Abstract: A table lighter device is disclosed which comprises a base member having pocket lighter supporting means for supporting and retaining a generally elongated pocket lighter in a releasably secure upstanding fashion. Such table lighter device embodies a weighted member positionable about the lighter supporting means adjacent the bottom thereof. A housing is positioned in upstanding relation with respect to the base member and has at the lower end portion thereof, means for facilitating securement thereof to the base member. The housing defines an upper end portion having an opening generally dimensioned and configured to receive the pocket lighter and generally vertically aligned with the pocket lighter supporting means and is dimensioned and configured to removably receive and snugly support the pocket lighter while operative elements of the pocket lighter are exposed at the upper end portion of the housing to form an operative table lighter.

Abstract: A transporter apparatus for movement of plastic blister members to a conveyor for processing, i.e., for receiving an article in a pocket of the same and a backing card for closing the pocket opening and enclosing the article therein, includes a frame for supporting an assembly having a carriage movable in the vertical direction and a plurality of transfer rods supported by the carriage. The transfer rods are disposed in a horizontal attitude and divergent outwardly from a pick-up zone of blister members to the conveyor. Transfer devices including structure for "gripping" the blister members are supported by the transfer rods. The transfer devices are connected to a pair of transfer arms and driven along the transfer rods as the transfer arms are themselves driven. A drive mechanism including mechanical actuators impart movement to both the carriage and the transfer devices upon control signals to the drive mechanism.

Abstract: A lighter of the disposable type is disclosed for burning a fuel such as butane contained in a body member which defines an internal fuel chamber having an opening through which the fuel may pass and including a dual action valve which controls the flow of gaseous butane fuel to a burner in either of two modes. The first mode includes an "on/off" fuel control lever; the second mode includes a variable fuel flow control member which determines the height of the flame produced at an output orifice of a burner by a sparking wheel and sparking flint by controlling the amount of fuel passed therethrough as a function of the rotational position of a rotatable control member. The lighter further comprises novel means to pre-determine the height range of the flame thus produced, by limiting the rotational range of travel of the flame height control member.
