<p>A gas lighter valve assembly that can be fitted easily and tightly into a gas lighter body or a well therein as a free-floating entity not fixed to the gas lighter body or well therein. The valve assemblies integration as a free floating entity within the lighter body or well therein avoids the necessity of interference fit. To avoid the necessity of interference fit, valve assembly positioning and stability is achieved by the use of an o-ring which is compressed by downward force exerted by a pressing cover upon a bushing or directly upon the o-ring. By eliminating the stress and friction typically caused by interference fit, the lighter body and reservoir can be made from a variety of materials including non-crystalline resins.</p> |
