Abstract
A closure for a liquid or a semi-liquid fuel can having an ignitable wick is provided. The wick is mounted to the can closure with a coil spring structure so that the wick can be depressed and extended relative to the upper surface of the can closure. A recessed portion is defined in the upper surface of the canned closure for receiving the wick in its depressed condition and the compressed wick is retained therewithin with a peelable seal. Removal of the peelable seal allows the wick and coil stem assembly to extend to an operating position wherein the wick can be easily ignited.
