ABSTRACT:
A gas lighter provides a power source for a curling device, such as a curling iron or styling wand. The lighter is positioned and releasably retained in the hollow handle, in a first position. When the gas lighter is inserted further into the hollow handle in a second position, a valve actuating lever of the gas lighter is depressed to initiate fuel flow. Concomitantly, a flint wheel of the gas lighter is engaged and turned to cause the fuel to ignite. The lighter is held in place by a gripping position of a bi-metal member. When the temperature of a barrel of the curling device exceeds a predetermined amount, the gripping portion of the bi-metal member releases its hold on the gas lighter, and the lighter is allowed to return to the first position. In a preferred embodiment, the curling device is provided with a hair clip, which when raised from a hair winding portion of the barrel, trips the bi-metal member to release the gas lighter from the second position.
