ABSTRACT:
A lighter is described which includes a fuel compartment and a flame generating portion attached to the fuel compartment. The flame generating portion includes at least one catch tab and at least one fuel lever stopping device. Catch tabs may be provided on rails which are mounted on a surface of the flame generating portion, or they may be provided as inwardly folded flanges on a cap. A special fuel lever is provided in accordance with the invention to allow the release of fuel. The fuel lever includes flanges which engages with the catch tab of the flame generating portion. A finger pad disposed at one end of the fuel lever includes a notch which engages with the stopping device of the fuel generating portion. The lighter is movable between a default position and a pre-actuation position. In the default position, the stopping device is arranged to engage the finger pad at a position away from the notch. In the pre-actuation position, the stopping device is arranged adjacent the notch in the finger pad such that when the fuel lever is depressed, the stopping device is received in the notch. In a second embodiment of the invention, the fuel lever includes a side wheel arresting device that extends from a surface of a prong on the fuel lever. The side wheel arresting device is arranged to prevent the flintwheel from rotating when the lighter is in the default position, thereby preventing sparking.
