Abstract
A pencil type gas lighter comprising a cylindrical casing consisting of a fore cylinder provided with a flame port at the front end and a rear cylinder separately joined with said fore cylinder. A gas container in said fore cylinder housing has an ignition nozzle with a gas valve disposed on the fore cylinder front end side of said gas container in communication with said gas container through said gas valve. A discharge electrode is positioned within the range of gas ejection from the ignition nozzle, and a feed valve is disposed on the fore cylinder rear end side of said gas container for supplying gas into said gas container. A high voltage generating means in said rear cylinder is electrically connected to said discharge electrode, said high voltage generating means having a valve opening member and a lever, the valve opening member being adapted for opening the gas valve in cooperation with the lever operable to generate a high voltage in said high voltage generating means.
