Double-Claw Series

Balanced Mechanical Engagement in Automatic Fluid Lighter Design

The Double-Claw Series represents an evolved automatic ignition system within the THORENS fluid lighter lineup.
Building upon the principles established by the Single-Claw mechanism, this design employs two mechanically synchronized claws to engage the flint wheel, creating a more evenly distributed ignition force during lid opening.

Machined from solid brass and assembled with precise tolerances, the dual-claw structure enhances mechanical balance and consistency. By distributing contact across two points, the mechanism delivers a stable, repeatable ignition sequence while preserving the tactile resistance and metallic feedback expected from a mechanical fluid lighter.

The Double-Claw Series is suited for users who value mechanical symmetry and controlled operation, whether for everyday carry, desk use, or inclusion in a mechanical lighter collection. Its automatic action remains intentional rather than effortless, reinforcing the connection between motion, resistance, and ignition.

Within the THORENS mechanical lineage, the Double-Claw Series serves as a refined counterpart to the original Single-Claw system. Certain configurations further incorporate wind-resistant STORM designs, extending usability in outdoor or variable conditions while maintaining the integrity of the core dual-claw mechanism.
