Combined pocket body warmer and cigarette lighter - has lighter set within hinged casing to ignite platinised catalytic heating unit

摘要

On one end face (11a) of a case (11) are aligned a heating unit (12) including a platinised catalyst (6), a burner comprising a wick (24) in communication with an absorbent (21) containing liquid fuel, and an ignition unit (35,36). A tubular windshield (25) is mounted on the end face of the case to surround the burner. The windshield has an opening (32) on the side facing the heating unit, through which a lighter flame (55) emitted from the burner is directed to the heating unit to set it alight when the case is turned so that the heating unit lies above the burner. A rotatably mounted rubbing member has its peripheral surface arranged to coact with a flint which is urged against the rubbing member and supported by the case.
