The invention relates to a spark wheel type gas lighter comprising a lighter body, a reservoir, a valve permitting gas to leave the reservoir, an ignition system comprising a pyrophoric flint co-operating with a spark wheel and a spring maintaining the flint against the spark wheel, a lever pivotally mounted on an axis essentially parallel to the axis of rotation of the spark wheel and co-operating with the valve and the axis of the lever is mounted movably with respect to the body of the lighter between an active position permitting the operation of the valve mounted on the reservoir and a rest position in which action on the lever does not permit operation of the valve, the spark wheel can be displaced with respect to the body of the lighter, and operate the lever in its movement, and elastic means act on the lever and/or on the spark wheel to return them to a position of rest in which the lever does not act on the valve. The body of the lighter may comprise two oblong openings, each receiving a spindle of the pivoting lever which are 'V' shaped, the point of the 'V' being located next to the spark wheel and in that the spindles of the pivoting lever are located at the level of the point of the 'V' in the rest position of the lever, and at the level of the end of the branch of the 'V' located next to the valve in the active position of the lever. The pivoting lever comprises an abutting face which acts against a counter-abutting face integral with the body of the lighter when the lever is in its rest position, thus preventing pivoting of the lever, and does not abut in the active position of the lever, thus permitting pivoting of the lever and operation of the valve. |
