Claims20
A lighter comprising a container which is arranged within the lighter and which is suitable for containing a liquefied gas or a mixture of a liquid and a gas, the container having a first volume and a second volume, and a first compressible member disposed within the second volume, wherein the first compressible member at least partially fills the second volume,
- wherein the first compressible member occupies not more than 15% of a total volume of the container when, in a first compressed state, the container is filled with a pre-set maximum amount of liquefied gas or of mixture of liquid and gas, and
- wherein the total volume of the container comprises the first volume and the second volume.
A lighter comprising a container which is arranged within the lighter and which is suitable for containing a liquefied gas or a mixture of a liquid and a gas, a dividing element dividing the container in fluid-tight and gas-tight manner into a first volume containing the liquefied gas or the mixture of liquid and gas and into a second volume, and a compressible member disposed within the second volume, wherein the compressible member at least partially fills the second volume,
- wherein the pressure differences between the first volume and the second volume are balanced within the container by deformation of the dividing element.
