Abstract: In a cigarette lighter including a housing containing an ignition mechanism, a cap-type member is pivotally mounted on the open end of the housing. The cap-type member includes a lug extending outwardly through an opening in the housing. The lug bears against an edge of the opening and the edge provides a fulcrum about which the lug and, in turn, the cap-type member pivot into the housing. The cap-type member is in engagement with the ignition mechanism so that it actuates the ignition mechanism when it is pivoted into the housing.
