Spinner-Function Lighter (Patented)

[Category : - Appliances and houseware- Toys and games- Heating & Cooling]
[Viewed 32 times]

This invention combines two popular consumer products into one unique device: a gas or petrol lighter with an integrated spinner function.

What it is:
A fully functional lighter that can spin smoothly between two fingers, similar to a fidget spinner. The lighter includes rotatable contact discs on both sides, connected through precision ball or glide bearings.

What problem it solves:
Conventional lighters are purely functional and lack any playful or relaxing feature. This invention adds entertainment and stress relief to an everyday object without affecting its original purpose.

What makes it better:
- Merges everyday utility (lighter) with the entertainment value of a spinner.
- Can be produced with minimal changes to existing lighter designs.
- Offers a strong marketing appeal for promotional items and lifestyle brands.
- Protected by a granted German patent (DE102018000835B3), valid until 2038.

This simple but effective innovation transforms a common product into a fun and attention-grabbing gadget with real commercial potential.

Financial information

The lighter market is one of the largest global consumer markets, with billions of units sold every year.
In Germany alone, around 310 million lighters are sold annually, generating an estimated €310 million in total revenue.
Even a small market share can therefore result in significant licensing and sales potential.

Example Calculation – Revenue at 1% Market Share:
- Total market: approx. 310,000,000 units per year
- Average retail price: €1.00 per unit
- Royalty per licensed unit: €0.10
- Target market share: 1%

Calculation:
1% of 310,000,000 = 3,100,000 units
-> 3,100,000 × €0.10 = €310,000 annual royalty revenue

Conclusion:
With just 1% market share, the invention could generate around €310,000 in annual royalties – without any production, distribution, or manufacturing effort.

This clear and transparent calculation demonstrates the strong commercial potential of the patented "Gas or petrol lighter with spinner function".
The product combines practical use with entertainment value and offers a distinct competitive advantage over conventional lighters.
