[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 induce the direct light conversion into electric energy and, in comparison with the current apparatuses working with piles, principally realizes a working continuity, saves time and avoids to have to periodically proceed with the change of the 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, by line 2, sends said energy to a battery 3 putting into effect the recharge continually. Said energy by line 4 to a switch 5, for starting up the gas-lighter, puts in action by line 6 an oscillator 7 while, by line 8, puts in action a transistor 9 connected by line 10 to a resistance 11 that, by line 12, is connected to the oscillator 7. Moreover the starting of the transistor 9 is completed by line 13. The oscillator 7 helped by the transistor 9 gives energy by line 14 to a diode 15 which, by line 16, transfers the same to a capacitor 17 from which, by line 18, a transformer 19 is fed. From diode 15, by line 20, an energy part is transfered to a resistance 21 from which, by line 22, the same energy comes to a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) 23, the operating of which by line 24 is regulated by a resistance 25 connected by line 26 to the transistor 9. The energy held into the capacitor 17 by line 18 arrives at the transformer 19, put in starting the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) 23 by line 27. The operating of the silicon controlled rectifier 23 is helped by a connection by line 28 to the transistor 9. The energy transfer from the capacitor 17 to the transistor 9 is permitted by a connection by line 29 while the connection between the diode 15 and the transformer 19 is realized by 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 to the transformer 19 by line 35 which determines an electric arc toward the line 27 generating a repetitive ignition spark. A working device is realized on a printed circuit 36 positioned on a half-shell 37 whereas on the other half-shell 38 is connected the pick-up unit formed by the solar cell 1. The gas-ligther is formed by integral assembling of the half-shells 37 and 38 with a head 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 a 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 a perspective view from behind of right side of the gas-lighter. In the realization the shape, the materials and the electronic circuit elements are differently provided on the basis of the necessities.
