Abstract
This invention provides a gas lighter (1) in which a cap (7) can be surely and easily mounted on the lighter body. A chamfer (17) having an inclined surface is formed on one side of a recess (15) on a support post (16) of the lighter body. A trapezoidal resilient tongue (11) projecting inward of the cap (7) is formed at the hook portion (6) of the cap (7). The resilient tongue (11) slides on the inclined surface of the chamfer (17) into the recess (15), whereby the hook portion (6) is brought into engagement with the recess (15).
