Abstract
The lighter housing encloses therein a piezo electric crystal and an impact hammer which, when the crystal is struck, causes the crystal to generate an electrical pulse which provides the spark to ignite the lighter. The impact hammer is operated by a pivoted lever, engaged on one side by a manually operable slider, the other side engaging a striker mechanism which compresses a spring which, when suitably compressed, then releases the impact hammer to strike the crystal. The pivoted two-arm lever has a longer arm engaged by the operating slider, to provide for high compressive force of the spring the operating mechanism includes a camming arrangement to open a gas valve for a gas operated lighter.
