BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a torch.

[0003] 2. Related Prior Art

[0004] As disclosed in Taiwanese Patent Publication No. 524304, a refilling device is provided for a torch. The refilling device includes a tube 2, a rod 3, a spring 4, a washer 5, a ring 6 and a C-clip 7. The spring 4, the washer 5, the ring 6 and the C-clip 7 are installed on the rod 3. The rod is put in the tube 2. With this conventional device, the torch can be refilled with fuel. However, there is not control over the amount of the fuel refilled in the torch. If the torch is excessively refilled, the fuel will be spread in the liquid state instead of the gaseous state. The gas goes further in the liquid state than in the gaseous state. The fuel is more dangerous in the liquid state than in the gaseous state. Therefore, this conventional refilling device is dangerous and impractical.

[0005] The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0006] According to the present invention, there is provided a torch. The torch includes a reservoir, a head, a base and a refilling device. The head is attached to an end of the reservoir. An igniter is installed on a side of the head. A nozzle is installed on an opposite side of the head. An eccentric aperture is in communication with the nozzle. The base is attached to an opposite end of the reservoir. The refilling device is installed on the base. The reservoir can be refilled with fuel through the refilling device.

[0007] The primary advantage of the torch of the present invention is to provide safety for a user by ensuring the fuel leaves the reservoir only in the gaseous state.

[0008] Other advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description referring to the attached drawings.
