DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE IGNITER

摘要

An igniter such as may be utilized in agriculture for providing abundant quantities of hot gas and/or hot particles to ignite burners and/or combustible material in the event of low temperature. Involved are a novel cartridge-containing housing and easily operated breech mechanism, with the cartridge arranged to be fired in a very dependable and repeatable manner at such time as freezing temperatures have caused an elongation of an actuator associated with the cartridge-triggering mechanism. Alternatively, the actuator for causing a triggering of the cartridge may be caused to elongate by fuel pressure being supplied to the burners to be ignited by the igniters.
