Abstract
A disposable lighter has an elongated body and an L-shaped clip that has a dual purpose of actuating a release valve for gaseous fuel and securing the lighter within a user's pocket. Simplicity in design renders the device easy to manufacture, reliable in performance, and disposable after exhaustion of the fuel supply.
