  • Electric safety lighter
    Patent number: 4039274
    Abstract: An electric safety lighter is provided which requires the preliminary step of immersing a normally dry wick into a reservoir of lighter fluid before a flame can be produced. This additional step precludes inadvertent operation of the lighter by a child and thus performs a valuable safety function. In addition, by maintaining the wick normally removed from the reservoir, lighter fluid evaporation is minimized.
