Two chambered illuminating lighter

Abstract

A lighter comprises an inner lighter housing and an outer housing that slideably fits over the inner lighter housing to form a two chamber structure. An illumination assembly attaches to the lighter. The illumination assembly comprises a light emitting diode (LED) on an inside portion of the illumination assembly, positioned such that when lit, the LED illuminates the inside portion of inner lighter housing and the outer lighter housing. The inner and outer housings at least somewhat transparent, so as the illuminate an ambient portion of the atmosphere proximate to the lighter. A decorative insert can be provided between the inner lighter hosing and the outer lighter hosing.

1 . A lighter, comprising:
 an inner lighter housing;   a gas container for storing liquid inflammable gas;   a combustion device connected to the gas container;   an igniter for igniting inflammable gas in the combustion device; and   an outer housing that slideably fits over the inner lighter housing to form a two chamber structure.   
   
   
       2 . The lighter of  claim 1 , further comprising, an illumination assembly. 
   
   
       3 . The lighter of  claim 2 , wherein the illumination assembly comprises a light emitting diode (LED) on an inside portion of the illumination assembly, positioned such that when lit, the LED illuminates the inside portion of inner lighter housing and the outer lighter housing. 
   
   
       4 . The lighter of  claim 3 , wherein, both the inner and outer housings are at least somewhat transparent, so as the illuminate an ambient portion of the atmosphere proximate to the lighter. 
   
   
       5 . The lighter of  claim 4 , further comprising a decorative insert for inserting between the inner and out lighter housings. 
   
   
       6 . The lighter of  claim 3 , wherein the illumination assembly further comprises an electrical circuit connected to a battery that provides electrical power to the LED. 
   
   
       7 . The lighter of  claim 6 , further comprising a switch operate the LED. 
   
   
       8 . The lighter of  claim 7 , wherein the switch is actuated by means of a button on the bottom of the illumination assembly that can be depressed by a user of the lighter to cause the circuit to close, and thereby illuminate the LED. 
   
   
       9 . The lighter of  claim 8 , wherein the switch is integrated with the igniter wherein the switch is actuated when the igniter is depressed to light the lighter. 
   
   
       10 . A lighter, comprising:
 an inner lighter housing;   an outer housing that slideably fits over the inner lighter housing to form a two chamber structure; and   an illumination assembly to illuminate the lighter.   
   
   
       11 . A lighter, comprising:
 an inner lighter housing; and   an outer housing that slideably fits over the inner lighter housing to form a two chamber structure.
