Combination cigarette lighter and perfume dispenser

A combination cigarette lighter and perfume dispenser is provided and consists of a cigarette lighting mechanism carried by a casing, a reservoir in the casing adapted to hold a supply of perfume and a pump mechanism for dispensing the perfume from the reservoir and including a discharge orifice in the casing to discharge the perfume therefrom.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
1. Field of Invention 
The instant invention relates generally to cigarette lighters and more 
specifically it relates to a combination cigarette lighter and perfume 
dispenser which can be carried in a woman's handbag or a pants pocket. 
2. Description of the Prior Art 
Numerous cigarette lighters have been provided in prior art that are 
adapted to perform other functions. For example U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,434,825 
and 2,521,630 are illustrative of such prior art. While these units may be 
suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they would not 
be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore 
described. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
A principle object of the present invention is to provide a combination 
cigarette lighter and perfume dispenser that is compact in size and can be 
carried easily within a woman's handbag or a pants pocket. 
Another object is to provide a combination cigarette lighter and perfume 
dispenser that is durable and leak proof so that it can be used for a long 
period of time. 
An additional object is to provide a combination cigarette lighter and 
perfume dispenser that further contains a compartment for holding a supply 
of pills or the like. 
A further object is to provide a combination cigarette lighter and perfume 
dispenser that is simple and easy to use. 
A still further object is to provide a combination cigarette lighter and 
perfume dispenser that is economical in cost to manufacture. 
Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds. 
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may 
be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, 
attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are 
illustrative only, and that changes may be made in the specific 
construction illustrated and described within the scope of the appended 
claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference 
characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIGS. 1 
through 3 illustrates a combination cigarette lighter and perfume 
dispenser 10 that consists of a casing 12, a cigarette lighting mechanism 
22 for igniting and sustaining an open flame carried by the casing 12, a 
reservoir 32 in the casing 12 adapted to hold a supply of perfume 29 and 
pump mechanism 27 for dispensing the perfume 29 from the reservoir 32. The 
pump mechanism 27 includes a discharge orifice 39 in the casing 12 to 
discharge the perfume 29 therefrom. 
The pump mechanism 27 consists of an elongated pipe 23, a valve 36 and a 
push button 35. The elongated pipe 23 extends from within the reservoir 32 
to the discharge orifice 39. The valve 36 is located on the pipe 23 
between the reservoir 32 and the discharge orifice 39. The push button 35 
in recess 31 in casing 12 is spring loaded by spring 38 while the valve 36 
is also spring loaded by spring 37 so that the push button 35 can manually 
activate the valve 36 for dispensing the perfume 29. 
The invention 10 further contains a compartment 26 in the casing 12 that 
has a door 28. The compartment 26 is adapted to hold a supply of pills 30 
or the like. 
As best seen in FIG. 3 the casing 12 has a dividing wall 14 to separate the 
perfume reservoir 32 from a butane reservoir 18. The butane reservoir 18 
has a valve 16 at the bottom of the casing 12 for refilling and a fuel 
line 20 connected to the cigarette lighting mechanism 22. A flip up 
lighter cap 24 with hinge 25 is connected to top of the casing 12 to cover 
the cigarette lighting mechanism 22 for protection when not in use. A cap 
34 having a finger grip 33 is also provided so that the perfume reservoir 
32 can be replaced when needed. 
FIGS. 4 and 5 show a first modification 10 of the invention wherein the 
cigarette lighting mechanism 22' is either electronic or a flint type and 
the casing 12' and cap 24' is narrower than the casing 12 and cap 24 in 
FIG. 1. A valve 16' is also at the bottom of the casing 12 for refilling 
and a channel 21 is provided to hold the flint. The discharge orifice 39 
and the push button 35 are in reversed positions from the ones shown in 
FIG. 1 but function in the same way. 
FIGS. 6 through 8 show a second modification 40 of the invention wherein 
the cigarette lighter 42 is separate from the perfume dispenser 44. The 
lighter 42 is piggy backed and pivotally connected off center to the 
dispenser 44 by a pivot pin 48. 
The dispenser 44 consists of a housing 50 that has a spray hole 51 on the 
side, a detent 46 on end 56 of the housing 50 opposite the pivot pin 48 to 
hold the dispenser 44 in alignment with the lighter 42 and a recess 53 on 
free end 55 of the housing 50 to hold a pump head 52 for manually 
dispensing the perfume 62 from the housing 50 through the spray hole 51. 
As best seen in FIG. 8 the housing 50 has a hollow chamber 60 to hold the 
liquid perfume 62. A removable cap 54 is threaded into hole 58 in end 56 
of the housing 50 so that when the dispenser 44 is pivoted to an open 
position 47, as shown dotted in FIG. 6 the cap 54 can be removed. A liquid 
perfume refill bottle 64 is now used to refill the hollow chamber 60 with 
perfume 62. 
FIG. 9 shows a second type of perfume dispenser 44'. The housing 50' has a 
narrow hollow chamber 60' to hold a cartridge 66 having perfume 62 within. 
The removable cap 54 is threaded into hole 53' in end 56' of the housing 
50' whereby the cap 54 can be removed to replace the cartridge 66 with a 
new cartridge 68 shown in dot-dash lines. 
FIG. 10 shows a third type of perfume dispenser 44". The housing 50" has a 
hollow chamber 60" to hold the perfume 62 within is sealed at end 56" so 
that when the perfume 62 is used up the housing 50" can be disposed of in 
the usual manner. 
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and 
described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood 
that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details 
of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those 
skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
