PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an openable angle of a cap larger in a structure of a lighter so as to prevent the cap from coming close to a flame, enable the cap to be opened without directly operating it, and lock it in a closed state. SOLUTION: The lighter has a fuel tank 2, a fuel burning member 6, an igniting means 10 which has a file wheel 13 both sides of which are fixed with lateral wheels 14 and in which a flint 11 is brought into pressure contact with the file wheel 13 from below, a support portion 51 for supporting a rotary shaft 15, and an openable cap 7. The cap 7 is supported in a freely flapping state by a support shaft 75 at a portion opposite to the file wheel 13, is urged in its opening direction by means of a spring 76, and has, at the end thereof on the file wheel side, a stopper 74 capable of being locked to the rotary shaft 15. The rotary shaft 15 is supported in such a manner as to be movable between a locking position and an unlocking position according to its abutment against the stopper 74. When the cap 7 is closed, the stopper 74 is locked to the rotary shaft 15, so that the cap 7 is kept in a closed state, and in conjunction with the operation of the lateral wheels 14, the rotary shaft 15 is moved to the unlocking position, whereby the locking of the rotary shaft 15 to the stopper 74 is released to open the cap 7. |
