USB RECHARGEABLE ELECTRONIC ELEMENT LIGHTER
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.
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.
