Abstract
A selectively actuatable lighter device (10) is disclosed which includes a body defining reservoir (12) for containing a combustible gaseous medium such as butane, and having a valve (20) arranged to be selectively actuated between a normal-ly closed position and an open position which permits the exit of the gaseous medium. Such lighter (10) can selectively pro-duce sparks at a location (19, 22) proximate to the gaseous me-dium exit to ignite the gaseous medium. Such lighter device (10) embodies a resiliently releasable valve actuator (14) which nor-mally prevents actuation of the valve (22). The valve actuator (14) includes an interfering portion (14A) which is selectively movable to a position (Fig.11) out of interference with an inter-fering portion (12A) of the lighter body, so that the gaseous me-dium may be released and ignited by the sparks. Once the valve actuator (14) is depressed and released, it returns to its closed or latched position to prevent actuation of the valve to the open position. To "re-use" the lighter, the valve actuator (14) must again be moved to an unlatched position so that the valve (22) can be actuated for subsequent ignition of the gaseous medium.
