Gas powered cigarette lighter with flint ignition

The housing (11) of the lighter (10) contains a conventional refillable gas reservoir (14), and a friction wheel flint igniter (18). When the gas release button (19) is held down and a spark generated by the friction wheel, a flame emerges from the aperture (17) on the top of the housing. At the same time, the button presses down a spring contact (20) making a supply circuit between internal batteries (16) and a printed circuit board (30). On the circuit board is a solid state memory, with an audio signal stored in digital form. The signal, which may be a melody or short spoken message, is converted into analogue form, amplified and fed to a speaker (13).
