G. L. HAMMON HEATING TORCH A Filed March 22, 1950 NNN /NVf/Vmf. G20/'ge L. hmmvm- Arron/vm:
Patented Dec. 8, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GEORGE I. EAMMON, Ol' SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ABSIGNOB TO NATIONAL WELD- ING EQUIPMENT COMPANY INCORPORATED, OF BAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA HEATING TORCH Application illed Iarch 22, 1830. Serial No. 488,117.
This invention relates to improvements in heating torches, or blowpipes, and more particularly to the nozzle of the torches of the type in which as and com ressed air are mixed and ignlted to pro uce a heating flame.
To those skilled in this art it is known that the use of natural gas in this type of torch provides a very effective heating iame, but
a diicult has developed, in that, when a large or ong heating flame is required, it tends to blow out, and the object of the invention is to provide means to prevent the flame from blowing out in any variation of 16 the flame from small to large.
Another object is to provide a nozzle with multiple iiames surrounding the end of the nozzle and the heating flame.,
Another object is the construction of a nozzle having an inner igniting iiame adjacent to and surrounding the nozzle tip, and another igniting iiame concentric to the inner flame, whereby a short, or small heating iiame will be kept ignited by the inner ame,
23 and a long or large heating flame will be kept ignited by the outer igniting flame and thus provide for wide variations 1n the heating flame without having it blow out.
Another object of the device is to provide means for supplying the igniting flames with gas mixture from the main stream of the mixture as it blows through the nozzle.
Another object is the provision of means for mixing the gas and air as it enters the nozzle.
Other objects will appear as the description progresses.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout the several views, and of which there may be modifications.
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the nozzle and gas and air supply head with a portion of the pipes.
Figure 2 is an end view looking from the left of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a section taken on line 5-5 of Figure 6 showing a modied form of the invention.
Figure 6 is a sectional view of a moded form of nozzle.
The numeral 1 indicates the outer shell of a nozzle, and 2 the tip center iece, which has the opening 3 leading to the s ightly enlarged chamber 4.
The tip has the iiange 5 which fits the outer shell tightly. At the feed end of the nozzle is a plug 6 which is secured to the shell by screw threads or other suitable means. This plug has integral therewith, a tubular member 8 projecting forward to the flan e 5 formingan inner annular chamber 9 an the outer annular chamber 10.
The two chambers 9 and 10 are connected by small spaced holes 11 and the chamber 9 is connected to the chamber 4 by a series of small holes 12.
The iange 5 has the annular row of holes 13 communicating with the chamber 9, and the annular row of holes 14 concentric to the row of holes 13 communicates with the chamber 10. The as supply head 15 is connected the nozzle y means of the screw threads The chamber 17 is provided, and in the chamber is the mixer 18 comprising the cylindrical end members 19 and 20 and the connecting member 21, adapted to space the end members to form a mixing chamber 22 between the members.
Compressed air is admitted throu h the port 23 from the supply pipe 24. T is air flows through the holes 25 into the mixing chamber and is met by the gas from the port 26 in the gas supply pipe 27, it being suitably mixed as it passes through the holes 28 into the chamber 4.
In operation the gas and air are turned on in suitable proportions, and are mixed as they pass into the nozzle. The opening 3 being smaller thaan the chamber 4 acts to retard the iiow of the gas mixture, and causes some of it to iiow through the holes 12 into the chamber 9, and out through the holes 13 l to form the inner ignition llame, as indicated by the dotted lines at I, and some of the gas mixture will flow through the holes 11 into the chamber 10 and out through the holes 14 to form the outer ignition flame as indicated by the dotted lines at O, both of the igniting flames im inging on the flow of mixture to the flame The modified forni shown in the Figures 5 and 6 is found to be more efficient in the smaller sizes, that is about half the size, as shown in the drawings.
This form operates on the same principle as the above described form, but in place of the series of annular holes 13 and 14, annular openings 29 and 30 are provided, which openings extend back to form the chambers 31 and 32. The tip opening is indicated at 33, and the enlarged chamber at 34.
Holes 35 by-pass the gas mixture to the chamber 32, and holes 36 from the chamber 32 to the chamber 31.
In this instance the construction comprises two parts, the main body portion 37 and the outer shell 38.
The operation is the same as in the first form, but the ignition flames will be solid annular flames concentric to and impinging on the main flow of gas mixture.
It is obvious that more than two ignition flames may be produced by adding more spaced outside shells.
