Abstract
A discharge-type capable of accomplishing ignition of a wick at a position convenient or suitable for the ignition. Spark discharge for ignition of a wick is started in the course of raising of the wick. Thus, any possible variation in height of the wick and deformation of the wick due to wear do not adversely affects ignition of the wick, because the ignition is carried out when a gap between the wick being raised and the discharge electrode is rendered optimum for the ignition. This permits a dry cell to be satisfactorily used as a power supply for the ignition.
