Abstract: Igniters, igniters with adjustable wicks, and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are disclosed. The igniters may include a housing, at least one battery, an ignition assembly, and a wick. The ignition assembly may include a pivot-mechanism having a first pivoting-element, a second pivoting-element, and a pivot-hinge assembly through which the first pivoting-element and the second pivoting-element are rotatably coupled. The ignition assembly can be operated to pivot the first pivoting-element and the second pivoting-element in opposite directions. The ignition assembly may include electrical contacts that can be shifted into contact to complete a circuit, thereby sending an electrical current through an igniter tip used to ignite the wick. In additional aspects, the wick is a hemp wick, and the housing may be formed of biodegradable or recyclable materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cigarette lighter having a fuel reservoir configured to contain a combustible fuel. The cigarette lighter includes a pre-mixing burner flame generating unit configured to mix the combustible fuel with air and contain a flame. The cigarette lighter includes a valve in fluidic communication with the fuel reservoir and the pre-mixing burner flame generating unit and configured to facilitate the combustible fuel to enter the pre-mixing burner flame generating unit when the valve is actuated. The cigarette lighter includes a bracket configured to actuate the valve when a force is applied by a user and includes a friction wheel assembly in mechanical communication with the bracket and configured to rotate about an axis. The cigarette lighter includes a flint in mechanical communication with the friction wheel assembly and configured to emit spark when the friction wheel assembly is rotated about the axis by a user.

Abstract: A disposable lighter having a surface comprised of different elevations and different materials, which permit blind or sight-impaired users to know the proper orientation to use the lighter by feel alone and also improve gripping of the lighter.

Abstract: A filter structure for an ignitor is provided, in which a flame length is kept uniform by ensuring constant gas permeability and ease of assembly of the filter is achieved. When causing ejection and combustion of fuel gas, which is contained in a tank chamber (24), out of a discharge nozzle (3) via a filter (71) which serves to keep the gas passage rate flowing therethrough constant and a valve mechanism (4) for starting and stopping feeding of the gas, the filter (71) is made of a membrane film (71a), which has pores and serves to keep the passage rate of the gas flowing therethrough constant; and a permeable porous body (71b) placed on the membrane film. A filter component (7) for affixing the filter (71) to the holder (72) is assembled on the upstream side of the valve mechanism (4).
