Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for igniting gas emitted through a tip of gas a burning torch. The apparatus includes means having an electrode which discharges a spark for igniting the gas emitted through the tip. A frame is used to support the gas igniting means on the torch and permits movement of the electrode from a stored position to an igniting position, so that upon discharge of the spark, the gas emitted from the tip is ignited. A hanger is adapted to fit a portion of the torch to attach the frame to the torch so that the frame is usable with different torches by using a different hanger.
