A flame producing assembly includes a pocket lighter, an extended wand, a rigid support, and a helical spring. The pocket lighter extends along a longitudinal axis and defines a length. The pocket lighter includes a piezoelectric ignition device operable to produce an electric charge. The extended wand is electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device. The rigid support is disposed inside the extended wand and includes a longitudinal inner opening. The helical spring extends along the longitudinal inner opening and protrudes beyond a free end of the rigid support. The free end is opposite a connecting end that is proximate to the pocket lighter.

A portable flame generating device for lighting a cigarette includes a tube that is close-ended and configured to position a fuel. A housing, which is coupled to and extends from a top of the tube, is cylindrically shaped, circumferentially equivalent to the tube, and comprises an upper section that is pivotally coupled to a lower section. A nozzle is coupled to the top of the tube and is in fluidic communication with the tube. The nozzle extends through the housing to proximate to an upper end of the housing. A piezoelectric igniter is coupled and positioned in the housing. The nozzle and the piezoelectric igniter are operationally coupled to the upper section of the housing. The upper section is configured to be pivoted relative to the lower section to fluidically couple the nozzle to the tube and to actuate the piezoelectric igniter to ignite the fuel flowing from the nozzle.

A lighter for lighting cigars, cigarettes, pipes, and other objects is disclosed. The lighter may comprise an enclosed top section defining an opening for receiving the object for lighting. An inner surface of the top section includes a plurality of spouts disposed and configured to direct a plurality of flames towards a center of the opening. A bottom section may comprise a fuel reservoir, an igniter, and an actuator. The actuation may actuate the igniter which, in turn, ignites fuel from the fuel reservoir. The igniter may be a piezoelectric igniter. The enclosed burn area of the lighter with flames directed towards a center thereof may promote even burning of the object, such as a cigar.

An electronically controlled igniter device for a wick-containing item, and methods of use thereof, is described. The device is particularly advantageous in that it provides a convenient and safe device for igniting and optionally extinguishing the flame of a wick-containing item. The wick-containing item may be a standalone object, or a set of multiple electrically interconnected objects that can be individually controlled, or several groups of such objects may be remotely or locally controlled.

A flame producing assembly including a pocket lighter and a sub-unit assembly. The sub-unit assembly includes an extended wand, a rigid support and a helical spring. The pocket lighter is connected to the sub-unit assembly. The pocket lighter includes a piezoelectric ignition device. The rigid support is located inside the extended wand and includes a longitudinal inner opening. The extended wand is electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device, wherein the pocket lighter is connected directly to the sub-unit assembly and wherein the helical spring extends along the longitudinal inner opening.

A battery-operated ignition smoking pipe including a replaceable nichrome wire within an indentation on an inner perimeter of a bowl of the pipe body, a fuel reservoir directly below and adjacent the interior cavity of the bowl, an ignition switch on a stem of a pipe body to activate, in one embodiment, a nichrome wire and, and in another embodiment, an ignition wire for igniting an amount of fuel within a fuel reservoir to combust an ignitable smoking substance, such as tobacco, contained within the bowl, and a filter disposed between the stem and the bowl. The present device permits one-handed ignition to combust the smoking substance.

A method for igniting a refillable gas lighter comprises a rear case, a front case and a barrel. The lighter is provided with a physical phenomenon of piezo-electric effect to generate the electric spark. Inside the rear case, the pusher is pressed down to the gas tank with the pusher having a plurality of conducting strips that acts as an electrical conductor connected to the gas tank. A copper wire carrying negative charge is connected with a bridge plate that passes through the conductive hose to achieve fuel distribution and electric conduction. The conductive hose transfers the igniting gas from the gas tank to the spark plug, where the ignition initiates the flame. The housing assembly includes a rear case with a rear case neck, a front case with a front case neck, and a barrel. The housing assembly is further locked together by means of a barrel sleeve where the barrel has a flame opening to ignite.

A pocket lighter with a snap-in burner assembly unit has been developed. The pocket lighter includes a snap-in burner assembly unit comprising: a fuel input port, a fuel regulator, a jet nozzle, and a burner cylinder. The pocket lighter additionally includes a lighter base comprising: a fuel tank, a fuel output port, a fuel ignition source, a fuel lever, and a push button mechanism for actuating the fuel lever and creating a spark; and wherein the fuel input port and the fuel output port mate together forming an airtight seal when the snap-in burner is installed within the lighter base.
