ABSTRACT:
A lighter has a body forming a reservoir holding a supply of a flammable gas under pressure, a valve on the body openable to allow the gas to escape from the reservoir as a jet extending along an axis and normally urged open by the pressure of the gas, and an igniter on the body for lighting the jet. An operating lever pivoted on the body about an axis orthogonal to the jet axis has a front end normally bearing axially downward on the valve and a rear end and is formed as front and rear segments joined only by a central elastic web permitting the segments to move limitedly elastically relative to each other. Stops limit relative movement of the lever segments. A spring braced between the body and the lever rear end rotationally biases the lever front end downward on the valve with a predetermined first force greater than the force exerted oppositely on the valve by the gas. The web forces the front segment downward on the valve with an axial downward force smaller than the first force of the first spring and greater than the opposite gas force.
