The casing is provided with a low pres` sure oxygen inlet 2() which communicates with the low pressure oxygen supply pipe 2l, and with a fuel or acetylene inlet 22 which communicates with the acetylene supply pipe 23.
The nozzle 7 is provided, asshown, with iour minute longitudinally extending grooves 24C which communicate at their rear ends with an annular low pressure oxygen re0 ceiving chamber 25 `formed in the bore 6 and communieatingwith the low pressure oxygen inlet 20. Thegrooyes 2e iorin passages between the casing` `5 and the nozzle 7 through which low pressure oxygen is conducted forwardly trom the receiving recess or chamber 25.`
As shown, the forward end oli the casing proper is provided with an annular groove tor acetylene gas which is supplied thereto from the fuel inlet 22 through three minute passages 27 drilled from the iront of the groove into inlet 22. The reservoir 26 is closed byl a sealing seat 28 having an annuy lar ridge 29 adapted to snugly lit into the annular reservoir 26 and seal it so as to prevent the escape of acetylene therefrom. The surfaces of the sealing seat and the end of the casing,` are ground so that a iuidtight joint is obtained by pressing` the seat 28 against the casing.`
A low pressure or secondary nozzle 30 is snugly iitted over the projecting end of the high pressure or interior nozzle 7 and is provided with a flange 31 at its rear end having a ground tace 32 adapted to abut the ground tace 33 on the sealing seat 28. The
`26 which serves as a small storage reservoir tiri' nozzle l0 is securely clainped against the Sealing seat 28, sind the Said seat is securely held against the casing 5 by ineens ot a threaded nut. 28 which is screwed upon the casing The tacos 32 and 33 of the nozzle SO .and the seat 2S, respectively. are heveled around the cent al hore thereof and torni an annular tuel distributing chaniher 34 surrounding the exterior eurtacc of the nozzle '7, which is in communication with the longitudinal grooves 2% in the nozzle 7. rllhe ttor ward ende of the groove Q-i are enlarged slightly i'roln a. point Within the distributing chan'ihcr lill to the tip ot the nozzle T in order to accommodate the additional gas which is supplied to the grooves at this point troni the dietrihuting chainher Which receives tuel troni the acetylene gas reservoir through a. series ot ininute passages: 35 drilled through th eenling seat 28.
Willen the nut 28 is tightened. the ground iacee oi" nozzle 30, the fivealing nt, and the :trent end or the casing are pressed tightlyY together and privent the escape around the joint ot low pressure oxygen or acetylene troni the various passages. ll hare tound that when the casing 5, sealing seat 28 and nut 28 are inade of brass. and the nozzle 80 niade ot copper, which has a higher coetiicient ot expansion than brass, that the nut 28 inay he tightened hy hand and that when the nozzle 30 is heated by the opere.- tion otthe torch, the copper expande and sufficiently tightens the joint Wit-hout neceseitating the nee ot a u'rench. l have also found that the nutinay he reinored or looeened hy hand When the nozzle has heen cooled. Nozzles constructed in thie manner may, therefore, he readily changed Within hriet periods oit"y time, and there is no noces- Sity tor straining ther various parte ot' the torch, as is frequentlyv done in tightening other forms of nozzles.
lt ivill he seen 'l'roin the foregoing that high j'n'cesure oxygen is supplied to the tip of the nozzle through the passage il, and that` loiv pressure oxygen in Supplied to the tip of the nozzle th rough the groovesA 24;. while ncei'jf'lene an is Supplied to thc said grooves;

To operate the improved torch. the valve controllingthe delivery ot acetylene grae is opened :,nd adjueted to deliver the gas lo the torch9 at apjninqiinately iittcen pound-sy per square inch above atmospheric, pressure. This gas passes 'troni the inlet 2Q through into the reservoir 2G. and after passing `through the vfire gauze Screen 36 provided in the reservoir. to prevent hack- ..ie conduct-ed to the distrilniting chainher through the 35 troni jvhence it flown through the enlarged portion ot lli-o groorc-i il to the tip oi.' the nozzle .fhcrc il is ignited. fitter the acetylene gas; has` heen ignited, the intensitjv ot conihuntion in in` creueed by Supplying lon' prensuro oxygen to the acetylene gaa lie'torc it is discharged troni the nozzle, and thie1 low pref-'sure orig'- gen is Supplied 'l'roni the o ivgen inlet 2l) through the chalnher 25 and groove` 2l which dir-:charge into the distributing chain her 3ft. llc 'ansie ot the highlyY inlianunahle .nature oit the gagnons mixture. it in nece nary to guard againnl tinck-tiring. :ln certain torches non' connnonlv in uw. the l'arilitica` 'l'or preventing Mick-tiring are inadeipialc, and the result in that cuploeions occur with Such intensitj ot heat and pressure as to burst the casinge ol the torch and treoucnt I v inse the par' together and close thc duid puerngee. lililhen the explosions are not ot uch violence afs to canne phjeical injurj7 lo the torch, thcjY interrupt the lilou` ot' gano-i; to the nozzle and canne Spluttering which cxtingoishef': tluy tlanic.

However, after the Werl: has become eirlticientlj" heated that it 'will lll! titl
ent that there will remain in the reservoir4 2G and inlet 22 a quant-ity of acetylene gas Which might be made inflammable should oiiygen he forced back into the reservoir. Precaution is, therefore, made to prevent the leakage of high pressure oxygen into the conduits Zl` or `to the distributing chamber. The nozzle 7 is, therefore, provided with a ground joint connection, previously described, which is `cecured tothe casing independently `of themeans for securing the nozzlel or tip 3() to the casing and there is, therefore, no danger of' loosening this joint when it is desired to exchange or `adj ust the up so. j j
ln many forms of cutting torches, the high pressure nozzle `connection serves to connect the cutting tip with the casing and becomes loosened when the tipfis replaced, With the result that high `j nessure oxygen leaks into the fuel chamber and an explosion follows. The provision of an independent connection for the high pressure oxygen conduit and nozzle reducesthe possibility for leakage. Should leakage occur, that would force `Aovygen'into the acetylene pipe 23 and inlet 22, the gas in the inlet 22 is amply protected `against ignition bythe line ducts 35, screen 36 and ducts 27.
After the cutting operation, the high pres sure oxygen controlling valve `is closed and the torch may again he lighted, preliminary to starting a heating operation, as previously described.
rlhe sealing seat 28 and the nozzle 30 might be formed in one piece, but the ad-V vantages incident to the construction illustrated resides in the fact th at the two piece construction facilitates the manufacture of the parts, and protects the casing 5 from injury when the nozzle 30 is adjusted in position. 'lhc sealing seat is applied to the casing 5 and may he renewed Without serious loss, should repeat-ed adjustment of the nozzle 30 deface the seat, Whereas, if the nozzle were frequently applied to the casing and the seat became injured., repair would necessitate the replacing of an entire new easing instead of a clieapor and more easily rejiilaced sealing seat.
The construction above described is siniple and relatively compact compared With the usual torches now employed, and the parts may be readily manufactured and assembled. While l have describedthe torch as being operated with acetylene as a fuel, other fuels may be employed, and the pas sages designed and proportioned to acconr modate other fuels Without departing from the spirit of my invention,
