Abstract
A piezoelectric lighter includes a flame-generating device (30) including a gas jet releasing mechanism (36) and spark-generating mechanism piezoelectric mechanism (50). The lighter includes two actuating elements (32, 34; 140, 150, 170, 180; 210, 220; 240, 250) capable of moving along a longitudinal axis (XX′) under the action of a force exerted by the user, at least one (32; 140; 170; 210; 240) of the actuating elements, called first actuating element, being capable of moving independently of the second actuating element (34; 150; 180; 220; 250) and to act on at least on one (50) of the mechanisms, called first mechanism, the second actuating element being adapted to act on the second mechanism (36).
Claims16
A piezoelectric-type lighter containing a flame-generation device which includes a mechanism releasing a jet of gas and a piezoelectric spark-generation mechanism, wherein the said lighter includes two actuators capable of moving along a longitudinal axis XX′ under the action of a force exerted by a user, at least one of the said actuators, called first actuator, being capable of moving independently of the second actuator and of acting at least on one of the said mechanisms, called first mechanism, the said second actuator being capable of acting at least on the second mechanism.
A lighter according to 1, wherein the two actuators are independent of each other in their axial movement.
