Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a lighting fixture lighter that has a frame body with a gas liquefied storage and an ignition button. The lighter also has an illumination fixture built-in for generating an illumination light. The illumination fixture can be positioned at the top end, bottom end, or side of the frame body. The power source is replaceable for prolonging the service life span of the lighter. The illumination angle of the illumination fixture can be adjusted for enhancing its practical use. The lighter does not require altering its original structural design and can provide an economic and efficient solution. The lighter also includes a light reflector to enhance the light intensity of the illumination light. The lighter does not require expensive or complicated mechanisms and can provide an added functional feature to the lighter. The lighter also has a refillable valve for refueling the lighter so as to further prolong its service life span. The present invention provides a practical and efficient solution for adding an illumination fixture to a lighter."

Problems solved by technology

However, such decorative light arrangement is not intended to be used for illumination.
However, it is a hassle for the user to carry a plurality of handy tools and the lighter at the same time, especially such handy tools are often used by the user.
In order to keep the compact size of the lighter, the flash light will not able to provide enough light intensity for illumination.
In addition, the battery of the lighter cannot be replaced.

second embodiment

[0073] the light source unit 304′ is preferably positioned at the bottom portion of the frame body 100′ at a position adjacent to the gas liquefied storage 104′.

[0074]In other words, the light transmitting window 108′ is preferably formed at the bottom wall of the frame body 100′, so that light source unit 304′ aligned with the light transmitting window 108′ is able to emit the illumination light therethrough, so as to emit the illumination light from the bottom side of the frame body 100′. More specifically, a light compartment 308′ for retaining the light source unit 304′ therein is disposed within the lighter housing 102′ at the bottom side of the frame body 100′ and defines the light transmitting window 108′ at the bottom wall of the frame body 100′. Thus, the light source unit 304′ is supported within the light compartment 308′ for generating the illumination light out of the bottom wall of the frame body 100′ through the light transmitting window 108′.

[0075]As best shown in FI...

first embodiment

[0113]FIG. 10 illustrates an alternative mode of the first embodiment, wherein the light source unit 304 is received in the light compartment 308C at the ignition button 106C. As shown in FIG. 10, the ignition button 106C comprises a button housing 1061C receiving at least a high efficiency diode 310 therein and a button lens 1062C provided on top of the button housing 1061C to define the light transmitting window 108C at the button lens 1062C. The light button 306 is provided at the button housing 1061C. Accordingly, the button housing 1061C is made of light opaque material such that the light from the light source unit 304 cannot be transmitted through the button housing 1061C. The button lens 1062C is made of transmittable material and is formed as an optical lens to modify or focus the light from the light source unit 304 so as to enhance the light intensity of the light projecting out of the button lens 1062C. Accordingly, the button lens 1062C as a lens cover is integrally for...

third embodiment

[0126]FIG. 17 illustrates an alternative mode of the third embodiment, wherein the light source unit 304″ is supported at a position adjacent to a sidewall of the lighter housing 102M for generating the illumination light out of the lighter frame. The light source unit 304″ further comprises an elongated activation circuit 312″ supported at the light compartment 308″, and a plurality of LEDs 310″ spacedly and operatively coupled at the activation circuit 312″, such that when the activation circuit 312″ is activated by an actuation of the light button 306″, the LEDs 310″ are arranged for generating the illumination light out of the sidewall of the lighter housing 102M. Preferably, the light button 306″ is provided at the lighter housing 102M at a position above the LEDs 310″.

[0127]As shown in FIG. 17, the LEDs 310″ are alignedly and spacedly positioned at the sidewall of the lighter housing 102M. In particularly, the LEDs 310″ are outwardly and sidewardly protruded from the lighter h...

Abstract

A lighting fixture lighter includes a frame body including a light transmitting window, a flame generator, and an illumination fixture built-in with the lighter for generating illumination light for illumination purpose. The illumination fixture includes a power source, a light source unit supported within a light compartment and aligning with the light transmitting window, and a light button to activate the light source unit for generating an illumination light, so that the illumination light is emitted out of the light transmitting window for illumination purpose. In order to enhance the light intensity of the light source unit, a light reflector is further provided within the light compartment for reflecting the illumination light from the light source unit, such that the lighter not only provides the traditional ignition function, but also provides an added on illumination function in the single compact lighter housing.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This is a Continuation-In-Part application of a non-provisional application having an application Ser. No. 12 / 589,036 and a filing date of Oct. 17, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a lighter, and more particularly to a lighting fixture lighter which not only provides a conventional ignition feature but also generates an illumination light in a single compact casing.[0004]2. Description of Related Arts[0005]A lighter is a common tool that replaces matches for igniting cigarettes and cigars. Generally, there are two types of lighter, namely the disposable lighter that the lighter is disposed after the fuel is used up and the refillable lighter that the fuel thereof is adapted for being refilled to prolong the service life span of the lighter.[0006]Generally, a conventional lighter, such as a piezoelectric lighter, comprises a lighter housing having a liquefied fuel stor...
