Patent ID: 11739934

Abstract:
A lighter includes a housing having a liquefied gas storage and a gas emission unit for controlling a flow of gas. The gas emission unit includes a gas emitting nozzle extended from the liquefied gas storage, a piezoelectric unit disposed in the lighter housing for generating sparks when the piezoelectric unit is depressed, and a lighter cap slidably coupled on top of the lighter housing at a position above the piezoelectric unit and being limited to move between a non-ignition position and an ignition position. The the lighter cap has a depressible surface that an exit opening of the gas emitting nozzle is slidingly extended to embed in the lighter cap so as to protect the exit opening of the gas emitting nozzle at the non-ignition position. When the lighter cap is depressed, the piezoelectric unit is depressed and the gas emission unit is actuated at the same time for releasing the gas to be ignited by the sparks so as to produce a flame at the exit opening of the gas emitting nozzle.
