Patent ID: 7551420

Claim:
A retractable igniter for igniting a combustible source, comprising: a) an ignition chamber, retractable, upper ending an internal pipe with an aperture sized to be exposed to a combustible environment at a time of igniting the combustible source; b) an electrode, surrounded by an insulating empty space, wrapped in an electrical insulating block, with a bottom insulating terminal, and ended in an electric terminal; c) an electrical high voltage assembly, inside an insulating box and connected to the electric terminal via an electric cable; d) an internal pipe, encasing the electrode for displacement at the time of igniting said combustible source; e) an external pipe, encasing the internal pipe for protecting the internal pipe; and f) an activation lever, limiting the displacement of the internal pipe, for exposing the electrode within the ignition chamber at the time of igniting said combustible source.
