ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a lighter operating aid for a gas-fueled lighter. The lighter includes a body with a fuel tank therein, an igniting mechanism including a thumb lever which controls a supply of fuel from the fuel tank, and a safety device which is movable between a first position allowing operation of the thumb lever and a second position preventing operation of the thumb lever. The lighter operating aid includes a sleeve for at least partially surrounding and engaging the body of the lighter, and a protuberance which extends from the sleeve. The protuberance is structured and arranged to maintain the safety device in the first position allowing operation of the thumb lever when the sleeve engages the lighter.
