Abstract
A de-icing device comprises a lighter and a flame tube inserted thereon and provided with aligned openings through which a key can be inserted for exposure to the heat of the lighter flame. The lighter and the flame tube are partially accommodated in housing; the parts of the lighter and the flame tube that project from the housing are covered by a removable top closure which, when in place, constitutes an entirely closed casing together with the housing. On the outside of the housing and the top closure there are formed matching length portions of a scraper edge for using the device as an ice scraper when the top closure is in place.
