Abstract: A flame producing assembly includes a pocket lighter, an extended wand, a rigid support, and a helical spring. The pocket lighter extends along a longitudinal axis and defines a length. The pocket lighter includes a piezoelectric ignition device operable to produce an electric charge. The extended wand is electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device. The rigid support is disposed inside the extended wand and includes a longitudinal inner opening. The helical spring extends along the longitudinal inner opening and protrudes beyond a free end of the rigid support. The free end is opposite a connecting end that is proximate to the pocket lighter.

Abstract: A flame producing assembly including a pocket lighter and a sub-unit assembly. The sub-unit assembly includes an extended wand, a rigid support and a helical spring. The pocket lighter is connected to the sub-unit assembly. The pocket lighter includes a piezoelectric ignition device. The rigid support is located inside the extended wand and includes a longitudinal inner opening. The extended wand is electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device, wherein the pocket lighter is connected directly to the sub-unit assembly and wherein the helical spring extends along the longitudinal inner opening.

Abstract: A flame producing assembly includes a body housing a piezoelectric ignition device, an extended wand extending longitudinally from the body and electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device, and a helical spring extending longitudinally within the extended wand. The piezoelectric ignition device is operable to produce an electric charge. The helical spring includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The second end portion is a diffuser.

Abstract: A gas lighter that includes a valve that connects to a nozzle, a lever for controlling the opening of the valve, a piezoelectric system that includes a first and second electrode, where the first electrode is arranged downstream and on the side in relation to the nozzle, and a control member adapted to drive the opening of the valve and the creation of an electric arc when it is actuated. The second electrode is formed by a projection integral with the lever, the projection being made of electrically-conductive material. The top of the projection is arranged downstream of the nozzle and is substantially opposite the first electrode in relation to the central axis (Z) of the nozzle during the actuation of the control member in order to be at a distance from the first electrode.

Abstract: A piezoelectric ignition mechanism includes first and second body members, a piezoelectric element associated with one of the body members, a plexor member associated with one of the body members, and an engagement portion associated with one of the body members. When the body members are in a first position, the plexor member is releasably retained at a distance from the piezoelectric element, and upon movement of the body members toward a second position, the plexor member is released and driven to impact the piezoelectric element. The engagement portion may be configured and dimensioned to provide resistance against movement of the body members toward the second position.
