Abstract
A safety flint type lighter includes a striker blade having a striking surface which is in contact with the flint slidably mounting on a blade-track provided on the inner side of the supporting walls and a resilient element normally retaining and urging itself vertically and driving the striking surface of the striker blade to rapidly slide on the flint for striking spark. A locking latch is downwardly protruded from the top end of said pusher button facing said gas emitting nozzle. Operating the lighter, the pusher button is depressed and pulled outward wherein the depressed locking latch griping the resilient element and bending the resilient element. The resilient element is released at a point and driven the striker blade on the flint for generating spark.
Claims16
A safety flint type lighter, comprising
- a supporting frame comprising a casing having a liquefied gas cavity, a pair of supporting walls upwardly protruding from two opposite sides of a ceiling and each of said supporting walls having a circular gas-lever hole provided thereon for pivotally mounting a gas lever between said two supporting walls, a gas emitting nozzle appearing from said ceiling of said casing and communicating with said liquefied gas cavity which is actuated by said gas lever for releasing gas therefrom, a flame regulator encircling said gas emitting nozzle and controlling the flow of gas through said gas emitting nozzle, and a windshield mounting on said ceiling of said casing for encircling said gas emitting nozzle;
- an ignition means comprising a flint supporting by a flint-spring wherein said flint and said flint-spring are received in a flint housing provided on said ceiling of said casing between said two supporting walls, a striker blade having a striking surface which is in contact with said flint slidably mounting on a blade-track provided on inner sides of said supporting walls, said flint retained urging against said striking surface of said striker blade by means of said flint-spring for generating sparks directed toward said gas emitting nozzle when said striking surface is driven to slide against said flint, and a resilient element connecting to said striker blade on opposite side of said gas emitting nozzle wherein a lower end of said resilient element is affixed in a resilient element housing mounted on said ceiling of said casing;
- and
- a safety device comprising:
- a pusher button having an axle having two ends outwardly protruded from lower portions of two outer sides of said pusher button, wherein said two ends of said axle are adapted for inserting into two supporting slots provided on inner sides of said two supporting walls respectively so as to dispose on said ceiling of said casing in a vertically and outwardly movable manner,
- a pair of trigger protrusions outwardly protruding from two outer sides of said pusher button respectively and biasing against two safety grooves provided on said two inner sides of said two supporting walls respectively when the pusher button is depressed,
- a pusher spring normally retaining and urging said pusher button in an upper normal position wherein one end of said pusher spring mounting in a spring hole which is provided on said ceiling of said casing while another end thereof is mounted on a pusher spring holder which is provided at a bottom of said pusher button,
- a locking latch downwardly protruding from a top end of said pusher button facing said gas emitting nozzle, and
- a pair of safety guiders, each having a predetermined height, inwardly protruded from said two inner sides of said supporting walls respectively in such a manner that each of said two trigger protrusions is normally sat on said respective safety groove in a location of an upper and inner side of said respective safety guider.
