The interior assembly (1) includes a piezoelectric element (3) which is immobilized between an anvil (4) and a limiting piece (5) over which a plexor (6) hits to generate the lighting spark. This mechanism of the invention has two telescopic assemblies (1, 2) aided by a spring (20) for maintaining a maximum extension position between the assemblies.

Google Patents US5262697A - Piezoelectric mechanism for gas lighters They provide a dependable spark every time with the push of a button.US5262697A - Piezoelectric mechanism for gas lighters You will also find your outdoor barbecues and other occasions enhanced by the reliability of these devices. ![]() ![]() Otherwise, for people who enjoy smoking cigars or pipes, or for a multitude of other purposes, these lighters are superb solutions. However, if you need a device that will work at high elevations of 8,000 feet or more, piezo electric lighters will not work well. Torch style butane lighters that utilize piezoelectricity are widely used for a broad array of purposes. For many purposes where a source of fire is needed, these lighters provide an ideal solution. In the long run, they will save both money and time as they continually provide a reliable spark. ![]() For frequent use, these lighters provide the most efficient and effective option. Unlike flint, quartz can be struck thousands of times without showing much wear at all. At the same time, this process creates enough energy to produce a spark. Quartz is a durable material and is hardly affected when it is struck by the small spring loaded hammer. Piezoelectric devices are much longer lasting than devices that depend on flint. This creates the necessary amount of voltage to generate a spark. This is the typical process used in such lighters. When the button on a Piezo electric ignitor is pressed, a spring loaded hammer strikes quartz in order to create a spark. Users who are looking for a durable lighter that does not require constant flint replacement will enjoy these innovative lighters. Piezo electric lighters are growing in popularity. They are easy to use and quite cost-effective over time. In comparison with standard lighters, piezo electric devices only produce a single spark. ![]() Such devices often use a push button in order to ignite. Piezo electricity does not utilize electrical connections, although there are some devices that use wires in order to direct the spark to a certain location. The durability of this material makes such lighters long lasting and very dependable. Quart is typically the material used to generate this spark. When this object is struck, it creates voltage. Piezo electrical ignition creates enough energy that a small hammer strikes an object within the device. It functions differently than a flint ignitor. This type of ignitor is used on push button cigarette lighters, push button grills, and many other devices. You may be surprised to learn that you have used piezo electricity before.
