Flint wheel lighter with a safety device

Abstract

A flint wheel lighter with a safety device, comprises a casing, a fuel container disposed in the casing, a vent assembly, an ignition assembly, and a windproof hood above the fuel container, the ignition assembly is arranged on the side opposite to the windproof hood. Said ignition assembly comprises a press plate, a flint, and a flint wheel. A bent safety rod rotatable with the flint wheel is disposed on the side surface of said flint wheel, with both ends of two sections of said bent safety rods protruding out of the rim of the flint wheel. In a safe mode, the end of one section butts against the inner surface of the top cover of the windproof hood, and the end of the other section lies over the flint wheel. The flint wheel lighter with safety rod provided by the present invention can effectively control the operation of the flint wheel by the safety rod, so as to prevent fire disasters and accidents caused by children playing with the flint wheel.
