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.
Claims20
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, and
- a sub-unit assembly, the sub-unit assembly comprising an extended wand, a rigid support and an helical spring, the rigid support is disposed inside the extended wand and includes a longitudinal inner opening;
- wherein the pocket lighter is connected directly to the sub-unit assembly such that the extended wand is electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device and the helical spring extends along the longitudinal inner opening;
- and
- wherein the sub-unit assembly is snap-fitted to the pocket lighter.
