| (54) | Electronic gas-lighter with ignition spark to be fed by a battery rechargeable by a solar cell |
| (57) The standing of the gas-lighter in a luminous room determines the picking up of the
light with direct conversion in electric energy by means of a solar cell (1) that

[0001] The invention refers to an electronic gas-lighter with ignition spark essentially characterized to be fed by a battery to be recharged by a pick-up unit of the surrounding energy of light like a solar cell. The invention uses the property of said semiconductor device to actuate the direct light conversion into electric energy and, in comparison with the current apparatuses working with piles, principally realizes a working continuity and a save time and contemporary it avoids to mist periodically proceed with the change in position of the same piles. In the structural arrangement, illustrating by way of not limiting example one preferred embodiment of the invention, the standing of the gas-lighter in a luminous room determines the picking up of the light with direct conversion in electric energy by means of a solar cell 1 that, on line 2, sends said energy to a battery 3 putting into effect the recharge continually. Said energy on line 4 by a switch 5, starting up the gas-lighter, puts in action on line 6 an oscillator 7 while, on line 8, puts in action a transistor 9 connects on line 10 to a resistance 11 that, on line 12, is connected to the oscillator 7. Moreover the starting of the transistor 9 is completed on line 13.
[0002] The oscillator 7 helped to the transistor 9 gives energy on line 14 to the diode 15 which, on line 16, transfers the same to a capacitor 17 from which, on line 18, a transformer 19 is fed. Contemporary from diode 15, on line 20, an energy part is transfered to a resistance 21 from which, on line 22, the same energy comes to a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) 23, the operating of which on line 24 is regulated by a resistance 25 connects on line 26 to the transistor 9. The energy holds into the capacitor 17 on line 18 arrives at the transformer 19 put in starting to the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) 23 on line 27. The operating of the silicon controlled rectifier 23 is helped by a connection on line 28 to the transistor 9. The energy transfer from the capacitor 17 to the transistor 9 is permitted by a connection on line 29 while the connection between the diode 15 and the transformer 19 is actuated on line 30. The supplied energy from the transformer 19 is increased from a capacitor 31 through line 32 connected to the silicon controlled rectifier 23 and through lines 33 and 34 connected to the transformer 19. The resulting energy is given available to the transformer 19 on line 35 which determines an electric arc toward the line 27 generating a repetitive ignition stark. The working device is realized on a printed circuit 36 positioned on a half-shell 37 whereas on the other half-shell 38 in connected the pick-up unit formed by the solar cell 1. The gas-ligther is to be formed by integral assembling of the half-shells 37 and 38 with on the head the test prod 39. A preferred embodiment of the working system and of the shape of the invented gas-ligther are illustrated in indicative way in the drawings of sheets 1, 2 and 3. In sheet 1 fig. 1 is schematic block diagram of the working of the invented gas-lighter. In sheet 2 fig. 2 is the assembling diagram of the electronic circuit components. In sheet 3 fig. 3 is perspective view from behind of right side of the gas-lighter. In the realization the shape, the materials and the electronic circuit elements are to be different provided on the base of the use necessities.
