ABSTRACT:
A single-action ultra-thin cigarette lighter in a card-like format having a taper terminating in a blade-shaped bottom edge making it possible to wedge the lighter between the corresponding faces of the inner and outer wrappers of a standard crushable cigarette pack to serve as a stiffener therefor without significant deformation of the pack. The lighter includes a narrow reservoir for liquefied gas having front and rear walls whose width approaches that of the wrapper faces and whose length is somewhat shorter, the walls being inclined to form the taper. Mounted on top of the reservoir to seal the liquefied gas therein is a similarly narrow lighter assembly that includes a spark generator, a valve having an inlet extending into the reservoir below, and a movable hollow stem which is normally held in a closed position. A push-button operated actuator, when pressed in by the user, raises the stem to open the valve and thereby release gas therefrom, and at the same time actuates the generator to produce a spark which ignites the gas.
