ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a cigarette lighter including a tank for a pressurized combustible gas; a normally closed feed valve having a nozzle outlet, the valve being connected to the tank for preventing exit of the gas from the tank and being openable in response to external force for feeding the gas for combustion thereof; a base fixedly supported relative to the valve; an actuator movably supported relative to the base for opening the valve, the actuator transmitting the external force when opening the valve, the gas being ignited when fed from the tank when the valve is engaged and opened by the actuator; and a safety device movable and operable from a normal position for holding the actuator disengaged from the valve to a released position for enabling the actuator to engage and open the valve. The safety device includes a body rotatably supported relative to the base between first and second angular positions, an engagement portion shifting the actuator between a first path in the released position of the safety device for actuating the valve in the first angular position, and a second path in the normal position of the safety device in the second angular position. A handle moves the body to the second angular position. The safety device is automatically returned to the normal position whereby the actuator is prevented from engaging the valve after use of the lighter.
