DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) To further illustrate the disclosure, embodiments detailing a bendable lighter are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.

(7) As shown in FIGS. 1-4, provided is a bendable lighter comprising an ignition head 1; a handle 2 comprising a housing 12, the housing comprising a body, a cavity, a first end, and a second end; a deformable bar 3 disposed on the first end of the handle 2; a support 4 disposed on one end of the deformable bar 3 away from the handle; a lamp 5 disposed on the first end of the handle 2 and on one side of the deformable bar 3; an ignition coil 6; a printed circuit board 7; an ignition switch 8; a lighting switch 9; a polymer battery 10; an ignition button 15; a lighting button 16; a power indicator 17; a USB interface 18; and a power switch 19.

(8) The ignition head 1 is fixedly disposed on the support 4; the ignition coil 6, the printed circuit board 7, and the polymer battery 10 are disposed in the cavity in order from the first end to the second end; the polymer battery 10 is connected to the printed circuit board 7 via a wire; the second end is in in the shape of a semicircle and in transition connection to the body of the handle; the second end comprises a through hole 11; and the through hole and the semicircle are concentric; the housing comprises an upper cover 13 and a lower cover 14 detachably connected to the first cover 13; the ignition button 15 and the lighting button 16 are disposed on the upper cover 13 and are connected to the ignition switch 8 and the lighting switch 9, respectively; the power indicator 17 is disposed on one side of the lighting button 16; the housing further comprises a side wall, and the USB interface 18 and the power switch 19 are disposed on the side wall.

(9) In certain embodiments, the ignition head comprises a first layer and a second layer covering the first layer; the first layer is ceramic, and the second layer comprises a zinc alloy. The deformable bar 3 is straight or curved, with arbitrary bending directions and arbitrary bending angles.

(10) In certain embodiments, the housing of the handle 2 comprises engineering plastic, and the handle 2 comprises a surface comprising at least one microgroove. The power indicator 17 comprises four marks showing a state of charge of the polymer battery 10 is 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%, respectively.

(11) When in use, the ignition head is 4-6 mm away from the ignition point. The handle is made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) engineering plastic, and the upper cover and the lower cover are secured to each other in a built-in mode, which improves the structural stability of the lighter. The lighter can be electroplated with various colors, improving the physical appearance thereof. The power switch is configured to open and close the ignition head, which increases the safety of the lighter.

(12) The polymer battery of the lighter is connected to the printed circuit board via a wire, and the printed circuit board has the functions of overcurrent, overvoltage and overtemperature protection, thus improving the safety property of the lighter. When the ignition time is more than 1 minute, the ignition head will automatically turn off, exhibiting a delay protection function. The printed circuit board comprises a short-circuit protection circuit. The power indicator can show the state of charge of the polymer battery. The printed circuit board further comprises a charge/discharge protection circuit and power supply protection circuit.

(13) The work of the ignition head is controlled by both the power switch and the ignition button. When to ignite, the power switch is pushed to ON, and the power indicator will be on, and then press the ignition switch to ignite the ignition head. Only turn on the power switch or press the ignition switch, the ignition cannot be realized; when lighting is needed, press the LED lighting button, the lighting can be realized.

(14) It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
