Abstract
A device for igniting combustible means, especially solid combustibles such as wood, charcoal, and similar. The device includes a pressurized receptacle that is filled with a combustible medium, a spring-loaded actuating valve which selectively opens and closes a discharge port of the receptacle, preferably by applying pressure with a fingertip, and a top part that is joined to the discharge port and has a tubular extension having an adequate length.
Claims30
A device for igniting combustible materials, including solid fuels, the device comprising:
- a container under pressure and filled with a combustible medium;
- a spring-loaded actuating valve selectively opening and closing a discharge opening of the container by pressure,
- a headpiece connected with the discharge opening;
- a corrugated tube fastened to an outlet of the headpiece;
- a flexible hose pushed in a frictionally connected manner onto the corrugated tube;
- and
- a tube-shaped extension of a suitable length fastened to an end of the flexible hose facing away from the headpiece, wherein an inner diameter of the flexible hose is larger than an inner diameter of each of the corrugated tube and the tube-shaped extension.
