Among items used to start a fire, the usual practice is to use newspaper, birch bark, kindling, often with a petroleum activator added in. It is acknowledged that the efficacy of known combustion devices is a function not only of their composition, but also of the way in which they are placed on the substance to be lit, in order to allow air to flow through to maintain the flame. In this invention, the lighting device is made of several sheets of corrugated cardboard, superposed on one another and held together with glue to form a briquette, which is then impregnated with paraffin, wax or vegetal or animal fat. The use and distinctiveness of this invention results from the fact that the placement of the lighting device on the substance to be lit matters little, since the flow of air is ensured by the very make-up of the device itself. In fact, the alveoli in the impregnated cardboard allow this air flow and as a result, provide a sustained flame. It provides quick and sustained lighting with a minimum of space. The device may also sometimes be fitted with paraffin impregnated matches. In this case, it is a lighting device designed for survival which allows a match to be readily available to the user.
Dans les articles servant à allumer un feu, la pratique courante était de se servir de journaux, d'écorce de bouleaux, de bois fendu en bois d'allumage, additionné souvent d'un activant pétrolier. On sait que l'efficacité de combustion des dispositifs d'allumage déjà connus résulte non seulement de leur constitution mais également de la façon dont ceux-ci sont disposés sur la substance à allumer afin de permettre un jeu d'air pour l'entretien de la flamme. Dans la présente invention, le dispositif d'allumage qui est un allume-feu est composé de plusieurs feuilles de carton ondulé, superposées les unes sur les autres et retenues entr'elles par de la colle pour ainsi former une briquette, laquelle est ensuite imprégnée de paraffine, de cire ou de gras animal ou végétal. L'utilité et la distinction de la présente invention résulte du fait que la disposition de ce dispositif d'allumage sur la substance à allumer importe peu puisque le jeu d'air est permis grâce à la constitution même du dispositif d'allumage. En effet, les alvéoles du carton ondulé imprégnées permettent ce jeu d'air et par conséquent, procure une flamme soutenue. Il permet un allumage rapide et soutenu, dans un minimum d'espace. Egalement, le dispositif d'allumage peut occasionnellement être muni d'allumettes paraffinées. Dans ce cas, il s'agit d'un allume-feu de survie qui permet qu'une allumette soit toujours à la disposition de son utilisateur.
