Benefits of technology

The present patent describes an air fire lighter that is portable, battery-operated, and adjustable into multiple positions for optimal placement when igniting solid fuel. The lighter includes a ducted fan for igniting the fuel and a chamber for providing optimal airflow to the fire. The lighter is easy to port and store, and safely isolates gaseous fuel from an operating electrical fan. Additionally, the patent describes an air fire lighter with a pair of barrels for gaseous fuel and an axial fan. The lighter eliminates the need for transferring fuel to a reservoir, making it more convenient and user-friendly.

Problems solved by technology

While these units may be suitable for the particular purpose employed, or for general use, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present disclosure as disclosed hereafter.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 1 illustrates an air fire lighter 10 for starting a solid fuel fire. The air fire lighter initiates a fire by heating solid fuel with a lighter flame until combustion begins and a glow point forms in the fuel. The air fire lighter spreads the fire by blowing air on the glow point, distributing the heat and combustible vapors released by the solid fuel at a glow point stage to adjacent solid fuel until a persistent combustion stage is established, forming a vibrant flame that is further spread by the blowing air. The solid fuel is, for example, but not limited to, wood, charcoal, peat, coal, biomass pellets and other similar combustibles that burn producing heat and light. The solid fuel is burnt, for example, but not limited to, in an open campfire, a stove, a grill, a fireplace, a chimenea, a fire pit and a smoker.

[0026]The air fire lighter 10 has a housing 12 and the housing has a barrel 14 with a distal end 14D and a proximal end 14P. The barrel has an internal chamber...

Abstract

An air fire lighter having fuel and a ducted axial fan for igniting a solid fuel fire. The fuel travels through the fire lighter to a distal end of the fire lighter and is ignited by an igniter. The flame is applied to solid fuel. As the solid fuel begins to glow at the initiation of the fire, the fan is activated, shutting off the vapors from the fuel. The fan blows air through a chamber onto the fire, causing the fire to spread throughout the solid fuel, establishing and spreading the fire through an ignition period. The chamber has a volume and ducting for providing optimal airflow to the fire. The fan is battery-operated. A further example embodiment of the air fire lighter has a pair of chamber barrels, a first barrel for the gaseous fuel and a second barrel housing the axial fan.
