ABSTRACT:
The knob of a handpiece for use in a push-pull type electric lighter is provided with an increased diameter portion positioned in closer proximity to the ignition end than the handle portion of the knob. At least one O-ring or like seal is mounted around the periphery of the increased diameter portion of the knob. The outer end of the socket which protrudes through an aperture in a panel, and the portion of the handpiece extending out from the socket when fitted into the socket are encased (except for the handle portion of the knob) in a hollow open-ended tubular housing mounted on the face of the panel. The O-ring of the handpiece is adapted to engage the interior wall of the tubular housing and form a water-tight, slidable seal therewith yet permit the handpiece to be pushed into and be pulled from the socket by means of the handle portion of the knob. The portions of the socket extending to the rear of the panel may be, and preferably are, encased by another housing. A fastening system is described enabling the one or both of the housing members to be secured to the panel by the same means that secure the socket to the panel.
