| (54) | Ignition device for oil burner |
| (57) Provided herein is an ignition device for an oil burner, which may maintain stable
ignition performance without the need of ignition means such as a match and a lighter.
A combustion wick (3) is disposed in a space formed between an inner combustion wick
cylinder (1) and an outer combustion wick cylinder (2). An ignition electrode (4)
is provided to face a portion of the combustion wick (3), which is exposed above the
inner and outer combustion wick cylinders (1) and (2). Also provided is a generator
(15) capable of generating electricity by means of a manual rotating operation. A
charging circuit (21) is connected to an output of the generator (15) to charge an
electricity storing means (20) with an output of the charging circuit (21). The electric
power generated by the manually rotated generator (15) is stored in the electricity
storing means (20). The electric power is supplied from the electricity storing means
(20) to the high-voltage oscillation circuit (5) by means of the ignition operation
using an ignition switch (19). Then, the high-voltage oscillation circuit (5) is activated
to cause spark discharge to occur at the ignition electrode to ignite the combustion
wick (3).
