Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a lighter with an improved safety button to ensure operation safety of the lighter. The lighter has a tubular shape with an ignition button attached to the top and the safety button attached to the surface of the ignition button. The safety button is designed to be pushed away before activating the ignition button to release the locked status of the lighter. The improved lighter safety button will not affect the regular use of the lighter but for children, it would be difficult to activate, preventing danger caused by accidentally igniting the lighter. The present invention provides a clear and effective safety mechanism with only simple elements and structure."
Problems solved by technology
Due to such an enormous amount of lighters, which is easy to operate and lights up without any safety device, around us, the misuse of lighter leading to a fire accident is frequently heard.
Preventing children from accidentally triggering the lighter and causing danger is a major issue of the new generation lighter disclosed herein.

Embodiment Construction
[0022]With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIGS. 1 and 2, a lighter constructed in accordance with the present invention, generally designated with reference numeral 10, is shown. The lighter 10 has a tubular configuration defined by an outer casing 11. On the top of the outer casing 11, an ignition button 20 is provided and a safety button 30 is arranged on the surface of the ignition button 20.
[0023]As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outer casing 11 accommodates a main body of the lighter 10 and a fuel container 12. An igniter 13 is located atop the fuel container 12, and top of the igniter 13 is in contact with a press arm 22 of the ignition button 20. A fire outlet orifice 14 is formed at the topmost location of the lighter and is covered by an extension section 21 of the ignition button 20.
[0024]FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the ignition button 20, illustrating a condition where the safety button 30 is not pushed open, and the igniter button 20 is prevented fro...

A lighter, in the form of a tubular shape in particular, is provided with a safety button. The lighter includes an ignition button having a surface to which the safety button is mounted. The surface of the ignition button defines a slot in which the safety button is received. The safety button is biased by a spring to have a pin engaging a notch defined in an inside wall of a casing of the lighter to set the lighter in a locked status. The safety button can be manually moved against the spring to disengage the safety pin from the notch to thereby release the locked status, and then the ignition button can be pressed down to set a fire at a fire outlet orifice that receives fuel from a fuel container accommodated in the casing.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to a lighter, and in particular to a lighter having a safety button so that to actuate the lighter to set a fire, the safety button must be moved first to release a locked status of the lighter whereby operation safety of the lighter can be ensured.[0003]2. The Related Art[0004]Conventional lighters, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, are of a disposable design containing a fixed amount of fuel. These lighters are made up of fixed structure and elements so that the construction of lighters of this kind is extremely simple, cheap and very commonly seen. Such a disposable lighter is thus prevailing and a great number of such lighter products are sold every year. Due to such an enormous amount of lighters, which is easy to operate and lights up without any safety device, around us, the misuse of lighter leading to a fire accident is frequently heard.[0005]The present invention i...
