BACKGROUND 
     1. Field of Invention 
     The present invention relates to a lighter that is commonly used to light cigarette and cigars. The lighter of the present invention produces multiple visible flames that are aesthetically pleasing, functional, and wind resistant. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     A lighter is a common tool that replaces matches as a source of fire to ignite cigarettes and cigars. The lighter is easier to carry and safer than matches. The lighter is also more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, depending on the design, a lighter is generally more wind resistant than a match. 
     A lighter commonly uses a combustible gas in a liquid state as fuel. The gas is released through valves and ignited with an ignition mean such as the piezoelectric igniter. Once ignited, the visible flame produced can be used to ignite cigarettes and cigars. Generally, the flame produced is a single visible flame that is in the shape of a water droplet. The flame is susceptible to extinguishment by winds. The single flame is often difficult to aim and therefore difficult to ignite cigarettes and, particularly, cigars. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is a multi-flame lighter which comprises of a housing, an ignition mean, a fuel housing containing combustible liquid fuel, a valve, a connecting tube, an adjustable valve, a vaporizer, a mixing chamber, a nozzle, and a flame chamber. The present invention requires far fewer parts than any existing lighters that can produce multiple clearly visible flames. The manufacturing and parts cost of the present invention is much lower than the existing lighters that can produce multiple flames due to the single valve, connecting tube, single adjustable valve, single vaporizer, single mixing chamber, and single nozzle configuration. The multi-flame lighter produces multiple clearly visible flames that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The multiple visible and forceful flames are equivalent to 2 or more of the flames from a conventional lighter and are wind resistant. The multiple visible flames may be in various configurations and shapes.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     The preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.  1 . The multi-flame lighter comprises of a housing  1 , an ignition mean  3  rigidly attached to interior of said housing  1 , a fuel housing  21  enclosed within said housing  1 , a valve  22  within said fuel housing  21 , an adjustable valve  23  connected to said valve  22 , a valve actuation lever  5  pivotally connected to said adjustable valve  23  and in contact with the ignition mean  3 , a connection tube  6  that connects the adjustable valve  23  to the vaporizer  41 . A mixing chamber  42  is rigidly attached on top of the vaporizer  41 . A nozzle  43  is rigidly attached on top of the mixing chamber  42 . Surrounding the nozzle  43  is a flame chamber  44  rigidly attached to the circumference of the lower portion of the nozzle  43 . 
     The preferred embodiment of the present invention is operated by depressing the button on the ignition mean  3  whereby the combustible gas is allowed to escape from the fuel housing  21  through the valve  22  and adjustable valve  23 , through the connection tube  6 , into the vaporizer  41  wherein the fuel is vaporized, then into the mixing chamber  42  wherein the vaporized fuel is mixed with air, and finally through the channels in the nozzle  43  and ignited by the ignition mean  3  to produce multiple flames at the exit of the nozzle  43  and the flame chamber  44 . Releasing the button on the ignition mean  3  will shut off the adjustable valve  23  and stop the flow of combustible gas thereby extinguish the flames at the exit of the nozzle  43  and the flame chamber  44 . 
     FIG. 2 is a detailed enlarged view of the preferred embodiment of the nozzle  43 . The escaping combustible fuel is release through the vaporizer  41  into a mixing chamber  42 . The mixing chamber  42  has openings that allows outside air to interact with and mix with the combustible fuel in the mixing chamber  42  thereby creating a combustible air/fuel mixture. The combustible air/fuel mixture then proceeds to the nozzle  43 . The base of the nozzle  43  contains a hollow chamber. The nozzle  43  has multiple diversion channels  4311  near the base of the nozzle  43  surrounding said hollow chamber. The diversion channels  4311  will divert a small portion of the combustible air/fuel mixture to the flame chamber  44 .

     FIG. 25 is a detailed enlarged view of another embodiment of the nozzle  43 . At the base of the nozzle  43 , in the shape of a gear, are multiple diversion channels  4311  exiting through the gear channels  4312 . The diversion channels  4311  will divert a small portion of the combustible air/fuel mixture through the gear channels  4312  to the flame chamber  44 . The majority of the combustible air/fuel mixture will escape through multiple elongated channel exits  4302  to produce multiple elongated shaped flames. 
     FIG. 26 is a detailed enlarged view of another embodiment of the nozzle  43 . At the base of the nozzle  43 , in the shape of a gear, are multiple diversion channels  4311  exiting through the gear channels  4312 . The diversion channels  4311  will divert a small portion of the combustible air/fuel mixture through the gear channels  4312  to the flame chamber  44 . The majority of the combustible air/fuel mixture will escape through multiple triangular channel exits  4303  to produce multiple triangular shaped flames. 
     FIG. 27 is a detailed enlarged view of another embodiment of the nozzle  43 . At the base of the nozzle  43 , in the shape of a gear, are multiple diversion channels  4311  exiting through the gear channels  4312 . The diversion channels  4311  will divert a small portion of the combustible air/fuel mixture through the gear channels  4312  to the flame chamber  44 . The majority of the combustible air/fuel mixture will escape through an elliptical channel exit  4301  in the center with multiple semicircular channel exits  4304  around the elliptical channel exit  4301  to produce multiple semicircular shaped flames surrounding the elliptical flame in the center. 
     FIG. 28 is a detailed enlarged view of another embodiment of the nozzle  43 . At the base of the nozzle  43 , in the shape of a gear, are multiple diversion channels  4311  exiting through the gear channels  4312 . The diversion channels  4311  will divert a small portion of the combustible air/fuel mixture through the gear channels  4312  to the flame chamber  44 . The majority of the combustible air/fuel mixture will escape through an elliptical channel exit  4301  in the center of the nozzle  43  and multiple crescent channel exits  4305  to produce an elliptical shaped flame in the center surrounded by multiple crescent shaped flames. 
     Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
