ABSTRACT:
A cover, removably mounted in a recess at one end of a cigarette lighter body, permits access to lighter service points within the recess. The cover includes an integral member formed of a plastics material and having a plate-like body consisting of a first section hinged to a second section by a reduced thickness section of the body. Projections extend from the first section of the body for releasably holding it within the recess. A hollow cylindrical spigot extends from the second section and is secured into the recess by a bayonet-like connection. By lifting the first section out of the recess it can be displaced angularly about its hinged connection to the second section and access can be obtained to the part of the recess covered by the first section. If necessary, the second section can be removed by twisting the plate-like body to open the bayonet-like connection with the lighter body. A spring is fitted into the spigot on the second section for biasing a lighter part, such as a battery, to the lighter.
