Usb rechargeable electronic element lighter

Abstract

The present invention is a lighter having a body with a hollow interior cavity containing a rechargeable battery, a USB connector port, a heat transfer device, wherein said heat transfer device is constructed and arranged to propagate heat sufficient to ignite an article placed between 0.0-1.0 cm of said heat transfer device, and electronic circuitry in said cavity, wherein said circuitry accepts electrical input from said USB port, provides said electricity in a configuration to charge said rechargeable battery, and provides electricity to said heat transfer device.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A lighter comprising:
 a body with a hollow interior cavity;   a rechargeable battery;   a USB connector port;   a heat transfer device, wherein said heat transfer device is constructed and arranged to propagate heat sufficient to ignite an article placed between 0.0-1.0 cm of said heat transfer device;   electronic circuitry in said cavity, wherein said circuitry accepts electrical input from said USB port, provides said electricity in a configuration to charge said rechargeable battery, and provides electricity to said heat transfer device;   a safety switch incorporated with a sensor, wherein said safety switch interrupts electricity to said heat transfer device when any of time threshold, temperature threshold, temperature level, and combinations thereof are reached and detected by said sensor.   
     
     
         2 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said heat transfer device is a heat conducting coil. 
     
     
         3 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said heat transfer device is a heat conducting plate. 
     
     
         4 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said heat transfer device produces heat sufficient to ignite a cigarette or cigar placed within 0.0-1.0 cm of said heat transfer device. 
     
     
         5 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said heat transfer device produces heat from 0.0-1.0 cm from said device of between 300-2200 degrees Fahrenheit. 
     
     
         6 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said sensor is configured to measure time, temperature, or both. 
     
     
         7 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said sensor is operatively associated with said circuitry. 
     
     
         8 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said sensor is operatively associated with said circuitry and said circuitry is configured to interrupt electricity to said heating device when a configured time, temperature, or both is detected by said sensor. 
     
     
         9 . The lighter of  claim 1 , wherein said sensor is configured to interrupt electricity to said heating device after a time period of 3-20 seconds of electricity supplied to said heating device. 
     
     
         10 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said heat transfer device is slidably extended and retracted into said cavity. 
     
     
         11 . The lighter of  claim 1  wherein said heat transfer device is incorporated onto said main body.
