Abstract:
A dual-action piezoelectric lighter, comprising:a casing receiving a liquefied gas storage and an ignition cavity provided therein; a gas emitting nozzle disposed in said casing and communicating with said liquefied gas storage for controlling a flow of gas; a piezoelectric unit disposed in said casing for generating piezoelectricity; and a dual-action safety arrangement, which comprises: an axle holder provided at an inner side of said casing; and an ignition cap, which is slidably mounted on a ceiling of said casing in a radially movable manner about an operation axle held at said axle holder, comprising a depressing arm extended into said ignition cavity to rest on top of said piezoelectric unit, wherein said ignition cap is capable of moving to a gas releasing position that said ignition cap is radially and rearwardly slid to actuate said gas emitting nozzle for releasing said gas from said liquefied gas storage while said ignition cap is capable of being simultaneously depressed to depress a movable operating part of said piezoelectric unit to generate sparks to ignite said gas emitted from said gas emitting nozzle so as to ignite said piezoelectric lighter.
