ABSTRACT:
A gas lighter has a pistol-shaped casing that contains a gas cartridge in line with a mouthpiece which simulates a muzzle and forms a hood overhanging a striker wheel coacting with a spring-pressed flint. The striker wheel is clamped between cheeks of a reel which is eccentrically linked with a slider having an actuator in the shape of a trigger and trigger guard, the latter being articulated to a toggle joint urged by a transverse spring into a nearly straight-line position whereby a squeezing of the trigger results in an accelerating rotation of the wheel against the flint. The slider also opens a shut-off valve at the cartridge to allow the outflow of gas which is ignited by sparks from the flint hurled toward the hood.
