ABSTRACT:
A hypergolic substance which is spontaneously ignited upon being exposed to the atmosphere ignites the fuel issuing from the nozzle of a cigarette lighter. The hypergolic substance is either mixed with the fuel in a fuel tank or is separately contained within the lighter body. Dispensing of at least the hypergolic substance is controlled by a positive and conscious physical act of the user employing a lever mounted within the lighter body or direct finger pressure on a valve. A mechanical interlock additionally prevents accidental or casual release of the hypergolic substance. The mechanical interlock holds the lever or valve immobile until the cap is opened.
