Abstract: Liquated gas lighter with non-adjustable flame height, comprising a gas reservoir, a burner and a gas flow limiting device consisting of a microporous membrane gripped between a first seating body and a second seating body. First seating body has a through hole that comes out on one side directly into microporous membrane and on the other side into reservoir. Second seating body has a seating surface in contact with membrane, a groove formed in seating surface, an outlet duct and a linking passage between groove and outlet duct. Through hole is facing, at least partially and through microporous membrane, groove.

Abstract: Pocket lighter with a child resistance mechanism, of the type comprising a liquated gas reservoir, a combustion chamber, a valve connecting liquated gas reservoir to combustion chamber, a lever that activates valve, a flint, a toothed wheel mounted in rotation around an axis and which rubs against said flint and at least one thumb wheel coaxial with axis and integral with toothed wheel. Thumb wheel has on its periphery a plurality of radial projections alternated with seating areas with respect to which said radial projections project. There are between three and ten radial projections, and they are free from any contact with any other element of the lighter.

Abstract: Liquated gas lighter with non-adjustable flame height, comprising a gas reservoir (12), a burner (1) and a gas flow limiting device consisting of a microporous membrane (2) gripped between a first seating body (3) and a second seating body (4). First seating body (3) has a through hole (17) that comes out on one side directly into microporous membrane (2) and on the other side into reservoir (12). Second seating body (4) has a seating surface (22) in contact with membrane (2), a groove (6) formed in seating surface (22), an outlet duct (7) and a linking passage (18) between groove (6) and outlet duct (7). Through hole (17) is facing, at least partially and through microporous membrane (2), groove (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a pocket lighter of the type that comprises a fuel container (1), a valve (2), which regulates the opening and closing of said container, a pyrophoric flint (6), a revolving toothed wheel (8), which can produce sparks that are directed towards the valve (2), spring means (7), which exert a force that applies the flint against the toothed wheel, and two disks (10) having end journals (12) that move in respective housings (13). The inventive lighter is characterised in that, in addition to acting as the force transmission element between the finger and the wheel (8), the disks (10) also serve as a rotor for a braking device in which the stator is formed by an element (15) that rubs against said rotor. More specifically, the stator of the braking device comprises a spring (15) which acts on a smooth surface of the rotor (10) in a radial or tangential direction. The spring (15) may form part of the actual structure of the button (14) or it may be independent of said button.

Abstract: A portable lighter suitable for reaching a state of ignition. The lighter having a lighting mechanism activatable by a single movement of an operator's finger, which finger has a resistance to deformation. The lighting mechanism includes a first actuator movable between a first position and a second position, and a second actuator movable between a third position and a fourth position. The second position and the fourth position define a relative position between the first actuator and the second actuator. The actuators are arranged so that when the first actuator is moved by the single finger movement from the first position to the second position the finger also moves the second actuator from the third position to the fourth position. The relative position is variable according to the fingers resistance to deformation and the lighter reaches the state of ignition only for certain preset values of the relative position.

Abstract: A pocket lighter in which the spark wheel which may produce sparks on rotating in a first direction and rubbing on the pyrophoric stone, apart from being rotatable, is movable between a first position in which it is blocked from rotating in the first direction, and a second position in which it may rotate in said first direction, producing sparks directed towards the valve. The wheel is urged towards said first position when being actuated to rotate in said first direction and to pass to said second position, said wheel should first be rotated in a direction opposite to said first direction. Preferably the positions of the spark wheel are associated with the positions of the end stubs of the shaft thereof in some housings.

Abstract: A pocket lighter having a safety mechanism, with a push button; a cavity in which part of the push button is housed; and a free body in the cavity, between the latter and the push button, and depending on the position of the push button there are defined spaces which may be occupied by the said free body, and passages between said spaces, through which the free body may pass. The latter, after the lighter has been ignited, occupies a first space in which it blocks operation of the push button and to remove it from the first space it is necessary to combine certain movements of the push button with others of the lighter; these movements are of sufficient complexity to make it impossible for a child to operate the lighter.

Abstract: A liquefied gas kitchen lighter in which the actuating means of the valve of the gas reservoir comprises a straight tubular member coaxial with straight container tube. The latter contains the piezo-electric generator and part of a burner, there being formed a generally straight route for the gas flow from the reservoir to the burner. The actuating means at the same time actuates the generator and provide the necessary electrical connections.

Abstract: A refill device for a gas operated lighter, which refill device includes a gas container with an outlet valve; a separable cover fitted on the container over the valve; various separate compartments in the cover and each compartment containing a respective outlet valve adapter for different size and style inlet valves on different lighters; the adapter containing cover having a cap thereover rotatable with respect thereto and having an access aperture therethrough for access to each adapter in turn.
