ABSTRACT:
A cigar lighter plug includes a slider therein slidable between first and second positions. At a first position of the slider, a contact spring is urged outward to a first radial position suitable for fitting the plug into a small size cigar lighter socket. At a second position of the slider, the contact spring is urged outward to a second radial position suitable for fitting the plug into a large size cigar lighter socket. In one embodiment, cooperation between a boss and depressions produces a click feel and sound to inform the user that an adjustment operation is completed. In another embodiment, a retention spring, generally similar to the contact spring, is moved to first and second radial positions during adjustment of the radial position of the contact spring.
