Piezoelectric lighter with pivot nozzle head

Abstract

A piezoelectric lighter includes a lighter body, a nozzle head including a nozzle seat and a gas emitting nozzle supported on the nozzle seat in a stationary manner for controlling gas ejecting at the gas emitting nozzle, and a nozzle joint movably coupling the nozzle head with the lighter body, wherein the nozzle joint has a guiding slot allowing a gas tube extending to the gas emitting nozzle and an ignition tip of a piezoelectric unit extending to a position closed to the gas emitting nozzle, wherein the nozzle seat is adapted to be selectively turned with respect to the lighter body via the nozzle joint to selectively adjust an orientation of the gas emitting nozzle so as to adjust an gas ejecting angle of the nozzle head with respect to the lighter body.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a lighter, and more particularly to a piezoelectric lighter with a pivot nozzle head, wherein the nozzle head is adapted to turn with respect to a lighter body so as to selectively adjust an ignition angle of the nozzle head. [0003] 2. Description of Related Arts [0004] A lighter is a common tool that replaces matches for igniting cigarettes and cigars. Generally, a conventional lighter, such as a piezoelectric lighter, comprises a lighter casing having a liquefied fuel storage, a gas nozzle extended to a ceiling of the lighter casing and communicating with the liquefied fuel storage for controlling a flow of gas, a piezoelectric unit disposed in the lighter casing for generating sparks when the piezoelectric unit is depressed, and a pusher button slidably mounted on the lighter casing and arranged when the pusher button is depressed downwardly, the piezoelectric unit is depresse...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric lighter, wherein the nozzle head is pivotally mounted on the lighter body such that the user is able to pivotally turn the nozzle head to select the gas ejecting either at an upright manner or at an inclined manner from the nozzle head so as to enhance the practical use of the piezoelectric lighter.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric lighter, which does not require to alter the original structural design of the lighter so as to minimize the manufacturing cost of the lighter incorporating with the nozzle head.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric lighter, wherein no expensive or complicated mechanism is required to employ in the piezoelectric lighter, so that the present invention successfully provides an economic and efficient solution not only for allowing the nozzle head to be turned to adjust the ignition angle of the lighter but also for facilitating the practical use of the lighter.

Problems solved by technology

However, such piezoelectric lighter has a major drawback that such piezoelectric lighter can provide a single ignition angle.

Since the gas is upwardly ejected from the gas nozzle, the lighter cannot effectively lighten the candle when the lighter is in such slanted position.

However, such lighter is not practical use for lightening a cigarette.

However, the utility lighter is bulky that the user is unable to carry the utility lighter in his or her pocket.
