A striker for a gas burning tool comprising:
- a. an affixing member for affixing the striker to the gas discharge end of a gas-burning tool with a radially projecting mounting tab;
- b. a guide member comprising two parallel, coequally sized pieces wherein the guide member is hingedly attached to the radially projecting mounting tab and the two parallel, coequally sized pieces are attached at the other end by means of a mounting element;
- c. wherein a flint is mounted to the tip of a screw and this screw passes through the mounting element wherein the flint contacts an abrasive layer on a sparking wheel mounted between the two parallel, coequally sized pieces;
- d. wherein the sparking wheel is driven by a spring mounted between the two parallel, coequally sized pieces where the spring protrudes above the top of the two parallel, coequally sized pieces when the guide member is rotated so that the mounting element is away from the gas discharge end of a gas-burning tool;
- e. wherein the spring drives the sparking wheel when the guide member is rotated towards the gas discharge end of the gas-burning tool and the part of the spring that protrudes above the top of the two parallel, coequally sized pieces when the guide member is rotated so that the mounting element is away from the gas discharge end of a gas-burning tool is pressed against the gas discharge end of the gas-burning tool.
