Good day!

Most recently, the collector, I learned of the existence of Swiss lighters Thorens. I was so much struck by the Swiss invented a mechanism that I immediately bought myself a couple of lighters in the collection and opened a LiveJournal community dedicated to these lighters.

Do not take it for advertising, the fact is that these lighters in the network is very little information about this community is to collect and catalog the more or less of the available information on this topic.

You are welcome to us at the light

Respect! Great initiative, join! :))

PS Thanks for the pictures in the mail was not able to answer you - your spamorezka all my letters were killed.

All thinking to buy a least one (and there - as will). Question to owners: Is it true my assumption that, for all the undoubted beauty of design genius, there is the danger of "samozazhiganiya" such a thing in my pocket with a random activation button? Especially if in the same pocket any more objects that can hurt the moving cover lock. After all, in theory, with the lighter immediately gives the flame. By the way, this scheme is not only used Thorens, just type in a search engine, for example, eBay search lighters 1910, and, more often, will take the lighter other brands with similar "auto" (come out because patents are registered in this period, and this is an indication of bottome most models). Although there often, I remember a few key another, more "fire hazard" design. As I recall, came across American and German counterparts "push" Thorens (there are after all NEknopochnye Thorens, for example, with a folding windscreen, mechanics like Zippo, more precisely, Ronson Typhoon).

Sash, a button is provided in Thorens predohoranitelem - it can screw up and it does not hit. Oh and if you forget, then yes, in theory, can catch fire in my pocket.

two "fangs" that stick up, must cling to the "axis" on wheels:

I probably spring with "jacket". or purchased separately or look broken with the whole spring. problematic.
