Abstract

See full text

A tinder storage container solar powered fire starter that includes top and lower housings that when coupled together form a water tight tinder storage cavity of which the inside bottom surface is a machined parabolic reflector that when used in conjunction with a tinder holder arm that securely positions the fire starting tinder at the exact focus of the reflective parabolic surface of the lower housing is able to use solar power to ignite combustible materials. The tinder holder arm is stowed in the top housing during non-use and incorporates a series of light through holes, and flex points, that provide maximum efficiency and quick positioning from stow configuration to fire starting configuration. The inside reflective inside surface of the top housing is a signal mirror, a lanyard hole is provided to prevent loss. An hour glass shaped air escape slot provides easy coupling of the top and bottom housings.
