Abstract
A child-resistant cigarette lighter having a cigarette well with a flame chamber near its bottom. Fuel and air are supplied to the flame chamber producing a combustible mixture which is then ignited, thereby producing a flame which is entirely confined to the well.
Claims15
A child-resistant cigarette lighter comprising:
- A. a fuel tank;
- and
- B. fuel within the fuel tank;
- and
- C. means forming a cigarette well and a flame chamber, and means between said well and flame chamber for stopping a cigarette from entering said flame chamber;
- D. means for supplying fuel from the fuel tank to the flame chamber;
- and
- E. means for supplying air to the flame chamber for mixing with the fuel to produce a combustible mixture;
- and
- F. means for igniting the combustible mixture in the flame chamber thereby producing a flame which is essentially confined to the flame chamber.

12 more elements
A child-resistance cigarette lighter comprising:
- A. a case;
- and
- B. a fuel tank within the case;
- and
- C. fuel within the fuel tank;
- and
- D. a circular, cigarette well opening through the case;
- and
- 1. constituting means for receiving a cigarette;
- and
- 2. having an inside diameter only slightly greater than the outside diameter of a cigarette;
- and
- 3. having flame-permeable stops near its bottom;
- and
- E. A flame chamber below the bottom of the well;
- and
- F. Means for supplying fuel from the fuel tank to the flame chamber;
- and
- G. Means for supplying air to the flame chamber;
- and
- H. Means for mixing the fuel and air in the flame chamber to produce a combustible mixture;
- and
- I. Means for igniting the combustible mixture in the flame chamber thereby producing a flame which
- 1. is principally contained within the flame chamber;
- and
- 2. passes through the bottom of the well to ignite any cigarette in the well;
- and
- 3. is entirely confined to the case;
- thereby igniting a cigarette without permitting contact between the flame and any portion of an operator's person or clothing.
