Abstract: The blower/ignition/electrical system supplies the air, spark, and electrical power to facilitate and control the fuel combustion in a heat exchanger for devices which output a fluid, such as a pressure washer. The system is belt driven as an intricate part of the mechanical power system used for the fluid pressure pump. The flange/magnet hub spins past the ignition coil which in turn produces a high voltage electrical source. This potential is applied across the electrode gap to ignite a fuel. The flange magnet hub also spins past a stator coil assembly which in turn produces an alternating current. This current can be rectified or left unrectified, and is wired to a switch. When the switch is activated, the current path is through the safety control devices (such as temperature control, pressure switch or flow switch) and the fuel solenoid valve which controls the fuel flow into the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A portable catalytically heatable appliance is provided.

The ignition system includes a piezoelectric device that causes a voltage potential to form between the electrode and the catalytic support structure. A spark jumps from the electrode to an interior surface of the structure and ignites the fuel inside the structure, causing a flame to propagate. The flame heats the catalytic structure to an activation temperature, after which the fuel is combusted flamelessly on the surface of the catalytic structure.

Abstract: The portable burning device includes a gas tank, a coupling seat, a piezo-electric means, a control means, a gas release means, an outer tube unit and a shell. In use, a knob is turned in a counter-clockwise direction to cause a projection of an adjusting rod to retreat so as to be separated from a neck hole of a shaft such that fuel gas may be induced via an intake tube into a gas duct. The pressure of the fuel gas is regulated by a pressure regulating means to accelerate flow of the fuel gas into a shaft hole. The fuel gas then passes through the neck hole and a shaft opening and is ejected via a gas nozzle. The current of gas thus generated draws in ambient air via an air vent into a mixing tube. The mixture of gas and air flows through a gear seat and is ejected via a central gear hole and a plurality of gear ducts defined between adjacent teeth of a gear. By pressing a push button at this point, electrostatic sparks generated by the piezo-electric means will ignite the mixture.

Abstract: A safety device comprising a locking mechanism for a gas lighter. A latch is fixed beneath the pushbutton and it comprises an upside-down U-shaped resilient portion occupying a vertical plane. The bottom end of the U-Shape is closed by an arm carrying retractable stops. In the locked position, the stops prevent the pushbutton from moving downwards and consequently prevent gas escaping from the lighter. The invention applies to increasing safety, particularly when children are concerned.
