| 431269000 | Cap, match or pellet igniting charge holding and firing means | 2 |
| 20160076770 | LIGHTING APPARATUS FOR TOBACCO-BASED PRODUCTS - An igniter apparatus for igniting a tobacco-based product having a sensitized tip. The igniter apparatus includes a first member and a second member cooperatively defining a chamber having sides supporting an abrasive. The first member and second member are biased at a first position with a bias element and movement of the first member toward the second member compresses the bias element, reduces the size of the chamber, and thereby decreases the distance between the abrasives located at the side of the chamber. Insertion of the tobacco based product in the first position locates the sensitized tip adjacent to the abrasives. Compression of the bias element reduces the size of the chamber such that the sensitized tip contacts the abrasive. Removal of the tobacco-based product from the reduced-in-size chamber ignites the sensitized tip, thereby lighting the tobacco-based product for smoking. | 03-17-2016 |
| 431270000 | Externally accessible operator fires charge within flame enclosure | 1 |
| 20090011379 | Combustion initiator - The combustion initiator of this invention preferably includes at least two separate combustible chemical constituents including a fuel cell and an ignition pellet. An igniter has a third combustible material thereon which can be manually caused to move and bring the combustible material into contact with the ignition pellet. The combustible material and ignition pellet are highly reactive with one another so that such contact therebetween causes the ignition pellet to commence combustion. The ignition pellet is adjacent the fuel cell and combusts with sufficient temperature to cause the fuel cell to commence combustion. The fuel cell and ignition pellet are preferably contained within an enclosure which protects the igniter from being manipulated unless the enclosure is first opened. The fuel cell material burns hot enough and long enough to cause combustion of surrounding fuels, such as wood. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20090191496 | CHILD-RESISTANT LIGHTER - A child-resistant lighter includes a main body, a wheel racket, a file wheel, a metal cap, and a lever is disclosed. The lever having an upward slant angle of α is within the range 10°≦α≦20° further includes a pressing part, a base, and a slipping hole. Both sides of the base furnish a salient part for acting as the pivot point of the lever, and the salient part is fitted into a securing hole provided at the bottom portion of the file wheel. The securing holes are used as the pivotal bearing seat for bearing the salient part. The pressing part having a slant surface forms an angle θ with respect to the lever and has a horizontal downward slant angle(θ-α). When it comes to use, the user exerts a force P by pressing on the slant surface of the pressing part and the file wheel with his/her thumb making the lighter generate flames. The effective force acting on the lever is P cos θ where the effective range of θ is 27°≦θ≦60°, thereby the range of the effective force is 0.5P≦P cos θ≦0.9P. Therefore, the child-resistant lighter of the invention is capable of preventing the children from carelessness or accidental igniting, thereby improving the safety efficacy of the child-resistant lighter. As a result, the lighter of the invention is capable of protecting the children from causing fire accident to achieve the efficacy of safety usage of the lighter. In this way, the lighter of the invention is capable of improving the efficacy of safety usage. Nevertheless, the exerting force P is still within the range of an adult user. | 07-30-2009 |
