I would like to gratify his own curiosity. :-)

Materialtsy looked mainly at this site (thank you, Vladimir!), For various petrol flip topam, relatively speaking, relatives, more or less close, Zipp. And pay attention to the following: almost exclusively on explicit Zippo-clones found similar springing cover - through a tricky form of the cam. Most are more or less distinctive designs use, I think, more simple and technological (and yet, I suspect, not less effective) biasing system simply by leaf springs. Granted, it is possible that not all the designs I've seen, but nevertheless, "the trend is visible." Was wondering - where did he come about this idea with the cam? Pure notion Blensdeyla? The Austrian spy ancestor could not, there is a removable cover at all ... just that this cam is somehow "not fit" into the overall process technology zippovsky, subjectively, I think so. Ineteresno, by the way, the technology of its production - stamping, casting? He is not milled, then it will result in the production cost of the rest of the lighter. In any case, an intentional design complexity. Due to the small number of imitations - a patented feature of this design?

PS As an offtopic - scanning the forum repeatedly ran across opinion about armor'ov - say, a purely image-move. Without disputing this claim, wanted to throw in my two cents: a couple of years ago, on sharyas zabugornom Zippo-Resources, stumbled, almost on offsayte, to remark that the armor appeared to be able to make a more profound relief gravarovki on the case. May have a right to exist.

Looked Wait a scheme with the first patent Blaisdell - and there are in fact at all, in contrast to classical Zipp, the second "well" in the tank in which he lives coil spring. In the context of such and such a course, need some kind of "transfer element" to the cover, which role performs the proverbial fist. The scheme, it must be said, even more distinctive. Later (if you believe http://www.dateyourzippo.com - in 1937), apparently from a coil spring refused to simplify the design (no need to enclose an extra compartment in the inserts), attached a (quite elegant technically, admittedly) flat , and the cam was "inherited".

A lighter with leaf springs - they have a "click" when you open is not expressed at all?

PS But all these mechanical nuances fliptopov pale in comparison with giblets Imki. :-)

Sincerely yours, Merqury ...

Hmm, I thought - and in the front line, I wonder no one arrives with the opposing party "to the sound of" opening the lid Zippo? :-) And then in the silence of the night patrol calls should be to click ...

In this regard, should be the safest type of old lighters IRIC, even non-automatic, or Bowers - there is nothing to click at all. :-)

Yes, fliptopov with plates at the opening of a clique is not (for night patrol - the fact), but when you close the clacking as yet, only the cover and stick to the newer :) And a fliptop - the more klats closing.

Hmm, we gather in the offtopic, but I think Vladimir forgive us. :-)

And any liftarmy how "sonorous"? They all somehow klatsayut opening-closing? Or, for example, Ronsonovskie machines? Et of course, if you ever have to deal with them. I have something of benzinok than Zipp and IRIC is nothing in the hands not holding still.

Zippo!!! :)))))))

oh, originally sdelano.chestno say I am not the owner of a replica 41, but if my hearing does not fail me, click it differs from the usual ... here I do not know! :)

Okay, thanks for that! :) The point is, as they say :)

No, there was not yet :) This is America 42-45 years. Military krekl. Once postsilt here

Well, still ahead, we will wait! :)

that is a replica 41? can you meant this as it should be original Zippo '41? :) Or I did not understand, maybe ...

Yes, Sergey, lucky you with a replica :) It's the same thing as if a normal lid was suddenly dropped to 180 degrees, like a replica :) And what year this "wrong"?

Oh, man found a topic for discussion - there is cover by 180 degrees, and there nedotyagivaet :)

I saw both of them. Position of the lid in the open position depends on tiny slack in the loop. So tiny that they are not visible eye, it's a millimeter. Both are permissible within the production process. By the way, a lot of old, he borrowed Zipp cover also folds to 180, and they are the usual model, not a replica. The reason - again developed of the loop.

Sends it to Bradford.

To me, this fact neotkidyvaniya cover at Replicas - unexpected and unpleasant discovery.

oh well! although I do not know, I do not have copies of these, so I basically to check on chem.a not so seriously, in fact I thought that under the weight she just did should be open, although it still depends on how open it, if gently and slowly with both hands, and so it may not help, and if tilted sharply ... but I will not argue, of course! no, no way ... for me it just does not matter at all it was, I still always adheres to the cover of habit, so join in the debate on the topic ete will not ... :) than the rich, and so happy ...
