ABSTRACT:
A safety mechanism for lighters includes a lighter body having a safety lever that is actuated from outside the body by acting upon a tongue passing through a L-shaped window in the body. The safety lever, which is mounted as a torsion spring, normally occupies a position in the L-shaped window with the tongue at the end of the horizontal leg of the window. In that position, the pushbutton and the upper edge of the safety lever are in substantial abutment and operation of the lighter is not possible. When the tongue is moved to the other end of the L-shaped window, the tongue is in alignment with a recess provided in the pushbutton such that the pushbutton is free to move. After lighting is accomplished and the pushbutton is released, the tongue recovers automatically to the safety position.
