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.

Claims (17)

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.
