Claim 3:
4. A portable flame propelling system comprising:
a vessel having an opening positioned in a top thereof;
a flammable liquid positioned in the vessel;
a handle engaged to the vessel and extending from the opening, wherein the handle is configured for grasping in a hand of a user;
a nozzle engaged to the handle and extending therefrom;
a pumping unit operationally engaged to and being in fluidic communication with the nozzle and the vessel, such that, the pumping unit is positioned for propelling the flammable liquid from the vessel through the nozzle, the pumping unit comprises a spray bottle pump operationally engaged to and in fluidic communication with a first tube and a second tube, the spray bottle pump being positioned in the handle, the first tube extending from the spray bottle pump to proximate to a bottom of the vessel, the second tube extending from the spray bottle pump to proximate to the nozzle;
an igniter engaged to the handle proximate to the nozzle, such that the igniter is positioned for igniting the flammable liquid passing through the nozzle; and
an actuator engaged to the handle and being operationally engaged to the pumping unit and the igniter wherein each of the pumping unit and the igniter are activated upon direct contact with the actuator, wherein the actuator is configured for being engaged by a digit of the hand of the user for selectively actuating the pumping unit and the igniter such that a flame is propelled from the nozzle, wherein the actuator comprises a lever hingedly engaged to the handle, wherein the lever is configured for being selectively levered by action of one or more digits of the hand of the user, such that the lever engages the spray bottle pump by direct contact for propelling the flammable liquid from the vessel through the nozzle, and such that the lever directly contacts the piezoelectric element for generating an electric current, which flows across the spark gap, such that the flammable liquid is heated and ignited and such that a flame is propelled from the nozzle for discouraging an attack by an animal.
