Abstract
A spark igniter for gas burners includes a gas collector having a passage extending between open front and rear ends. The open front end is substantially larger than the open rear end, and is positionable adjacent a gas burner for receiving gas therefrom. Gas flows into the open front end of the collector and mixes with air to form a combustible mixture. A spark igniter mounted within the gas collector passage ignites the mixture to produce a flame for igniting the gas burner. The gas collector is metal and forms the ground electrode for the spark igniter, and has an integral mounting bracket thereon.
