Abstract
A lighter includes a liquid gas container having an inside formed with a receiving space, a press member pivotally mounted on the liquid gas container, and a control member movably mounted in the receiving chamber of the press member. Thus, the slide knob has to proceed a substantially L-shaped movement to trigger the igniter and to light the lighter, so that the lighter cannot be operated easily and unintentionally, thereby providing a double safety effect. In addition, the control member is integrally formed with the slide knob and the locking flange, so that the slide knob co-operates with the locking flange to perform the locking and unlocking actions conveniently and actually, thereby enhancing operation of the safety switch structure of the lighter.

A lighter, comprising:
- a liquid gas container having an inside formed with a receiving space;
- a press member pivotally mounted on the liquid gas container, and having a first side pivotally mounted in the receiving space of the liquid gas container and a second side having a bottom formed with a locking hole, the press member having a top formed with a receiving chamber which has an inner wall provided with a guide rail;
- and
- a control member mounted in the receiving chamber of the press member and including a guide plate slidably mounted on the guide rail of the receiving chamber of the press member, the control member including a leg portion integrally formed on a bottom of the guide plate, the leg portion of the control member having a bottom formed with a protruding locking flange which is locked in the locking hole of the press member and is rested on a top edge of the receiving space of the liquid gas container, the locking flange of the control member having a top rested on a wall of the locking hole of the press member and a bottom rested on the top edge of the receiving space of the liquid gas container, so that the press member is locked on the top edge of the receiving space of the liquid gas container by the locking flange of the control member;
- wherein, the locking flange of the control member and the locking hole of the press member form a first-stage safety switch structure.
