大家好,鄙人matchbox文化,之前虽然玩了多年zippo,但上网查资料却只是学习与吸收,从未发过任何帖子,希望这第一次发帖能够交到更多Z友,并给各位提供便利。
以下是我多年前留存的一份日文版zippo变迁史的图片(当时用手机的全景模式拍摄的),其中包含zippo从诞生之日起到1992年的所有底刻、外形的图文资料。历经多年原书已经丢失,不过个人感觉就这一张图片依旧非常有用,现在翻译出来,希望各位喜欢。
由于图片是一张长约1米、宽约30公分的超长大图,估计会导致部分手机无法全范围打开,只能进行剪裁和压缩,想要高清大图的,可以找我。部分内容还会以黄字作为注释,最后还会附上中英文的文本信息方便各位复制和查询。
全景图拍摄导致图片部分位置有点模糊,因此翻译历经波折,如果各位喜欢,还请点赞支持,谢谢
第一部分:1932年到1936年


文本:
1932年:
The first Zippo lighters were square-cornered and formed from rectangular brass tubing Too and bottom pieces were soldered The hinge was soldered on the outside.
第一个Zippo打火机是方角的,由长方形黄铜管制成,底部零件是焊接的,铰链焊接在外面。
1933年:
Decorative diagonal lines were engraved across the top and bottom of each side of the lighter.
打火机两侧的顶部和底部都刻有装饰性的对角线。
1934年:
The lighter still had square corners and the hinge on the outside as the 1933 original models but it was shortened one quarter inch.
与1933年的原机型一样,打火机仍有四角和外部铰链,但缩短了四分之一英寸。
1935年:
Kendall Refining Company ordered 500 engraved lighters for its customers and employees. lt opened the door into the specialty advertising business market. Customer trademarks were designed from small metaliques that were glued to the case and color filled.
肯德尔炼油公司为其客户和员工订购500台雕刻打火机。它打开了进入专业广告市场的大门。顾客的商标是用填充了颜色并贴在外壳上的金属片设计的。
1936年:
Late in 1936,patent number was stamped on the bottom.As the hinge was removed from the outside, only the hinge barrel was visible.The original patent on Zippo lighters. #2032695, was issued on March 3,1936
1936年末,专利号被印在了底部。由于铰链被从外部移除,从外面看只能看到铰链桶。Zippo打火机的原始专利。第2032695号,1936年3月3日发布
注:从上文可知,所谓铰链内置应该就是1936年底开始的,但36年年初到年中应该依旧是外置铰链
第二部分:1937年到1946年(包含二战期间生产的各类zippo)


Due to a new press machine,the design and manufacture of the lighters were modified and a more modern rounded design was born..The soldering process was eliminated.
由于采用了新的压力机,打火机的设计和制造进行了改进,并采用了更现代的圆形设计,取消了焊接工艺。
Late in 1936,the hinge was plased on the in side and the early square cornered model with four hinge barrel was continued production till 1941.
1936年底,铰链被放在内测,早期的四铰链筒方角模型一直持续生产到1941年。
Because of shortage of brass due to WWII Zippo lighters were made of porous steel and sprayed with black paint,then baked to a crackle finish. However,some steel models were not black crackle finished.
由于二战期间缺乏黄铜,Zippo打火机采用由喷着黑漆的多孔钢经过烘烤出裂纹的方式来制作。甚至有一些钢制模型都没有进行黑漆裂纹处理。
ln mid WWII, hinge barrel was switched from 4 to 3.
在二战中期,铰链筒从4个转为3个
注:仔细看这一行的zippo,会发现这几年的zippo铰链数从3到4个到5个全都有,且粗细、宽度也都不相同。估计是因跟1939年二战爆发有关。1941年珍珠港事件爆发导致美国参战,而这段时间却刚好处于zippo工艺改进最快的时代(从原先的焊接外壳变为冲压外壳),出现如此多造型的外壳看来并不奇怪
第三部分:1947年到1954年


1947年:
Around 1946, a so-called canned bottom,which had indent like a bottom of canned product, was introduced. Previous models had so-called flat bottoms
大约在1946年,一种所谓的罐头底部被发明出来,它的凹痕就像罐头产品的底部。以前的型号称为平底
1951年:
5 barrel hinge was adopted and it is still uesd today. 采用5桶铰链,至今仍在使用
1952年:
During the Korean War, because of shortage of material, Zippo lighters were made from steel until 1953 .In 1953,marking of the bottom was changed because of application of patent on flint tube bushing 朝鲜战争期间,由于材料短缺,直到1953年,Zippo打火机都是用钢制成的。1953年,打火机底部的标记因燧石管衬套申请专利而改变
1953年:
When the Korean War was over, Zippo ligher cases returned to the chrome plated brass. 随着朝鲜战争的结束,Zippo 的外壳又重新回到镀铬黄铜。
