#1658: LampLighter

Today’s invention is a torch which has the usual battery-powered bulb, but which also accommodates a number of disposable lighters (now that these are no longer needed for smoking purposes).

Each lighter is enclosed by a Davy-lamp mesh.

Tightening the battery slot hatch, makes the lamp’s battery circuit and also forces the lighter switch up against a wedge which ignites it.

The lighters provide a cheap additional source of illumination, which is potentially longer-lasting than regular battery duration.
