In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a handy compact torch comprising a handy lighter having a container for fuel gas, an injection nozzle for discharging the fuel gas, and a push button for controlling the supply of the fuel gas to the injection nozzle. A holder accommodates the handy lighter and a torch body is detachably mounted on top of the holder, the torch body having a torch nozzle and a connecting pipe provided at the rear end of the torch nozzle adapted to be connected to the injection nozzle of the handy lighter. A depressible firing button emits sparks at the tip of the torch nozzle, and a link is secured to the firing button to press down the push button of the lighter when the firing button is pressed down.
After accommodating a lighter in the holder, the torch body is mounted on top of the holder. In this state, the injection nozzle of the lighter communicates with the torch nozzle through the connecting pipe.
By depressing the firing button, the push button connected to the firing button by the link mechanism is pushed down. Thus the fuel gas in the lighter will flow through the injection nozzle and the connecting pipe and will be discharged from the tip of the torch nozzle. The fuel gas discharged from the torch nozzle is fired by sparks produced by depressing the firing button, bursting into flames.By releasing the fire button, the push button of the lighter will return upwards. Thus the supply of fluid gas is cut off and the flame at the torch nozzle goes out.
