Description

Seonghwabong{Torch}

The present invention relates to a torch rod for use in a torch rod.

In general, torch relays are used for large-scale sports events such as the Olympics, Asian Games, and national sports events. In the torch relay, several runners carry torch rods and run..

The torch should not be turned off irrespective of the weather, and it is particularly desirable that the flame when it is first lit is maintained and transmitted to the torch of the sports stadium.

In particular, the flame of the torch is likely to be extinguished by wind or rain.

The torch rod is known to maintain a high fuel discharge pressure by increasing the pressure inside the fuel can to prevent the flame from extinguishing. However, in order to implement such a technology, an additional configuration is required to maintain safety even under high pressure, and thus the configuration becomes complicated, the weight becomes heavy, and the manufacturing cost is high.

In addition, conventionally known torch rods have a problem that a general user cannot use because the fuel can is replaced by a device that separates the upper and lower portions of the torch rod so that the fuel can is visible and ejects gas.

In addition, the conventionally known torch rod is a method in which a professional manpower waits next to the torch rod and installs a fuel can on the torch rod to deliver it to a late torch rod runner, and it takes a long time and several people spend time together.
