Patent ID: 7748978

Claim:
A piezoelectric lighter, comprising: a lighter housing comprising a supporting frame and having a fuel storage chamber for storing liquefied gas therewithin; a gas releasing valve communicating said fuel storage chamber for releasing said gas in a controllable manner; and a dual ignition arrangement, adapted for generating two flames, which comprises: first and second nozzles spacedly supported at said supporting frame of said lighter housing, wherein said first and second nozzles are communicatively extended from said gas releasing valve for emitting said gas through said first and second nozzles; first and second piezoelectric units spacedly received in said lighter housing, wherein said first piezoelectric unit comprises a first depressible part and a first spark generation tip extending towards said first ignition nozzle for igniting said gas thereat to produce said first flame, wherein said second piezoelectric unit comprises a second depressible part and a second spark generation tip extending towards said second ignition nozzle for igniting said gas thereat to producing said second flame; first and second actuators spacedly and movably mounted on said lighter housing, wherein said first actuator is supported on top of said first piezoelectric unit to depress said first depressible part thereof for producing said first flame, wherein said second actuator is supported on top of said second piezoelectric unit to depress said second depressible part thereof for producing said second flame, such that said lighter is adapted for selectively producing said first and second flames via said first and second actuators respectively, wherein said second actuator, having a flame outlet aligning with an opening of said first nozzle, is pivotally mounted on said supporting frame in a radially movable manner to depress said second piezoelectric unit so as to produce said second flame when said second actuator is radially and pivotally depressed, wherein said first actuator is slidably mounted on said supporting frame in a vertically movable manner to depress said first piezoelectric unit so as to produce said first flame through said flame outlet when said first actuator is downwardly depressed, such that said second actuator forms a flame windshield when said second actuator is depressed to produce said second flame; and means for communicating said gas releasing valve with said first and said second actuator in such a manner when one of said first and said second actuator is actuated, said gas releasing valve is arranged to release said gas for igniting one of said first flame and said second flame.
