ABSTRACT:
A safety device for use in a gas lighter. An actuating member provided on top of a lighter body is supported in a pivotal fashion by a leg downwardly extending therefrom. The leg is also provided with a lock member. A circular-arc-shaped guide groove and a recessed groove at the center-side end of the guide groove are formed along the upper end of one of the tank side surfaces. The lock member has a base portion which travels along a regulation groove (24) in a restricted manner, a stopper which is connected to an upper part of the base portion and is engageable with the recessed groove, a finger grip which permits a lock release operation and causes the stopper fitted into the recessed groove to be engaged with the guide groove, and a spring member for urging the base portion toward the center of the lighter body and holding the lock member in a locked position and an unlocked position. These elements of the lock member are formed into one assembly. Fitting of the stopper into the recessed groove deters the pivotal movement of the actuating member. Disengagement of the stopper from the recessed groove permits pivotal movement of the actuating member, and the lock member is displaced to a lockable position upon coming into contact with the end face of the guide groove. The spring member is in a coiled shape, but may be formed into a U-shaped, V-shaped, or bow-shaped pattern.
