ABSTRACT:
A safety mechanism, for a lighter having a striker and a flint for creating sparks and/or a lever for releasing compressed flammable gas adjacent the striker and flint, including a spring for biasing the striker and flint apart when the lighter is not in use and means for selectively urging the striker and flint together to facilitate a spark. The safety mechanism may further include a pivotal stop member which typically secures the lever in a non-releasing position until selectively pivoted therefrom by the operator.
