Torch ignition system and ignition assembly

Abstract

An ignition assembly and a torch ignition system are described that provide a system and a device that can be coupled to a torch and can provide a spark for igniting a fuel/oxygen mixture. In an implementation in accordance with the present disclosure, a torch ignition system includes a torch including a torch body, a first gas tube and a second gas tube coupled to the torch body, and a torch tip coupled to the first gas tube and the second gas tube; and an ignition assembly configured to be positioned proximate to the torch tip to provide ignition to the torch, the ignition assembly including an igniter body, a clip that is coupled to the igniter body, the clip configured to fasten the ignition assembly to the torch, and an ignition assembly.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An ignition assembly configured to be positioned proximate to a torch tip to provide ignition to a torch, comprising:
 an igniter body,   a clip that is coupled to the igniter body, the clip configured to fasten the ignition assembly to the torch, and   an ignition device.   
     
     
         2 . The ignition assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the igniter body includes at least one hole proximate to an end of the igniter body configured to be placed proximate to the torch tip. 
     
     
         3 . The ignition assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the ignition assembly includes an electric ignition device. 
     
     
         4 . The ignition assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the electric ignition device includes a piezo igniter. 
     
     
         5 . The ignition assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the ignition assembly includes a flint assembly. 
     
     
         6 . The ignition assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the igniter assembly further comprises:
 a coupling assembly that couples the igniter assembly to the torch in a pivotable configuration.   
     
     
         7 . The ignition assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the coupling assembly includes a brace connected to the torch and the igniter assembly, where the brace includes a pivot assembly. 
     
     
         8 . The ignition assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the pivot assembly includes at least one of a pin or a bolt. 
     
     
         9 . A torch igniting system, comprising:
 a torch including
 a torch body, 
 a first gas tube and a second gas tube coupled to the torch body, and 
 a torch tip coupled to the first gas tube and the second gas tube; and 
   an ignition assembly configured to be positioned proximate to the torch tip to provide ignition to the torch, the ignition assembly including
 an igniter body, 
 a clip that is coupled to the igniter body, the clip configured to fasten the ignition assembly to the torch, and 
 an ignition assembly. 
   
     
     
         10 . The torch igniting system of  claim 9 , wherein the torch includes an acetylene torch. 
     
     
         11 . The torch igniting system of  claim 9 , wherein the igniter body includes at least one hole proximate to an end of the igniter body configured to be placed proximate to the torch tip. 
     
     
         12 . The torch igniting system of  claim 9 , wherein the ignition assembly includes an electric ignition device. 
     
     
         13 . The torch igniting system of  claim 12 , wherein the electric ignition device includes a piezo igniter. 
     
     
         14 . The torch igniting system of  claim 9 , wherein the ignition assembly includes a flint assembly. 
     
     
         15 . The torch igniting system of  claim 9 , wherein the igniter assembly further comprises:
 a coupling assembly that couples the igniter assembly to the torch in a pivotable configuration.   
     
     
         16 . A torch igniting system, comprising:
 an acetylene torch including
 a torch body, 
 a first gas tube and a second gas tube coupled to the torch body, and 
 a torch tip coupled to the first gas tube and the second gas tube; and 
   an ignition assembly pivotably coupled to the acetylene torch, where the ignition assembly is disposed proximate to the torch tip to provide ignition to the torch, the ignition assembly including
 an igniter body, 
 a clip that is coupled to the igniter body, the clip configured to fasten the ignition assembly to the torch, and 
 an ignition assembly, where at least one hole is disposed in the igniter body proximate to an end of the igniter body configured to be placed adjacent to the torch tip, where a spark from the ignition assembly ignites gas from the torch tip through the at least one hole. 
   
     
     
         17 . The torch igniting system of  claim 16 , wherein the ignition assembly includes an electric ignition device. 
     
     
         18 . The torch igniting system of  claim 17 , wherein the electric ignition device includes a piezo igniter. 
     
     
         19 . The torch igniting system of  claim 16 , wherein the ignition assembly includes a flint assembly. 
     
     
         20 . The torch igniting system of  claim 16 , wherein the ignition assembly is pivotably coupled to the acetylene torch using at least one of a pin or a bolt.
