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.

A disposable fuel can for a lighter has been developed. The disposable fuel can includes a lid, with a depressible valve, connected to an opening of a fuel storage area and an integrally formed elongated cylindrical body forming the fuel storage area. The elongated cylindrical body has a diameter of between 15 and 25 millimeters, and a length of between 35 and 75 millimeters. A longest length of the disposable fuel can is less than 95 millimeters allowing the disposable fuel can to be inserted into the lighter.

A lighter includes a lighter body having a fuel reservoir with a fuel-releasing valve, and an assembly such as a piezoelectric system, an electric system or system having a friction wheel rotatable by a user to produce sparks directed to the fuel released by the valve. The friction wheel assembly is mounted on the lighter body such that at least part of the friction wheel is exposed to be handled and rotated by the user. A valve actuator is depressible to actuate the valve and release the fuel. A protective element is mounted on the lighter body and consists of multiple layers. The protective element has a thickness ranging from 25-200 m and includes an outer protective film formed by a plastic film coated with an aliphatic polyurethane layer having a thickness ranging from 10-75 containing between 30 and 100% solids, depending on the required degree of smoothness.

A casing for lighters comprises a first housing (7) for the lighter (2) having an upper opening (8) for the insertion thereof, means (9) for detecting the activation of the valve means (4) housed in the first housing (7) and having an emitter (12) adapted to generate a visual and/or audible signal upon a pressure of the pushbutton (5) of the lighter. The detecting means (9) comprise a normally open electric circuit (20) operatively associated with the emitter (12) and having contact terminals (21) arranged at the upper open edge (8) of the first housing (7) to be closed upon the contact with the user's finger at the pressure of the pushbutton (5) or upon the contact with the pushbutton (5).

The present disclosure provides a fire starter that does not require oxygen from the air to ignite or maintain a flame and makes it easy to ignite using one or no fingers, such as teeth. A fire starter includes a burnable casing forming a sealed chamber. A first burnable mixture and a second burnable mixture are separately disposed in the sealed chamber. The first burnable mixture can form a flame without oxygen from the air. An igniter is disposed in the sealed chamber adjacent to the first burnable mixture and configured to generate a first thermal event to ignite the first burnable mixture without oxygen from the air. The first burnable mixture combusts during the first thermal event and triggers a second thermal event to ignite the second burnable mixture. An actuator is configured to activate the igniter to generate the first thermal event without using more than one finger.

A lighter case for holding a lighter is disclosed. The lighter case includes: a case body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the case body defining a first opening at the first end and a cavity for receiving and retaining the lighter therein, the cavity extending from the first opening toward the second end; and a wind guard slidably coupled to the case body, the wind guard being slidable axially relative to a length of the case body between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the wind guard comprises a partial cylindrical guard wall defining a central interior space and wherein the guard wall defines an access opening for accessing the central interior space.
