Law/Patents - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / lighter
English term or phrase: crow plate
"The lighter is made of a casing, a gas valve assembly, a piezoelectric assembly, a press trigger, a crow plate, which is set between the gas valve assembly and the piezoelectric assembly, causing both to act in a coordinate manner."
Any idea for crow plate? Thank you.

Explanation:
"crow's-foot" can be "patte d'oie" - perhaps "patine à patte d'oie", but this is really a total guess. I'm just thinking that the "patte d'oie" reference might give you some avenues to explore.
