ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of lighters, and more particularly lighters designed to generate a flame of controlled color.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Examples of work undertaken in the past in this field can be found in document WO 95/15464.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to propose a novel means enabling the performance of colored-flame lighters to be improved.
A particular object of the present invention is to propose a lighter that generates a flame of durable stability.
These objects are achieved in the present invention of by means of a lighter of the type comprising a tank adapted to receive a fuel associated with flame-coloring agents, expander means suitable for expanding the fuel, means suitable for conveying the fuel to the expander means, and means suitable for igniting the fuel downstream from the expander means, the lighter being characterized by the fact that the expander means are formed by an element that is hydrophobic, organophobic, and inorganophobic.
