Abstract: Liquefied gas igniter having a closure device and a non-regulable limiter for the outwardly directed gas flow. This limiter device comprises a microporous membrane held captive both in its peripheral zone and in its central zone by a first retaining means and a second retaining means; the first retaining means has at least one passage communicating with the reservoir of the igniter, each passage on the membrane side facing a portion of the membrane which is in contact with the second retaining means.
