Abstract:
1. A gas lighter with safety mechanism comprising: an inner frame mounted on top of a fuel reservoir containing combustible fuel and provided with a valve for releasing the fuel contained in the fuel reservoir; an outer frame mounted on top of the inner frame and having two supports separately extended upwards from opposite sides of the outer frame and aligned with each other, in which each of the supports is provided with a L-shaped supporting hole including a vertical section and a horizontal section, the vertical section extends upwards from one end of the horizontal section, which is nearer to the valve than an other end of the horizontal section, and the L-shaped supporting hole is oriented with respect to the inner frame so that the horizontal section is closest to the inner frame; a lever sandwiched between the two supports and pivotable with respect to the outer frame to actuate the valve; a flint disposed between the two supports, in which the flint is aligned with the horizontal sections of the L-shaped supporting holes and biased from the vertical sections thereof; a friction wheel rotatably sleeved on a shaft between the two supports, in which opposite ends of the shaft are movably supported in the L-shaped supporting holes of the supports, the friction wheel is separate from the flint when the shaft is moved down the vertical sections of the L-shaped supporting holes, and the friction wheel contacts the flint to enable to generate sparks by rotating the friction wheel when the shaft is moved along the horizontal sections of the L-shaped supporting holes.
