<p>The lighter (10) of the present invention provides a resiliently deformable guard (60) that covers a portion of the striking wheelassembly (14). To operate the lighter, a user exerts a sufficientpressure to displace the guard (60) before rotating the striking wheel assembly (14). The configuration of the guard with respect to other elements of the lighter and/or one or more retention means (148) of the guard increases the retention of the guard. Further, the lighter of the present invention may provide a brake member (170) to prevent the rotation of the striking wheel assembly when the user attempts to release fuel or rotate the striking wheel assembly before or without displacement of the guard.</p> |
