IGNITER

摘要

An igniter where the orientation of a flame nozzle rod section, extending in a rod-like manner and having a flame nozzle on the head, is readily changeable relative to a body section having a gas reservoir. This enables the flame nozzle rod section to be directed to a point of ignition, improving operability of ignition. The igniter has a body section (2) with a gas reservoir (5) for storing a liquefied gas as a fuel and has a flame nozzle rod section (3) extending in a rod-like manner from the body section (2) and having on the head a flame nozzle (31) for jetting a gas flame. A base section (33) of the flame nozzle rod section (3) is pivotally supported at the body section (2), the angle between the body section (2) and the flame nozzle rod section (3) is varied in a free state to change the orientation of the flame nozzle (31), and, in igniting operation, the angle between the body section (2) and the flame nozzle rod section (3) is fixed. Preferably, the igniter may further have a lock lever (10) for locking igniting operation in the free state. A balance weight for constantly maintaining the flame nozzle rod section (3) in a horizontal state may be provided.
