ABSTRACT An electric cigar lighter, comprising a holder device including a socket member having two contacts forming part of a cigar lighter circuit and an ignitor plug member receivable in the socket member. The plug member comprises a manually operable part and has a heating element carried at its inner end. Means including an electrical switch are provided, for establishing a circuit from the holder device contacts through the heating element. A bimetallic operator, having cold and hot positions, is carried by one of the members and is adapted to open the electrical switch in response to its heating. The bimetallic operator is of dish-like configuration and has a formed peripheral portion defining a shallow arcuate trough which provides a spring-action return of the operator from its hot position to its cold position. The advantage of the present invention over the devices of the prior art is that a more reliable and positive spring-action return of the bi- metallic operator occurs, thereby insuring proper operation of the device over extended periods of use.
