## Abstract

The present invention relates to a gas combustor, which includes a casing unit of the gas combustor and a detachable ignition module, the detachable ignition module is to have an igniter being modularized as a single unit, thereby being enabled to be inserted in or removed from an insertion slot preformed on a surface of the casing unit of the gas combustor, and a cathode connecting joint and a anode connecting joint of the detachable ignition module are respectively in contact with or separated from an electric conductive wire installed in the insertion slot, thereby establishing or terminating an electric connection, so the inconvenience and possible danger of replacing the igniter by the user himself is avoided.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A gas combustor, including:
a casing unit, a surface thereof being formed with an insertion slot, the interior of said insertion slot being installed with an electric conductive wire being in contact with a combustion device; and
a detachable ignition module, having an enveloping member installed with an igniter therein, a push rod, a cathode connecting joint and an anode connecting joint of said igniter being respectively protruded from a front, a rear and aside opening formed on said enveloping member, and a push button being connected to said push rod, thereby allowing said push button to push said push rod; through said detachable ignition module being inserted in or removed from said insertion slot, said cathode connecting joint and said anode connecting joint of said detachable ignition module being respectively in contact with or separated from said electric conductive wire installed in said insertion slot, thereby establishing or terminating an electric connection;
wherein the top and the bottom surface at the front of said enveloping member are oppositely and protrudingly formed with a pair of positioning tenons protruding from the top surface and the bottom surface, one lateral surface thereof is formed with an accommodating hole allowing said anode connecting joint to be positioned and protruded, the top and the bottom surface at the rear of said push button are horizontally and oppositely formed with a pair of elongated buckle racks connected to said pair of positioning tenons, said positioning tenons are inserted into said pair of elongated buckle racks.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The gas combustor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said electric conductive wire includes a first and a second electric conductive spring.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The gas combustor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said push button is a cap member having a non-symmetrical shape, an inner wall at the front of said push button is formed with a connection hole allowing said push rod to be received, two sides at the rear of said push button are oppositely formed with a pair of elastic buckle hooks so as to be buckled at inner edges of two lateral walls of said insertion slot.

### Claim 4

A detachable ignition module used in a gas combustor, including:
an igniter, the front and the rear thereof being respectively installed with a push rod and a cathode connecting joint, a lateral side thereof being extended with an conductive wire, one free end of said conductive wire being connected to an anode connecting joint; and
an enveloping member, used for enveloping said igniter, and said push rod, said cathode connecting joint and said anode connecting joint being respectively protruded from a front, a rear and a side opening formed on said enveloping member, and a push button being connected to said push rod, thereby allowing said push button to push said push rod;
wherein the top and the bottom surface at the front of said enveloping member are oppositely and protrudingly formed with a pair of positioning tenons protruding from the top surface and the bottom surface, one lateral surface thereof is formed with an accommodating hole allowing said anode connecting joint to be positioned and protruded, the top and the bottom surface at the rear of said push button are horizontally and oppositely formed with a pair of elongated buckle racks connected to said pair of positioning tenons, said positioning tenons are inserted into said pair of elongated buckle racks.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The detachable ignition module used in a gas combustor as claimed in claim 4, wherein said push button is a cap member having a non-symmetrical shape, an inner wall at the front of said push button is formed with a connection hole allowing said push rod to be received, two sides at the rear of said push button are oppositely formed with a pair of elastic buckle hooks.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The detachable ignition module used in a gas combustor as claimed in claim 4, wherein said anode connecting joint is formed with an insertion hole allowing one free end of said conductive wire to be inserted, the periphery of said anode connecting joint is formed with a mount slot, an inner wall of said accommodating hole is annularly formed with at least a mount tenon capable of being mutually mounted with said mount slot of said anode connecting joint.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

The detachable ignition module used in a gas combustor as claimed in claim 4, wherein said accommodating hole is formed in a sleeve cylinder protruding from one lateral surface of said enveloping member, thereby allowing said anode connecting joint to be protruded out of said sleeve cylinder.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

The detachable ignition module used in a gas combustor as claimed in claim 4, wherein said enveloping member consists of a left shell and a right shell engaging with each other, the top and the bottom at the rear side of said left and said right shell are oppositely formed with an engaging piece which is provided with at least a buckle tenon and a buckle hole capable of being mutually buckled, so after said buckle tenon and said buckle hole of said left and said right shell are buckled, said enveloping member having a tubular front and a tubular rear opening is formed.
