[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in each of the conventional lighter devices described above, the structure is complicated because they are provided with electrical contacts, and detailed work is required for the assembling work. There was a problem of being bad.

Moreover, since the structure is complicated and the workability is poor, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased.

Further, since all of them are provided with electrical contacts, if fine dust or the like enters between the contacts, contact failure of the electrical contacts occurs, so that current is not supplied and the electronic music box b In some cases, no sound is produced by the sound producing device i.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above conventional problems.

That is, by constructing a structure in which the sounding body is sounded by detecting the external light when the lid is opened or the light from the flame of the lighter, the wiring is unnecessary, the structure is simple, and the built-in structure is incorporated. The work can be done easily, the workability is good, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the occurrence of the sound by the sounding body is always good without causing troubles such as poor contact. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lighter device that can be kept and does not cause inconvenience such as breakdown.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention has a light guide arranged on one side in a main body case in which a lighter is detachably or integrally provided, and a lid which can be opened and closed on the upper side of the light guide in the main body case. A sounding body is detachably or fixedly arranged at the bottom of the main body case, and penetrates the light guide through the light guide when the lid is opened. An optical sensor that detects the incoming external light or the light of the flame of the lighter and sounds the sounding body is provided.

[0012]

[Action]

 When the lighter device of the present invention is used in a bright place such as daytime, by opening the lid, external light passes through the light guide and the optical sensor detects the external light.

When the lighter device of the present invention is used in a dark place such as at night, the light emitted by the flame of the ignited lighter passes through the light guide, and the light sensor detects the light emitted by the flame.

When the optical sensor detects the light in this way, a sounder or a melody or the like is sounded from the sounding body arranged at the bottom of the main body case.
