The lighter (10) of the present invention provides a slip ring (60) which is concentrically mounted about the striking wheel assembly (50) of a conventional lighter. To operate the lighter, digital pressure is applied to frictionally couple the slip ring (60) and the striking wheel assembly (50) together to move in concert to create a spark, The slip ring (60) has disposed along its circumference an elongated slot (70). The ends (72, 74) of the slot engage the flint housing (15) to halt the movement of the ring, and, hence, the motion of the striking wheel assembly (50). Lastly, the slip ring (60) includes protrusions (80) which hold the slip ring (60) in a neutral position until force is applied in a backward direction to disengage the slip ring (60).
Briquet (10) comprenant une bague coulissante (60) montée de manière concentrique autour de l'ensemble molette (50) d'un briquet classique. Pour faire fonctionner le briquet, une pression est appliquée par les doigts pour coupler par frottement la bague coulissante (60) et l'ensemble molette (50) et pour que ceux-ci se déplacent de concert, afin de créer des étincelles. La bague coulissante (60) comprend, le long de sa circonférence, une fente allongée (70). Les extrémités (72, 74) de la fente pénètrent dans le logement du silex (15) pour arrêter le mouvement de la bague et de l'ensemble molette (50). Enfin, la bague coulissante (60) comprend des saillies (80) qui la maintiennent (60) dans une position neutre jusqu'à l'application d'une force en direction arrière visant à désaccoupler la bague coulissante (60).
