ABSTRACT:
The invention refers to a lighter which has a main body (1) and a cap (2); the main body (1) defines, in its upper part a tubular extension (12) to which is fixed an annular stone (5) and in its lower part a gas reservoir (11) equipped with a valve (3) with the corresponding burner (4). On the burner (4) an annular rasp (6) is mounted which is moveable and to which there is an associated bracket (8), and a spring (9) which pushes the afore-mentioned bracket (8) towards the upper part of the main body. The bracket (8) has lateral arms which protrude from the extension (12) through windows (13) and are located in cut-outs (24) defined in the interior of the cap (2). The recession of the cap (2) determines the action of a lever (10) which opens the gas valve (3) and the striking of the rasp (6) against the stone (5).
