Abstract (en)
A piezoelectric lighter incorporates with a safety arrangement which includes an ignition cap sildably mounted on a casing in a rotationally movable manner wherein a guiding slot is provided on the casing to communicate with an exterior of the casing. A locking member includes a locking latch at a bottom end thereof and an operation button at a top end thereof. A resilient element is adapted for applying an urging pressure against the locking latch so as to normally retain the locking latch in a locking position. In which, at the locking position, the locking latch blocks up the ignition cap from ignition. In order to ignite the lighter, a user's thumb must operate the operation button for moving the locking latch to an unlocking position. Then, the user is able to push the ignition cap sidewardly to ignite the lighter. <IMAGE>
