Abstract
A simulated flame torch which gives a student the opportunity to light a simulated furnace using the simulated torch without actually starting a fire and incurring a potential fire hazard. The apparatus comprises a hollow shaft that is attached to a handle; a plurality of light pipes connected to the shaft near its bottom; a source of electric power contained within the shaft; a plurality of electric lamps coupled to the power source; and means for turning the lamps on so that light will be transmitted through the light pipes simulating a flame when the light moves through the air. Thus, the device can be used to teach a student the proper procedure for handling a lighted torch.
