Abstract
A cigarette lighter adapter formed from two complementary members that form a cylindrically shaped housing having an axial end with an annular recess, and a ring that fits within the annular recess and secures the two complementary portions together. The ring is configured to fit entirely within the annular recess and to fill the recess completely, making removal without destroying the ring or the housing virtually impossible. Preferably, the ring is configured to snap fit into the annular recess. Additional means for securing the two members may also be provided, preferably at a location removed from the first axial end.
