Abstract
A lighter including a body defining at least one liquid fuel reservoir and at least first and second lighter head assemblies which communicate with the at least one liquid fuel reservoir via respective at least first and second liquid fuel feed conduits.
Description
- The present invention relates to lighters, such as cigarette lighters, generally.
- The following U.S. patent Documents relate to cigarette lighters having multiple flames: U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,152,725; 6,558,156 and 6,589,045.
- The present invention seeks to provide a novel and improved lighter which improves utilization of the fuel contained therein.
- There is thus provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention a lighter including a body defining at least one liquid fuel reservoir and at least first and second lighter head assemblies which communicate with the at least one liquid fuel reservoir via respective at least first and second liquid fuel feed conduits.
- In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention the body is a generally elongate body and the at least first and second lighter head assemblies are mounted on opposite ends of the generally elongate body.
- In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention the at least first and second liquid fuel feed conduits each define a respective first end which lies within the liquid fuel reservoir and a respective second end which communicates with a respective fuel outlet.
- In accordance with still another preferred embodiment of the present invention the liquid fuel reservoir is partially bifurcated.
- In accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the present invention the at least first and second lighter head assemblies each include a respective finger operated spark generator subassembly and a thumb operated fuel valve opening lever.
- In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention the lighter also includes a wind shield associated with each of the at least first and second lighter head assemblies. In accordance with still another preferred embodiment of the present invention the wind shield is formed with a side aperture for receiving the end of a cigarette to be lighted.
- The present invention will be understood and appreciated more fully from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a simplified partially cut-away pictorial illustration of a lighter constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a simplified partially cut-away pictorial illustration of a lighter constructed and operative in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
