- the gas mixture contains an excess of oxygen it will tend to oxidize the metal as it is being laid. To the contrary, if it contains an excess of acetylene it will carbonize the deposited metal.
- To completely and efllciently burn acetylene gas requires two and a half volumes'of oxygen to one volume of acetylene. Combustion thereof results in two volumes of carbon dioxide to one volume of water vapor.
- Past practice has demonstrated that it is best to'supply equal parts of acetylene and oxygen gases through the torch and supply ample air to the flame to afford the additional one and one-half parts of oxygen necessary for complete combustion.
- the equalized oxygen and acetylene gas mixture is supplied through an annular group of jet passages surrounding the wire passage in close association with which is an annular group of air jet passagessupplying to the flames the necessary additional oxygen to build up the required proportion of'one to two and a half acetylene and oxygen mixture.
- the equalized-initial mixture supplied through the 'torch is assured only by delivering the gases through fixed openings or jets under uniform pressure. However, unless the gases havebeen thoroughly mixed before delivery to the nozzle, the acetylene gas may burn from one side of the orifice, and the oxygen from the other side.
- conduits, or chambers through which the gases flow to the metering and delivery jets Such restrictions and lack-of capacity have a detrimental effect upon the pressure and supply maintenance.
- the main air stream from the compressed air supply tank is delivered under pressure to a mixin'g chamber where, if desired, a third gas may be introduced.
- a third gas may be introduced.
- the primary air stream passes from the nozzle in substantially the form of 'an air pipe serving as a carrier for the molten material to the point of application, thus forming an envelope surrounding the stream of molten metal affording protection thereto as well as a carrying power and greatly reduces the possibility of oxidization of the metal while being propelled through the air.
- An'adjustment at the end of the nozzle enables the operator to cause the air to take hold of the molten metal earlier or later and affords absolute control. Once set, this adjustment need not be changed except as the material is changed or a different condition of deposit is desired.
- This carrier air flow is directed at an angle against and flows continguous to the walls of the main nozzle orifice and thus prevents the intense heat from burning the nozzle. Tests have shown that the center of this primary tubular air stream is almosta neutral zone through which the molten metal is carried.
- the feeding mechanism for the material supply is a vital factor, especially for a commercial production tool of relatively large capacity as here contemplated. No two different kinds of metal stock fuse at the same temperatures or, conversely, are fusible at the same speed. The fusing point and consequent speed of operation varies with different alloys. If the material is slowly will not clear the nozzle and will give infinite trouble. Therefore, the speed of the wire feeding mechanism must be adjustable, but when adjusted must be capable of maintaining a uniform rate of operation. In the present instance a constant speed motor, preferably of the synchronous type, is employed to drive double cone feeding rolls always at the same speed. The variation of wire feedingspeed is effected by relative adjustment of the point of wire engagement axially of the cooperating cones to zones of different peripheral travel.
- the apparatus comprises generally an electric drivingmotor i including a speed reduction head iA mounted upon a recessed base or support 2 containing the several air and gas supply connections and safety devices, and theme end of which is connected the'housing 3 for the wire feeding mechanism which is driven from the motor I, by suitable speed reduction gear train' including gears within an intermediate gear housing 4.

- the air cap is axially adjustable upon the housing 1 by rotation of its screw threaded mounting collar 9 to thereby vary the size and capacity of the tapered primary air passage ll 7 intermediate the cap and secondary air nozzle.
- This peripheral air chamber I5 is interrupted by a plurality of spaced peripheral flanges l8 upon the secondary air nozzle it which form a. series of bailies having therein relatively staggered ports l3 through which the air supply must pass from one portion of the chamber to another.

- the material nozzle is providedwith circumfer entially spaced longitudinal grooves 28 communieating with the enlarged rearward portion 29 of the bore 'of the gas nozzle 20 which serves as a receiving and distributing chamber for the fuel gases which are discharged thence through the spaced jet passages 28 to the fusing chamber l2 where they are consumed.
- the metal and gas nozzles 20 and 26 are preferably, although not necessarily, made of copper. .
- the fuel gases are supplied through conduits leading from the sources of supply and passing beneath the base 2 and thence through the wire feeding mechanism housing 3 andbarrel 5 to ports 30 and 3
- the acetylene gas port 30 is connected by a-transverse passage 32 extending through the body of the nozzle housing with the oxygen supply port 3! at the opposite side of the nozzle. Intersecting this acetylene passage 32 is a regulatory or metering valve comprising a screw stud 33 having a tapered extremity coacting with a corresponding tapered seat 34 in the passage to vary the capacity of such passage andso control the flow of the acetylene gas supply.
- the stream of acetylene gas flowing from the bore 31 of the regulating valve is entirely surrounded by a body of oxygen gas flowing between the tapered end of the valve stud 35 and its seat 35.
- the specific gravity of the respective ases varies greatly, the acetylene gas being much heavier than the oxygen.

- the driving cone 44 is positively rotated at a slow constant rate of speed.
- the rotary cone ordinarily possesses a peripheral speed ranging from thirty-five inches per minute at the smaller end to approximately one hundred inches per minute at the larger end, without changing the motor speed or the ratio of intermediate driving connections.
- Such speeds are here stated merely for illustrative purposes and not with intent to unduly limit the invention.
- the feeding rate is determined by the character of the material and that of work to be produced.
