Abstract
A gas control mechanism includes a housing having a chamber for receiving a lighter and having an upper wall and a mouth secured on top. The lighter has a gas nozzle and a pivot lever having one end coupled to the gas nozzle. A tube has one end extended through the upper wall and coupled to the mouth and has a gasket secured to the bottom for engaging with the gas nozzle. The gasket includes an orifice for receiving gas from the gas nozzle. A spring may bias the gasket to engage with the gas nozzle, and a trigger may actuate the lever to actuate the gas nozzle. The gas nozzle is forced to engage with the gasket and to make an air tight seal between the tube and the gas nozzle when the gas nozzle is actuated by the trigger via the lever.
