Abstract

An igniter having a rod-like extension that can be rotated to change the direction of the flame port in a free state and locked when the igniting action is to be done.

1 . An igniter comprising:
 an igniter body, said igniter body having a rotatable base portion;   a rod-like extension that extends from said rotatable base portion, said rod-like extension capable of rotating on said rotatable base portion with respect to said igniter body;   a lock lever capable of moving in a first direction to engage said base portion so as to interfere with the rotation of said rod-like extension.   
     
     
         2 . An igniter as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said lock lever is capable of moving in a second direction to lock an igniting lever. 
     
     
         3 . An igniter comprising:
 an igniter body, said igniter body having a rotatable base portion;   a rod-like extension rotatably mounted on said rotatable base portion, said rod-like extension being balanced by opposing weights positioned in said base portion, such that the center of rotation of the rod-like extension is between said opposing weights;   wherein said rod-like extension is held horizontal in a free state.   
     
     
         4 . An igniter as defined in  claim 3 , in which the lock lever locks the igniting action of the rod-like extension in a free state.
