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.

The present invention relates to a cigarette lighter having a fuel reservoir configured to contain a combustible fuel. The cigarette lighter includes a pre-mixing burner flame generating unit configured to mix the combustible fuel with air and contain a flame. The cigarette lighter includes a valve in fluidic communication with the fuel reservoir and the pre-mixing burner flame generating unit and configured to facilitate the combustible fuel to enter the pre-mixing burner flame generating unit when the valve is actuated. The cigarette lighter includes a bracket configured to actuate the valve when a force is applied by a user and includes a friction wheel assembly in mechanical communication with the bracket and configured to rotate about an axis. The cigarette lighter includes a flint in mechanical communication with the friction wheel assembly and configured to emit spark when the friction wheel assembly is rotated about the axis by a user.

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.

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 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.

A lighter has a safety button and an ignition trigger arranged on the lighter housing such that an activation force required to move the safety button to an activate position and an ignition force required to move the ignition trigger in an ignition direction are directed opposite to one another. The safety button is arranged on the housing for contact by the purlicue of the user's hand and the trigger is arranged on the housing for contact by a finger of the hand. Consequently, operation of the safety button is concealed during use, and the lighter is operable using only one hand.

A flame producing assembly includes a body housing a piezoelectric ignition device, an extended wand extending longitudinally from the body and electrically coupled to the piezoelectric ignition device, and a helical spring extending longitudinally within the extended wand. The piezoelectric ignition device is operable to produce an electric charge. The helical spring includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The second end portion is a diffuser.
