Abstract
A lighter comprises a container that is configured to hold a liquid fuel, a cap attachable to a top portion of the container, a fuel cap attachable to a bottom portion of the container, a first watertight seal formed by a first sealing element between the cap and the container, and a second watertight seal formed by a second sealing element between the fuel cap and the container.
Claims20
A lighter, comprising:
- a container that is configured to hold a liquid fuel, the container comprising a first threaded end and a second threaded end;
- a cap attachable to a top portion of the container;
- a fuel cap attachable to a bottom portion of the container;
- a wind guard coupled to the container via a removable assembly pin, the wind guard comprising a plurality of oxygen holes;
- a void defined by an upper horizontal surface of the first threaded end, a vertical wall defining a surface of a protrusion, and the wind guard, wherein the void is disposed between the protrusion and the wind guard, wherein the void is in communication with oxygen through the plurality of oxygen holes;
- a first watertight seal formed by a first sealing element between the cap and the container;
- and
- a second watertight seal formed by a second sealing element between the fuel cap and the container.

A lighter, comprising:
- a container, the container comprising a first threaded end and a second threaded end;
- a wind guard attachable to the container, the wind guard comprising a plurality of oxygen holes;
- a void defined by an upper horizontal surface of the first threaded end, a vertical wall defining a surface of a protrusion, and the wind guard, wherein the void is disposed between the protrusion and the wind guard, wherein the void is in communication with oxygen through the plurality of oxygen holes;
- and
- a lighting mechanism disposed within the wind guard, wherein the lighting mechanism comprises a friction wheel, a flint, and a spring, wherein the friction wheel is attached to the wind guard by a friction wheel pin, which passes though both the friction wheel and the wind guard and allows the friction wheel to freely rotate about the friction wheel pin.
