ABSTRACT:
When a lighter of the present invention is not in use, push-down means is kept positioned on one end side of lift-up means and has a lower end abutting against a lighter body to set a locked state to restrict a push-down action. As the push-down means is moved along the lift-up means toward the other end thereof, the locked state is released and the position of that movement of the push-down means toward the other end of the lift-up means is maintained by its relationship with respect to the lighter body or the lift-up means. When the push-down means is then pushed down, the lift-up means is rotated to open the valve means and ignition means is activated at a same time to ignite the fuel injected through the valve means. When that downward action of the push-down means is released, the push-down means moves upward to the original state while moving toward the one end of the lift-up means returning by the urging force of an elastic member along the lift-up means. Therefore, releasing of the locked state and ignition can both be accomplished merely by manipulating a single operating member, namely, the push-down means, and after the ignition, the push-down means automatically returns to the locked state. It is therefore possible to significantly improve the operability of the lighter without deteriorating the safety function of its safety device.
