ABSTRACT:
A piezoelectric gas lighter has an actuator cap which is mounted on an upper part of a lighter body to be movable up and down between upper and lower positions relative to the lighter body and is urged to the upper position. The actuator cap is depressed toward the lower position to discharge fuel gas stored in a reservoir provided in the lighter body and to actuate an ignition mechanism to ignite the fuel gas. A safety device for the piezoelectric gas lighter includes a projection which is provided on said upper part of the lighter body, a stopper member which is mounted on said actuator cap so that it can be movable relative to the actuator cap along a linear path between a locking position where a part of the stopper member is aligned with the projection and interferes with the projection to prevent downward movement of the actuator cap and a releasing position where said part of the stopper member is out of alignment with said projection and permits downward movement of the actuator cap and so that the actuator cap can be depressed by pushing downward the stopper member, and a spring which urges the stopper member to the locking position. The projection has a vertical surface which extends downward facing toward the releasing position of the stopper member and the vertical surface holds the stopper member in the releasing position when the actuator cap is below said upper position.
