, merged into a deafening roar.
Until the sovereign arrived, each regiment, in its silence and immobility, seemed like a lifeless body; as soon as the sovereign was compared with him, the regiment revived and thundered, joining the roar of the entire line that the sovereign had already passed. At the terrible, deafening sound of these voices, in the midst of the masses of the army, motionless, as if petrified in their quadrangles, carelessly, but symmetrically and, most importantly, hundreds of horsemen of the retinue moved freely and in front of them were two people - emperors. The restrained passionate attention of all this mass of people was undividedly focused on them.
Handsome, young Emperor Alexander, in a horse guards uniform, in a three-cornered hat, put on from the field, with his pleasant face and sonorous, soft voice attracted all the power of attention.
Rostov stood not far from the trumpeters and from afar with his keen eyes recognized the sovereign and followed his approach. When the sovereign approached at a distance of 20 steps and Nicholas clearly, to every detail, examined the beautiful, young and happy face of the emperor, he experienced a feeling of tenderness and delight, the like of which he had not experienced before. Everything - every feature, every movement - seemed to him charming in the sovereign.
Stopping in front of the Pavlograd regiment, the sovereign said something in French to the Austrian emperor and smiled.

Zippo are the legendary American gasoline lighters manufactured by the Zippo Manufacturing Company, which was founded in 1932. According to the official version, the idea to produce and sell reliable and affordable lighters came to the future founder and owner of the company, George Grant Blaisdell, when one day in a club he saw his friend's inconvenience when trying to light a cigarette. At first, Blaisdell tried to sell Austrian lighters, but found several flaws in them and, being a man of ingenuity, improved the design and improved the characteristics of the model, giving the new product the name Zippo. In 1936 the design of the Zippo lighter was patented and has not changed much since then - a metal case rectangular shape, a hinged spring-loaded lid that can be easily opened with one hand, a special wall that protects the wick from side wind and, of course, a branded click when opening and closing the lid, which is also patented.
Over the past 80 years, Zippo lighters have become a symbol of american quality and reliability, a cult item and a collectible (the company even produces a special guide for collectors). In the museum that exists next to the factory, a huge number of models produced in different years: Related unusual stories, owned famous people, samples from limited editions, experimental samples, models with all sorts of finishes - you can study history from the exhibits of the Zippo Museum. There are not only traditional brass and nickel-plated lighters, but also models in silver, gold, steel, leather and wood trim, and the number various designs images and overlays on the case number in the tens of thousands. Since 1956 narrow lighters are produced, intended mainly for women, and since 2005. - gas lighters.
Each classic Zippo lighter consists of 22 parts and requires 108 operations to produce. All Zippo lighters are stamped on the bottom with a logo, early models also have a patent number on the stamp, from 1957. the year is indicated on the stamp, and since 1986. and month of issue. In addition to the stamp, you can determine the authenticity of the lighter by the wheel, the inscriptions on the inner case, the windscreen and some other features.
