  • Patent number: 9431640
    Abstract: A mobile power supply includes a case, a control circuit board, a power storage module, a heating element and a thermal sheet. The case is with a hole formed thereon. The control circuit board is disposed in the case. A plurality of electrical connectors is welded on the control circuit board and is exposed by the case. The power storage module is disposed in the case and electrically connected to the control circuit board. The heating element is disposed on the case and exposed at the hole. The heating element is electrically connected to the control circuit board. The thermal sheet is attached to the case and in contact with the heating element. Thereby, the mobile power supply may provide heat and be used for heat preservation or for keeping warm.

  • Patent number: 8979526
    Abstract: Described is a cell phone cover having an integrated cigarette lighter. The cell phone cover includes a housing that is divided into an interior volume in which a cell phone can be inserted, and an enclosed volume in which a control circuit having a supplemental battery is positioned. A lighting port having a heating element suited for lighting a cigarette and at least one lighting port control are positioned on the housing. The lighting port control allows a user to turn the lighting port on or off and is connected to a control circuit and powered by means of the supplemental battery. The cell phone cover is composed of a heat-resistant material that will not burn or melt as result of the heat created by the lighting port and that protects the cell phone from exposure to the heat created from the lighting port.

  • Patent number: 6843650
    Abstract: A cigarette lighter includes a shell, a nozzle, an ignition device, a button, a cap and a linkage. The shell includes a reservoir for fuel. The nozzle is in communication with the reservoir through a pipe. The ignition device includes a wire extending to the vicinity of the nozzle. The button is connected with the ignition device. The button is movable between a locking position, a first operative position and a second operative position. The cap is mounted on the shell for covering the nozzle. The linkage is connected between the button and the cap. The linkage locks the cap in the locking position. The linkage releases the cap in the first operative position. The ignition device creates electric arcs between a free end of the wire and the nozzle in the second operative position.

  • Publication number: 20020182554
    Abstract: A two-stage safety arrangement for a cigarette lighter of the piezoelectric type having a case that houses a flammable liquid container, gas release mechanism, and piezoelectric ignition element. The safety arrangement includes an ignition cover that covers the gas release mechanism, a striking lever, and a release button. To operate the lighter, a user must first depress the release button and use an upward movement to release the ignition cover and reveal the gas release mechanism. Next, the user must simultaneously depress the release button and push the striking lever rotatably downwards and away from the gas release mechanism in order to actuate the piezoelectric ignition element. Use of both hands to depress the release button and pry back the striking lever from above, near the gas release mechanism, is further prevented by providing a raised safety ridge to prevent a user from gripping the edge of the striking lever near the outlet of the gas release mechanism.

  • Patent number: 4060373
    Abstract: Lighter using liquefied gas under pressure comprises a casing, a cap for said casing, a reservoir provided with a valve leading to a burner, and an ignition mechanism comprising an abrasive wheel, a flint biassed against the abrasive wheel, and valve control means actuated by the movement of said cap through a spring, one part of which spring is connected to the cap to hold it in either open or closed position and the other part of which spring is adapted to be displaced by the movement of the spring part connected to the cap and cooperates with the valve to open the valve during opening of the cap. The spring also comprises a third part cooperating with the flint to bias said flint against the abrasive wheel.
