Personal cigarette lighter

Abstract

A uniquely constructed cigarette lighter designed to minimize damage and death to individuals and damage to property; includes a battery, electrical conduit and heating element that are interconnected by a pressure activated switch. Effectively eliminating open flames, sparks and volatile liquid fuel, characteristics associated with conventional cigarette lighters. Resulting in substantially minimizing death and damage to humans and destruction of property. Additionally, this new device is useful underwater.

1 . A cigarette lighter for use wherever a safe source of heat is required, comprising:
 a watch type battery for its electrical source;   a heating element for ignition;   a metallic electrical conduit for conducting the flow of electrical current;   and a pressure activated connecting switch for interconnecting the component parts.   
     
     
         2 . The embodiment in  claim 1  wherein an electrolyte is used for an electrical conduit. 
     
     
         3 . The embodiment in  claim 2  wherein a ceramic heating element is adapted for underwater usefulness. 
     
     
         4 . The embodiment in  claim 3  wherein a chemical element is used as fuel, that when mixed with air results in flameless heat being produced.
