ABSTRACT:
An aroma-generating cigarette lighter insertable into a dashboard socket having terminals connected to the vehicle battery. The lighter includes a cylindrical case that fits into the socket. Telescoped within the case is a spring-biased hollow plunger that has a heater unit attached to its front end and a center bore at its rear end. When the lighter is inactive, the heater unit lies within the case; but when the lighter is activated by pressing in the plunger, the heater unit is advanced from the case and its contacts then engage the socket terminals to effect energization of the unit. A hollow cylindrical cartridge whose diameter is less than the internal diameter of the case is coupled to the rear end of the plunger, the front end of the cartridge being provided with a hollow plug that is threadably received in the end bore of the plunger. Supported within the cartridge is a porous wafer impregnated with a volatile liquid fragrance. A thermally conductive rod is secured to the center of the heater unit and extends through the hollow plug into the hollow cartridge to supply heat to the wafer to promote volatilization of the liquid, thereby producing an aromatic vapor that is discharged into the atmosphere.
