Abstract: A discharge-type capable of accomplishing ignition of a wick at a position convenient or suitable for the ignition. Spark discharge for ignition of a wick is started in the course of raising of the wick. Thus, any possible variation in height of the wick and deformation of the wick due to wear do not adversely affects ignition of the wick, because the ignition is carried out when a gap between the wick being raised and the discharge electrode is rendered optimum for the ignition. This permits a dry cell to be satisfactorily used as a power supply for the ignition.

Abstract: A safety device for preventing uncontrolled burning in wick-fed liquid fuel burners employs an excess fuel containment compartment (24) which receives any excess fuel which might be fed to the fuel supply chamber (40). The excess fuel causes a receptacle (20) in the compartment to move downward. Through a retaining arm (82) and actuating arm (78), such movement communicates with a removable tank lift mechanism in response to the excess fuel condition. Also the mechanism prevents re-insertion of the removable tank (60) to its proper seating position until the danger of flareup is removed. This safety device also alerts the user of the liquid fuel burner to a dangerous condition by a mechanism comprising a highly visible warning gauge needle (34). In addition, the burner can be readily serviced and restored to operation should an excess fuel malfunction occur.

First and second discharge electrodes are arranged in proximity to the wick when it is raised to a combustion position. An ignition switch is kept turned on in the course of upward movement of the wick for ignition, so that spark discharge is generated between the discharge electrodes toward the wick being raised. The wick is raised to an uppermost position beyond the combustion position every time when the ignition operation is carried out, so that ignition may take place at any optimum position of the wick.

Abstract: A safety device for preventing uncontrolled burning in wick-fed liquid fuel burners employs an excess fuel containment compartment (24) which receives any excess fuel which might be fed from a removable tank (60) through a spring-loaded valve in the removable tank cap (61) into fuel supply chamber (40). The excess fuel causes a receptacle (20) in the compartment to move downward. Through a retaining arm (82) and lever (66) such movement activates a pin-drop mechanism. Activation of the pin-drop mechanism closes off the valve in the removable tank cap. Also the mechanism prevents re-opening of the fuel tank valve until the danger of flareup is removed. This safety device also alerts the user of the liquid fuel burner to a dangerous condition by a mechanism comprising a warning gauge needle (34). In addition, the burner can be readily serviced and restored to operation should an excess fuel malfunction occur.
