Abstract

A pipe lighter includes a lighter apparatus coupling with an inhaler apparatus. The inhaler apparatus includes a crucible unit coupled with the housing sidewall of the lighter housing and a tubular inhaling guider extended from the crucible unit, wherein the crucible unit has a substance chamber positioned adjacent to a flame opening of the lighter apparatus for retaining a smoking substance in the substance chamber, such that the lighter apparatus is actuated to produce a flame for a combustion of the smoking substance to be smoked and for an inhalation of smoked through the inhaling guider.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A lighter, comprising:

a lighter apparatus which comprises a lighter housing having a housing sidewall, a flame opening provided at said housing sidewall, and a fuel storage chamber for storing liquefied gas therewithin, an ignition unit supported within said lighter housing, a flame nozzle operatively extended from said fuel storage chamber to said flame opening for releasing said gas in a controllable manner, and an actuator which is movably supported on said lighter housing and is arranged in such a manner that when said actuator is depressed, said gas in said fuel storage chamber is released towards said flame nozzle while said ignition unit is activated for igniting said gas at said flame nozzle so as to produce a flame through said flame opening;
and
an inhaler apparatus which comprises a crucible unit coupled with said housing sidewall of said lighter housing and a tubular inhaling guider extended from said crucible unit, wherein said crucible unit has a substance chamber positioned adjacent to said flame opening of said lighter housing for retaining a smoking substance in said substance chamber, such that said lighter apparatus is actuated to produce said flame for a combustion of said smoking substance to be smoked and for an inhalation of said smoked through said inhaling guider, wherein said crucible unit has a coupling sidewall pivotally coupling with said housing sidewall of said lighter housing to enable said inhaler apparatus to pivotally move between a folded position that said flame opening is covered by said coupling sidewall of said crucible unit for preventing said flame being produced at said flame opening, and an unfolded position that said crucible unit is pivotally folded until said substance chamber thereof is positioned adjacent to said flame opening of said lighter housing, wherein said inhaling guider has a mouth-piece end, an opposed coupling end coupling with said crucible unit, and an inhaler channel extended from said coupling end to said mouth-piece end to communicate with said substance chamber for an inhalation of said smoked through said inhaling guider.
