Abstract
An ignition unit for a lighter includes a striker wheel sandwiched between two driving units wherein each of the driving units includes a driven gear element and a driving cap. The striker wheel urges against a flint with its toothed surface of generating sparks. One of the driving caps is normally rotated about the respective driven gear element in a free rotatably movable manner unless a downward force is intentionally applied on the driving cap while rotating the driving cap to drive the respective driven gear element and said striker wheel to rotate for striking against the flint to produce sparks.
