Abstract:
1. A torch comprising: a burn tube for receiving a flow of fuel; an igniter having a body and a movable plunger for creating an electric potential; means for creating a spark in the burn tube to ignite the fuel; a trigger for actuating the igniter movable between a first extended position and a second fully retracted position; the igniter body mounted for movement in said torch between a first position and a second position; an actuating switch for moving the igniter body between said first position and said second position, said igniter body when in the first position is positioned such that said plunger is engaged by the trigger when the trigger is moved from the first extended position to the second fully retracted position such that the igniter is actuated, and said igniter body when in the second position is spaced from the trigger such that as the trigger moves from said first extended position to said second fully retracted position the trigger does not contact the plunger such that actuation of the igniter is disabled.
