LIGHTER

摘要

A lighter may include a shell, a power source disposed within the shell, a coil in electrical communication with the power source, and a cover movable between an open and a closed position, with the coil exposed to the environment in the open position and shielded from the environment in a closed position. When the lighter is opened, by sliding the cover for instance, the an electrical current may flow through the coil thereby heating the coil to a temperature sufficient to ignite a combustible object, such as a cigarette. The power source may be a rechargeable battery.

主权项

1. A lighter comprising:
a shell having opposed first and second ends; a power source disposed within the shell; a coil provided proximate to the first end of the shell, the power source in electrical communication with the coil in order to drive a current through the coil thereby heating the coil; and a cover positionable proximate to the first end of the shell and movable between a closed position and an open position, the closed position substantially covering the coil from the environment and the open position exposing at least a portion of the coil to the environment thereby permitting a user of the lighter to press a combustible object against the coil in order to ignite the combustible object.
