2. In a gas engine, a suitable device, substantially as described and shown, by means of which a permanent whirling flame for igniting the combustible charge is produced, combined with a chamber inclosing said flame.
3. In a gas-engine, a compression-chamber, a reservoir constantly in free communication I therewith, and a reservoir in valved communication therewith, combined with a lighter supplied from the combustible charge contained in said valved reservoir, substantially as described.
4 In an igniter device, the combination of a valve-chamber with a communicating ignition-chamber having an inclined relation to said valve-chamber, and a puppet-valve controlling the communication of said ignition chamber with a permanent lighter and with the cylinder charge, substantially as described.
5. In an igniter, device, the combination of a valve chamber, and all ignition-chamber with a suitable device, substantially as described by means of which a permanent whirling flame for igniting the combustible charge is maintained within said ignition chamber, said ignition-chamber being formed in the casing opening into the side of said valve-chamber, with a puppet-valve controlling the supply and exhaust ports of the valve-chamber and the said ignition-chamber.
6 The combination, in an igniter device for gas engines of a valve chamber with an ignition-chamber formed in the valve-casing opening into said valve-chamber and having one or more circumferential grooves, and a valve controlling the supply and exhaust ports of both chambers, substantially as de scribed.

8. In combination, in an igniter device for gas-engines, a valve casing having a valve chamber open at its upper end, an ignition chamber opening into said valve-chamber at its side and a permanent-lighter chamber opening into the top of said valve-chamber, and a valve adapted to operate to close said valve and ignition chambers, substantially as described.
9; In an igniter device for gas engines a chamber containing a combustible charge, a suitable device, substantially as shown, by periodically opening communication between the chamber containing the intermittent lighter, the chamber containing the permanent lighter, and the charge.
10. In an igniter device for gas engines, a valve-containing casing having a permanent lighter chamber opening into the valve-chamber and having a tangential passage communicating with a source of supply, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.
11. In an ignition device for gas engines, a chamber containing a valve-containing casing having an ignition-chamber provided with a tangential passage leading into the cylinder supply passage, and a permanent-lighter chamber-having a, tangential passage leading to a constant source of supply, substantially as described.
12, In an igniter device for gas engines, a valve-containing casing having three intersecting chambers b, b', and d, the chambers b and d opening into the chamber b', combined with a valve adapted to control the chambers b and b' and the passage e, as herein set forth.
13. In an igniter device for gas engines, a valve containing casing having three intersecting chambers b, b', and d, the chamber b opening into the side of the chamber b', and the case part forming the chamber d extending into the open end of the chamber b'6, combined with a valve adapted to telescope with the said chamber forming case part d in closing the chambers b and d, substantially as described, for the purpose specified,
14. In an igniter device for gas engines, a valve-containing casing having three intersecting chambers; a valve-chamber, an ignition-chamber, and a permanent lighter chamber; the chamber d having a tangential supply passage d, and the chamber b having a tangential side opening intersecting a semicircular passage b4, having a tangential branch leading to the cylinder supply-passage, as herein set forth.
15. In an igniter device for gas engines, a valve-containing casing having three intersecting chambers, an enclosed permanent lighter chamber provided with a passage adapted to direct the supply of gas and flame in a whirling course therein, an ignition-chamber having a passage adapted to direct the supply of gas and flame therein in a whirling direction, and a valve-chamber within which the whirling flame-currents meet, combined with a valve for operating the igniter, substantially as described.
16. In an ignition device for gas engines, a permanent-lighter device consisting of a hollow cylinder having a tangential supply passage and opening into the valve-chamber, whereby under the pressure of the inflow of gas the flame is projected from said permanent lighter as the means of lighting the charge, substantially as described.
17. In an igniter device for gas engines, a valve-containing casing having an ignition chamber in perpetual communication with the supply-passage for the engine, in combination with a case part forming an enclosed permanent-lighter chamber having a constant supply entering said chamber tangentially, substantially as described.
18. In an igniter device for gas engines, a valve-containing casing having an ignition chamber intersecting the valve-chamber at an angle at one side of the latter and having the angle of such junction recessed or cut away, for the purpose stated.
19. In an igniter device for gas engines, the valve-casing having the valve-chamber b', opening into a top exhaust-passage d2, an ignition-chamber b, opening into the side of the valve-chamber, and having a hollow cylinder depending from the top of the casing into the said valve-chamber and having suitable supply-passages for said chambers, in combination with a valve adapted to operate the ports of said chambers, substantially as described.
