Abstract
A flame producing assembly includes a pocket lighter, an extended wand, a rigid support, and a helical spring. The pocket lighter extends along a longitudinal axis and defines a length. The pocket lighter includes a piezoelectric ignition device operable to produce an electric charge. The extended wand is electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device. The rigid support is disposed inside the extended wand and includes a longitudinal inner opening. The helical spring extends along the longitudinal inner opening and protrudes beyond a free end of the rigid support. The free end is opposite a connecting end that is proximate to the pocket lighter.
Claims18
A flame producing assembly comprising:
- a pocket lighter extending along a longitudinal axis and defining a length, the pocket lighter including a piezoelectric ignition device operable to produce an electric charge,
- an extended wand electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device,
- a rigid support disposed inside the extended wand, the rigid support including a longitudinal inner opening;
- and
- a helical spring extending along the longitudinal inner opening, wherein the helical spring protrudes beyond a free end of the rigid support, the free end of the rigid support being opposite a connecting end of the rigid support that is proximate to the pocket lighter,
- wherein the helical spring includes a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion being a diffuser.
A flame producing assembly comprising:
- a pocket lighter extending along a longitudinal axis and defining a length, wherein the pocket lighter includes a piezoelectric ignition device configured to produce an electric charge,
- an extended wand electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device;
- a rigid support at least partially disposed inside the extended wand such that an inner space inside the extended wand is kept free between a free end of the rigid support and a free end of the extended wand, wherein the rigid support defines a longitudinal inner opening, the free end of the rigid support and the free end of the extended wand being opposite respective connecting ends that are proximate to the pocket lighter;
- and
- a helical spring extending along the longitudinal inner opening,
- wherein the helical spring protrudes beyond the free end of the rigid support into the inner space,
- wherein the extended wand comprises an antenna having a triangular shape, wherein a tip of the antenna protrudes in the inner space.
