Abstract
A lighter includes a liquid gas container having an inside formed with a receiving space, a press member pivotally mounted on the liquid gas container, and a control member movably mounted in the receiving chamber of the press member. Thus, the slide knob has to proceed a substantially L-shaped movement to trigger the igniter and to light the lighter, so that the lighter cannot be operated easily and unintentionally, thereby providing a double safety effect. In addition, the control member is integrally formed with the slide knob and the locking flange, so that the slide knob co-operates with the locking flange to perform the locking and unlocking actions conveniently and actually, thereby enhancing operation of the safety switch structure of the lighter.
