Burnable material in the form of an ignition strip

Abstract

The present invention comprises an inflammable, single-service material assembly ( 1 ) in the form of a lighting strip ( 10 ), in a non-compacted state adapted to be able to present, after a lighting, an initial combustion with a generated amount of energy adapted for an initial lighting and a subsequent secondary combustion, for a lighting of an adjoining inflammable material ( 6, 6 a, 6 b ), such as pieces of firewood formed from wood. The lighting strip ( 10 ) is, in a position intended for storing, allotted the form of a roll and has, at all events, two thin slender, elongate and co-ordinated strips ( 10′, 10 ″), wound up to a compact helical shape. The lighting strip ( 10 ) is structured as and constituting of, at all events, a thin paper strip ( 10 ′) and of, at all events, a thin plastic strip ( 10 ″), and that the lighting strip ( 10 ), in an unwound and non-compacted state ( 9 ), is so co-ordinated that a rapid lighting and a combustion of the paper strip ( 10 ′) and the plastic strip ( 10 ″) will take place.

         6 . Material assembly according to  claim 1  wherein said additional substances are fixed inside a formed gap between one or more of said thin paper strips and one or more of said thin plastic strips, by the fact that adjoining and opposite strip-allotted edges are provided with one or more seals.  
     
     
         7 . Material assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein said seals are longitudinally oriented, for the formation of a tunnel or a tube of utilised paper strip and utilised plastic strip, alternatively longitudinally and transversally oriented for the formation of a number of closed pockets.  
     
     
         8 . Material assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the paper strip is allotted an adapted thickness, flexural stiffness and/or resilience, with strip-associated paper fibres oriented and allotted a capacity to be able to realign elastically somewhat after a crumpling up for the formation of a ball structure.  
     
     
         9 . Material assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the thickness, the flexural stiffness and/or the resilience of the paper strip and co-ordinated plastic strip are/is adapted to, under a certain compression, be able to support pieces of firewood resting against said ball structure.  
     
     
         10 . Material assembly according to  claim 1  or wherein the thin plastic strip consists of an environmental-friendly, high-energy, plastic material, forming carbon dioxide and water during a combustion at a free access of air.  
     
     
         11 . Material assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the material content in and the structure of the paper strip co-ordinated with the thickness and selected material in the plastic strip are mutually adapted to give a chosen balance between a structural- and stability-providing capacity and an energy- and power-releasing capacity generated during combustion.  
     
     
         12 . Material assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the paper strip and/or the plastic strip have/has an edge configuration adapted for providing an embodiment that gives a tendency to and a possibility of a rapid lighting up sequence.  
     
     
         13 . Material assembly according to  claim 1  wherein a multistage effect allotted to the combustion is adapted to be attained by the fact that a more highly flammable layer or a part is brought to catch fire initially, and that the same in turn is adapted to allowing to light a second layer or part, adapted to subsequently being burnt at a higher temperature.  
     
     
         14 . Material assembly according to  claim 1  wherein a utilised additional substance is adapted for a selected energy release, directly adapted to a current field of application.
