Abstract

The present invention relates to a gas lighter with high-voltage discharge control. In the existing lighter, when an actuator button is pressed, the discharge takes place between the high-voltage electrode and the gas nozzle, thereby the combustible gas is ignited, but such a lighter has unsatisfying safety. The lighter according to the present invention comprises a fuel tank, piezo-electric device and gas outlet device inside the fuel tank, and a windscreen above the gas outlet device. The piezo-electric device comprises a piezo-electric block, an actuator button associated with said piezo-electric block and a conducting wire. One end of the conducting wire is fixed to the piezo-electric block, the other end is fixed to the upper part of the fuel tank as a high-voltage electrode, characterized in that in the windscreen there are a conductor element, which can be brought close to the high-voltage electrode, and a control element connected thereto, said control element is connected to the gas outlet device. The lighter according to the present invention has a simple structure and can be easily operated. The discharge between the nozzle and the electrode can not take place even when the actuator button is pressed in a non-operation condition, and thus the gas will not be ignited, therefore, the safety of the lighter is greatly improved.
