Abstract
A piezoelectric gas lighter in which gas is ignited by means of a spark generated by a piezoelectric device comprises a nozzle assembly including a nozzle and a nozzle cap and a lighter body. The lighter body includes a gas tank, a gas ejection lever and a piezoelectric device. The nozzle has one or more auxiliary ejection holes on the side thereof as well as a main gas ejection path so that the fuel gas flows through two paths, i.e., the main gas ejection path and the auxiliary ejection hole(s). The nozzle assembly of the present invention has a gap between the nozzle and the nozzle cap, so that a small amount of fuel gas flows through the gap to be easily ignited by a spark.
Claims15
A piezoelectric gas lighter in which piezoelectricity is generated to ignite fuel gas by a piezoelectric device in response to a movement of a switch button, the piezoelectric gas lighter comprising:
- a lighter body including a gas tank, a gas ejection lever installed on a top of the gas tank for opening a gas flow path in response to the movement of the switching button;
- and
- a nozzle assembly including a nozzle which comprises a lower part inserted in the gas tank, an upper part exposed outside the gas tank, and having one or more auxiliary gas ejection holes on a side thereof, and a main gas ejection path formed through the lower part and the upper part;
- a nozzle cap which encloses the upper part of the nozzle;
- and a gap defined between the nozzle and the nozzle cap so that the fuel gas ejected from the auxiliary gas ejection holes flows through the gap.
