Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1367326A2] A lighter is disclosed as including a flame generator, a body with a fuel reservoir, and a fuel outlet associated with the fuel reservoir, in which the fuel outlet is movable between a first configuration in which exit of the fuel from the reservoir is prevented, and a second configuration in which exit of the fuel from the reservoir is allowed, further including an operating lever with a first lever part and a second lever part which are movable relative to each other, in which the first lever part is operatively associated with the fuel outlet, and the second lever part is movable from a stable normal position to an operative position to move the first lever part to move the fuel outlet to its second configuration, and the second lever part extends generally upwardly when in the stable normal position. The lighter also includes a cavity for containing a flint, in which a closable aperture is provided on a side surface of the body to allow insertion or removal of the flint. All transverse cross sections of the fuel reservoir have a substantially circular periphery. <IMAGE>
