Claim 1:
2. An igniter device comprising:
an outer housing;
an inner holder for a piezo electric ignition source, the inner holder being positioned within and movable relative to the outer housing;
the inner holder comprising a first end and a second end;
the first end of the inner holder being arranged to be coupled to a piezo electric ignition source including an actuator;
the second end of the inner holder having a surface configured to receive a tip of an oxy fuel torch and including an aperture to allow passage of gas through the second end of the inner holder; and
an attachment means to releasably attach the igniter device to a support member;
wherein, when the inner holder is moved relative to the outer housing from a first position to a second position by pressing the tip of the oxy fuel torch against the surface, the actuator moves from a relaxed state to a compressed state to thereby activate the piezo electric ignition source to produce a spark for igniting the oxy fuel torch to produce a flame when the igniter device is attached to the support member.
