Abstract: A charcoal briquette igniter for use with outdoor grills includes a pressurized fuel gas container and a burner which has a cage that surrounds the orifices to which the fuel gas issues from the burner. An airtight conduit innerconnects the burner and container so that the admixture of air and fuel transpires after the fuel gas has been discharged from the orifices, the cage under such circumstances being adapted to support the briquettes spacedly apart from the orifices and to define a compartment in which the air and combustible fuel gases mix and burn. The fuel container of the igniter is supported by a hanger that is in turn suspended from the wall of the grill brazier, the hanger being adapted to underlie a valve component that is secured to the container and to support the container at the side of the grill through its connection with the valve component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high capacity oil burner comprising a cylindrical atomizer completely surrounded by a protective cylindrical housing having a diameter from 2 to 3 times greater than the diameter of said atomizer; liquid fuels being injected under pressure into said atomizer and accumulating within said atomizer in a chamber for the accumulation of liquid fuels, and compressed air being injected into a chamber for the accumulation of air; cylindrical holes communicating said chamber for the accumulation of liquid fuels with the outside and cylindrical holes communicating said chamber for the accumulation of air with said cylindrical holes communicating the chamber for the accumulation of liquids with the outside so that the injection of compressed air into said liquid fuel discharge holes atomizes said fuel which is expelled to the outside through the end portions of said discharge holes which are circumferentially positioned to be burnt by a pilot flame; said protecting cylindrical housing

Abstract: An igniter for gas discharge pipes such as flare lines produces a remotely controlled flame. The igniter has a tubular housing that is mounted to the gas discharge pipe. A fuel line extends through the housing and terminates in a nozzle. A swirling device creates a swirling motion in the nozzle to prevent extinguishment due to high winds. An electrical system creates an electrical spark in the nozzle to ignite the fuel. An auxiliary line provides fuel unmixed with air to the nozzle to enrichen the mixture and provide coloration to the flame. The nozzle extends laterally from the housing. The mounting means allows the nozzle to discharge the flame across the face of the discharge pipe. A heat shield protects the upstream end of the housing from heat due to the discharge pipe.

Abstract: A pilot burner assembly comprises a pilot burner, a flame responsive means, and an electrode, all attached in close relationship to a common mounting bracket. The electrode is frictionally attached co-axially with an insulating sleeve and the sleeve is frictionally attached to the mounting bracket so that the spark gap between the tip of the electrode and a portion of the pilot burner is adjustable without having to bend the electrode.

Abstract: A gas lighter comprises a fuel injection pipe member having a main passage and at least one radial lateral passage, a fuel tank for liquefied fuel gas, a valve member made of resilient, flexible material and sealingly surrounding the fuel injection pipe member for selectively preventing the fuel gas from flowing therethrough and allowing the fuel gas to flow therethrough when the valve member is suitably deformed, a spark generating mechanism for generating a spark, having a tubular body, a flint, a spring and a knurled wheel, the spring disposed in a hollow cylindrical space of said tubular body for urging the flint toward the knurled wheel, a windbreak for substantially enclosing the fuel injection pipe member and retaining the spark generating mechanism therein so that the mechanism is movable downwardly against the spring, guide means for assisting the up and down movement of mechanism spark generating, and valve actuating means for deforming the valve member, including a camming surface for tilting the f

Abstract: An elongated wand defining pipe structure including inlet and outlet ends is provided.

Abstract: There is disclosed a bracket and assembly for retrofit conversion of continuous pilot burners to intermittent, on-demand pilot burners. This conversion requires the mounting of a gas ignition electrode in the assembly. The mounting bracket for accomplishing this purpose is a flat metal stamping having a web with distal apertures bearing upstanding peripheral flanges about each aperture, and two pairs of bendable tabs. The bracket is installed with one aperture received about the conventional flame sensor assembly of the pilot burner, and the bendable tabs are bent about the supporting structure to secure the bracket and to support the additional electrode required by this conversion at a predetermined spacing relative to the pilot burner where the electrode tip can be readily bent to the proper air gap for spark ignition.

Abstract: Relates to an attachment for cigarette lighters for ensuring against accidental loss or theft while at the same time providing convenient wearing and attractive display. Most cigarette lighters have been carried in independent fashion and are frequently lost or borrowed because of the absence of an attachment to a wearing garment. The present invention provides an attractive chain linkage for securing a cigarette lighter to wearing apparel, and particularly to a vest, which prevents loss of the lighter yet enables the wearer of the vest to have free use of the lighter. The chain is joined at one end to the non-flammable end of the lighter and especially the cap which seals the inlet into the lighter casing for filling the lighter with ignitable fluid. Normally, the lighter with the attached end of the chain would be carried in a vest pocket.
