Abstract: A child safety device in a hand held lighter comprises a rotatable barrel section and a release button. The child safety device requires that a user of advanced dexterity and hand eye coordination push a trigger or release button while contemporaneously therewith rotating the barrel section. Rotation of the barrel section allows for aligning of fuel line sections so that when aligned and the trigger mechanism is depressed, the flammable substance is allowed to flow to the firing chamber at the nozzle. After each depressing and release of the trigger, the barrel section returns to its first position, and the user must re-rotate the barrel section to re-light to lighter.
