are formed integrally with each of the upstanding fingers 50 and 50a and are located adjacent the bottom thereof such as depicted in fig1 3 and 5 as illustrated ribs 58 serve to support the bottom of the pocket lighter 12 in a firm manner such ribs 58 are dimensioned to ensure that the operative components 16 of lighter 12 will whenever the latter is in the inserted position be exposed for normal operation thereof by a user now referring to the weighted member or means 20 the illustrated embodiment depicts it as a generally elliptically shaped member having mounting opening 60 which also has a generally elliptical shape opening 60 has a pair of diametrically opposed cut outs 62 the opening 60 with cut outs 62 are suitably formed to permit weighted means 20 being peripherally mounted about the upstanding fingers 50 and 50a as above mentioned the weight 20 assumes a horizontal position adjacent the bottom of such upstanding retaining and supporting fingers 50 and 50a it is being kept in mind of course that the retaining ribs 28 tend to secure the weight 20 in the depicted position instead of weight 20 being retained by ribs 28 of the type mentioned it may also cooperate with crushable ribs as to retain its position accordingly this particular structural relation of components serves to advantageously enhance stability of the lighter housing 10 by reason of the latter having a low center of gravity moreover.
