The present disclosure relates to an electric cigar lighter for use, for example in vehicles, having a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker includes an elongated fuse member having a fuse and a tube for covering the fuse. The tube has a melting point slightly lower than that of the fuse. Therefore, when the fuse melts and separates in two parts upon overheating of a heating element carried by an igniting of the lighter, the separated ends of the fuse are wrapped by the separated ends of the tube. Thus, even if the separated ends of the fuse member contact some portions of the lighter placed adjacent to the fuse member or other members, a short circuit can be prevented.

A miniature electric motor including a shaft, at least one rotor coaxially mounted on the shaft and having a plurality of pole teeth angularly spaced from each other, at least one permanent magnet stator magnetized to provide north and south poles alternating at angular spacings corresponding to the angular spacings of the pole teeth, at least one annular exciting coil, and a yoke member made of magnetic material. The yoke member, exciting coil and stator are positioned relative to the rotor so that a magnetic flux developed by the exciting coil combines with the pole teeth of the rotor to form a magnetic loop. The motor further includes a motion translating mechanism located between the rotor and the shaft for converting the rotation of the rotor into a linear movement of the shaft.
