ABSTRACT:
A single piece clip has two arms that together hold a lighter, and one arm serves as a bottle opener. The inside arm is parallel and spaced apart from the outside arm and both arms join at a common shoulder. The inside arm widens down from the shoulder into a loop bottle opener while the outside arm extends away from the shoulder into a pointed tongue with a loop for a key ring. The outside arm has a pair of flanking flanges spaced apart to receive a disposable lighter. The shoulder and spaced apart arms allows the clip to fit upon a belt with the outside arm outward and the inside arm between the belt and the trousers. The clip has a compact form that fits comfortably upon a person.
