Abstract
A piezoelectric lighter includes a gas emission arrangement including a pair of jet nozzles and a gas emitting tube communicating with a liquefied gas storage respectively, a gas releasable valve extended from the liquefied gas storage for controlling a flow of gas to the gas emission arrangement, a pair of gas ejecting conduits connected from the gas releasable valve to the two jet nozzles respectively, and a gas ejecting duct connected from the gas releasable valve to the gas emitting tube. Therefore, the piezoelectric lighter is adapted for selectively producing either a pair of jet flames at the same time when the gas discharged to the two jet nozzles through the gas ejecting conduits or producing a visible flame when the gas discharged to the gas emitting tube through the gas ejecting duct.
Claims9
A piezoelectric lighter, comprises:
- a casing having a liquefied gas storage;
- a gas emission arrangement comprising a pair of jet nozzles and a gas emitting tube communicating with said liquefied gas storage respectively;
- a gas ejecting arrangement comprising a gas releasable valve extended from said liquefied gas storage for controlling a flow of gas to said gas emission arrangement, wherein said gas ejecting arrangement comprises two gas ejecting conduits connected from said gas releasable valve to said two jet nozzles and a gas ejecting duct connected from said gas releasable valve to said gas emitting tube;
- a piezoelectric unit, which is disposed in said casing for generating piezoelectricity, comprising a movable operating part extended upwardly and an ignition tip extended to a position closed to said gas emission arrangement to generate spark to ignite a gas selectively emitted from either said jet nozzles and said gas emitting tube of said gas emission arrangement when said movable operating part is depressed downwardly;
- and
- a gas regulating means for selectively detouring said gas emitted from said gas ejecting arrangement to said gas emission arrangement through said gas ejecting duct or said gas ejecting conduits, wherein said gas regulating means comprises a locking member supported in said casing and securely holding said gas ejecting duct, a depressible arm arranged to be driven downwardly towards said locking member when said movable operating part is depressed to compress said gas ejecting duct for blocking said gas passing therethrough, wherein said locking member comprises an upper elastic arm and a lower arm and said gas ejecting duct is securely held between said upper elastic arm and said lower arm, wherein when said depressible arm is driven downwardly to depress said upper elastic arm to compress said gas ejecting duct between said upper elastic arm and said lower arm to block any of said gas from passing through said gas ejecting duct;
- wherein when said movable operating part is depressed to generate said spark, said depressible arm is driven downwardly to depress said upper elastic arm to compress said gas ejecting duct between said upper elastic arm and said lower arm to block any of said gas from passing through said gas ejecting duct to said gas emitting tube, wherein said gas discharged from said gas releasable valve emits through said gas ejecting conduits and said jet nozzles so that said spark generated from said ignition tip ignites said gas emitted from said pair of jet nozzles to produce a pair of jet flames;
- wherein once the compression of said gas ejecting duct between said upper elastic arm and said lower arm is released when said movable operating part and said depressible arm is upwardly return to an original position thereof, said gas discharged from said gas releasable valve flows through said gas ejecting duct to emit through said gas emitting tube so that said gas emitted from said gas emitting tube to produce a visible flame.
