' O. H. WOLF. AUTOMATIC LIGHTING DEVICE. No. 453,456. Patented June 2, 1891. WITNESSES: NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. CARL HUGO XVOLF, OF ZWICKAU, GERMANY. AUTOMATIC LIGHTING DEVICE. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,456, dated-Tune 2, 1891. Application filed August 20, 1890. Serial No. 362,549. (No model.) To all whom it may concern.- Be it known that I, CARL HUGO VOLF, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Zwickau, Germany, have invented certain Improvements 'in Automatic Lighting Devices, of which the following is a specification. My invention relates to an improved automatic igniting device with friction priming or ribbon, which latter will, after being ignited by the igniting device, be automatically caused to protrude from the casing or box in burning condition. The ribbon itself is appropriately impregnated and will burn, after being ignited by the friction priming or pill of fulminating material, with a bright flame, so that my improved igniting device can not only be employed as is now customary with ordinary igniting devices for igniting orlighting lamps, lanterns, and the like, with very volatile hydrocarbons, such as benzine, but also for igniting carriage and other lamps or lanterns in which candles, petroleum, 850., are used, for miners lamps with the ordinary oil orpetroleum or other charge, or for igniting any other kindof light which it is desired to ignite from the exterior of the lamp, lantern, or the like. Myimproved automatic igniting or lighting device can also be employed as a pocket-igniter for lighting cigars, &c.; and in order to cause my invention to be more perfectly understood I have represented the same in the accompanying drawings in the form of a pocketlighter. It will also be evident that my invention can be used for very many useful purposes, for which reason I do not confine myself to the special form or arrangement of the parts herein specified, as these can be varied according to the object to be ignited or lighted. The length of movement and the compression of the spring will of course depend on the distance between the caps in the ribbon provided with pellets of friction-priming. In order that my invention may be the better understood, I haveillustrated it in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is an elevation of a pocket cigarlighter to which is applied my improved lighting or igniting device. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of Fig. 1, showing the parts as operated for igniting the friction priming, ribbon, or strip. Fig. 3 is a like section representing the parts in the position they occupy when the knob has been released and the spring freed so that the burning ribbon can be automatically fed upward and outside the casing. Fig. t is a vertical section on the line 00 0c in Fig. 3.- -Fig. 5 is a top view with opened lid. Figs. 6, 7,and 8 represent, on an enlarged scale, the elevation and top views of the toothing to the pocket-lighter forproducing the ignition of the ribbon and the transportation of the same outside the device. The igniting or lighting device consists of an exterior casing a and an interior casing or box I), the inner casing 11 being arranged to move or slide up and down in the outer casing a. The downward movement when the device is arranged vertically or rear stroke when arranged at an angle to the wick to be lighted is attained by means of a knob or button 0, extending from the inner casing Z) through a slot or orifice in the outer casing a. I11 this manner the spring d is compressed... read more
