Abstract:
A lighter resistant to undesired used, comprising:an elongated housing having a fuel compartment;a fuel nozzle in fluid communication with the fuel compartment adapted to selectively release fuel;an ignition device adapted to ignite the released fuel;an actuator operatively engaged with said ignition device, such that depression of said actuator from a first elevation to a second elevation actuates said ignition device; anda blocking tab adapted to prevent movement of said actuator from said first elevation to said second elevation, said blocking tab is fixedly connected to the actuator at a top end of the blocking tab and extends therefrom to form a gap at a bottom end with said actuator and said blocking tab is normally positioned in an interfering position, wherein a first blocking part on the blocking tab interferes with a second blocking part on said housing;wherein a displacement of said blocking tab across said gap to a noninterfering position, wherein said first blocking part does not interfere with said second blocking part, allows said actuator to be depressed from said first elevation to said second elevation.
