A portable biometric lighter device (100) generally involving a control unit (210), a biometric sensor, such as a fingerprint sensor (140), wherein the biometric sensor is configured to scan a biometric data of a user and is operably coupled to the control unit (210), and an ignition element, wherein the ignition element is activated by the control unit (210) upon a match of the scanned biometric data of the user and a biometric data of an authorized user that is stored in a memory device.

An igniter with a safety protection device (5) and an ignition control method therefor. The igniter comprises an ignition switch (3) and an energy supply module (4). The safety protection device (5) comprises a safety switch (51), a trigger module (52) and a wireless transceiver module (53), wherein the wireless transceiver module (53) can transmit a wireless request signal, receive a wireless response signal from an external device (2) and transmit the received wireless response signal to the trigger module (52), and the trigger module (52) triggers the safety switch (51) according to the wireless response signal to enable the safety switch (51) to act, so that ignition can be realized, and the ignition cannot be realized even the ignition switch (3) is actuated when the wireless transceiver module (53) does not receive the wireless response signal. The igniter can effectively prevent children or disabled persons from accidentally using the igniter.

A torch includes a body, a fuel tank and a microjet burner. The torch also includes an ignition button that is movable relative to the body between an upper position and a depressed position, and a cap assembly, which includes a lower cap and a safety cap rotatably coupled with the lower cap. The safety cap includes an ignition button guard, defines a flame portal, and is rotatable between a closed position and an armed position. When the safety cap is in the closed position, the ignition button guard is aligned with the ignition button and inhibits access to the ignition button, and the safety cap covers the microjet burner. When the safety cap is in the armed position, the flame portal is aligned with the microjet burner, and the ignition button guard is misaligned with the ignition button, and access to the ignition button is unobstructed.

Lighters are disclosed herein. An example lighter includes a base and a flame ignition assembly at least partially disposed in the base. The flame ignition assembly includes a nozzle. The example lighter also includes a button having an opening. The nozzle is disposed in the opening of the button. The is button to, when depressed, cause the flame ignition assembly to produce a flame at the nozzle.

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.
