Combined cigarette and chart/map lighter

Abstract

A combined cigarette and chart/map lighter includes a elongated plug body which is adapted to cooperate with a socket connected to a source of electrical energy. An ignitor coil and cup are formed at a first end of the plug body, and a lamp socket, for receipt of a light bulb, is disposed interiorly of the plug body at a central portion of the plug body. A removable cap is formed at the second end of the plug body. A leaf spring electrical contact is provided within the plug body and is biased into engagement with a ground formed by the interior shell of the plug body. A cam follower is formed at the end of the leaf spring contact. A plastic generally U-shaped reciprocal element has linear cams formed at the free ends of each of the legs of the U, the linear cams capable of engaging the leaf spring cam follower and moving the leaf spring out of contact with the ground. When the leaf spring is out of contact with ground and the plug is in operative association with the socket, a light bulb received by the lamp socket is illuminated and light shines through an opening formed in the plug body between the lamp socket and the second end. When the leaf contact is in engagement with ground and the plug engages the socket, then the ignitor coil heats up.
