Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0157443A1] The invention concerns a piezoelectric lighter comprising a flame-generating device (30) including a gas jet releasing mechanism (36) and spark-generating mechanism piezoelectric mechanism (50). The invention is characterised in that said lighter comprises two actuating elements (32, 34; 140, 150, 170, 180; 210, 220; 240, 250) capable of moving along a longitudinal axis (XX') under the action of a force exerted by the user, at least one (32; 140; 170; 210; 240) of said actuating elements, called first actuating element, being capable of moving independently of the second actuating element (34; 150; 180; 220; 250) and to act on at least on one (50) of said mechanisms, called first mechanism, the second actuating element being adapted to act on the second mechanism (36).
