A torch including:
- a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a left side, and a right side, and a first portion and a second portion angled relative to the first portion, the first and second portions having top surfaces adjacent to each other and defined by the top surface of the body, bottom surfaces adjacent to each other and defined by the bottom surface of the body, and sides corresponding to the left and right sides of the body;
- a control knob on the top surface of the second portion for adjusting a flow of fuel through the torch;
- a trigger on the top surface of the first portion that is movable from an off position to an on position to actuate an igniter, the trigger including a trigger body and a deflectable tab fixedly projecting from a front of the trigger body, the deflectable tab having a catch extending upward toward the top surface of the first portion for engaging a ledge in the body to lock the trigger in the on position;
- a pivot arm coupled to the trigger and pivotable about a pivot in the first portion;
- a seesaw disposed in the first portion and pivotable about another pivot in the first portion, the seesaw having a first arm that slidably engages the pivot arm to effect movement of the seesaw;
