AROMA-GENERATING AUTOMOBILE CIGARETTE LIGHTER Inventor: Donald Spector, a citizen of the United States of America and resident of Union City, New Jersey ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE An automobile cigarette lighter adapted to generate an aromatic vapor, the lighter being releasably retained within a dashboard socket having terminals therein connected to the battery of the vehicle. The lighter is constituted by a cylindrical shell having telescoped therein a spring-biased plunger. A disc-shaped heater element attached to the front end of the plunger is normally disposed at a position spaced from the socket terminals. A knob attached to the rear of the plunger projects beyond the rear end of the shell. When the knob is pressed in by a user, the plunger is advanced relative to the shell to cause the heater contact to engage the socket terminals and to be latched thereto by a bi- metallic element, thereby activating the heater. When the heat generated thereby reaches a level causing the bimetallic element to bend, it releases the plunger which then returns to its normal inactive position. Formed in the plunger and the knob is a central duct extending from the heater element to an end opening in the knob. Receivable in the duct is a replaceable tubular cartridge having a heat-responsive, aroma-producing member therein which is activated by the heat to exude an aromatic vapor into the interior of the vehicle.
