ABSTRACT:
A portable lighter, or particularly a lighter with a safety device is disclosed, in which safety is ensured by using a separate locking device. While a lighter is convenient, the conventional lighter broods the danger that, if it is accidentally lighted, or if a child plays with it, a hellish catastrophe can occur. The present invention is intended to overcome the above described disadvantages of the conventional technique. Therefore it is the object of the present invention to provide a lighter with a safety device, in which the lighter is locked after each use, so that unexpected disaster can be prevented. In achieving the above object, the lighter according to the present invention is characterized in that a pressing button for activating a piezo electric device is prevented from being activated by a locking section, the locking section being for temporarily locking an igniting section. The locking section is activated by the pressing button and a locking member. At the rear of the pressing button, there are formed a sliding slot and an engagement step. The locking member which is related to the sliding slot and the engagement step is provided with a sliding piece and an elastic piece. The locking member includes an inner plate and an outer plate, and the inner plate includes a sliding piece and an elastic piece in an integral form, while the outer plate is exposed to the outside of the lighter, thereby forming a handle.
