  • Patent number: 9187237
    Abstract: A prior art butane lighter fits into a hole in a hand sized case. The user can flip open a cap on the case and advance a thumbwheel which drives a wax coated hemp wick over the flame of the lighter. The user lights the lighter to ignite the hemp wick, and he then lights any object such as a pipe. The user can reverse the thumbwheel to snuff the hemp wick flame in a chute. A reel of hemp wick is encased in a lower recess of the case. A large lighter case may have a storage container for a pipe, a small lighter case for two and a quarter inch lighters would be minimized in size to eliminate a storage compartment. One embodiment provides a simple thumb advance slot to move the rope forward and backward.
