Claims9
An ignitor assembly for oil stoves comprising:
- an electric power supply;
- an ignitor plug held in alignment with an exposed portion of a wick for firing the wick through the utilization of discharge originated from the electric power supply to the ignitor plug;
- and
- a flame sensor disposed at a predetermined distance from the ignitor plug and in alignment with the exposed portion of the wick, said flame sensor element terminating the supply of electric power to said ignitor plug after combustion of said wick and reestablishing the supply of electric power to the ignitor plug if said wick is inadvertently extinguished while being in a predetermined operative position.
An ignitor assembly for a fuel burning stove having a wick movably mounted between an operative position wherein said wick may be ignited to consume fuel and provide heat and an inoperative position wherein said wick is extinguished comprising:
- an ignitor plug being positioned in alignment with said wick when said wick is in said operative position;
- an electric power supply for selectively supplying power to said ignitor plug to fire said wick when said wick is in said operative position;
- and
- a flame sensor disposed at a predetermined distance from the ignitor plug and being in alignment with said wick when said wick is in said operative position;
- said flame sensor terminating the supply of electric power to said ignitor plug after combustion of said wick and reestablishing the supply of electric power to the ignitor plug if said wick is inadvertently extinguished while being in a predetermined operative position.
