20200309365 · 2020-10-01 ·

A tool for holding a torch having a fuel containing cylinder at one end and a flame directing nozzle at an opposite end. The tool has a base with first and second parts arranged in a cooperative stacked relationship relative to each other and defining a spherical socket therebetween. The second part of the base has an open top. A positioning receptacle is seated and rotatable within the spherical socket defined by the base. The receptacle has a spherical outer surface and a cylindrical blind cavity opening to the spherical outer surface of the receptacle so as to receive and releasably hold a lengthwise portion of the fuel containing cylinder therewithin. A manually operable, spring biased assembly is mounted in operable combination with first and second parts of the base and is operable in either a locked condition or an unlocked condition. In the locked condition, the spring biased assembly applies a first clamping force to the outer spherical surface of the receptacle to restrain the receptacle in a selected and adjusted position and against movement relative to the base and applies a reduced clamping force to the outer spherical surface of the receptacle when in an unlocked condition.

A torch includes a main burner that produces a flame; a flame holding body configured to maintain the combustion state of the main burner if the flame produced by the main burner is about to be extinguished; and a gas supply pipe configured to feed combustion gas from a gas container filled with the combustion gas to the main burner and the flame holding body.

Audio signal driven analog flame display
10746407 · 2020-08-18 · ·

A flame show is responsive to an audio input signal such as music. A base unit including an analog base unit controller circuit is arranged to receive an audio input signal and generate an analog control signal that is responsive to the audio input signal. The analog control signal is distributed, by wire or wireless, to one or more flame display units such as a tiki torch. Each flame display unit has a fuel source, and a proportional valve for controlling an amount of fuel supplied to a burner. Preferably, the control signal controls a gate terminal of a MOSFET semiconductor device, which in turn is coupled to control current in the proportional valve each each unit. By deploying multiple flame display units, all coupled to the same base unit, all of the flame display units contribute synchronously to the overall flame show.

A flame gun with a flow control ring includes a body with a gas outlet assembly disposed therein. The gas outlet assembly includes a flow regulator being rotatable about an axis. A flow controller is coupled to and operably rotatable relative to the body. The flow controller is configured to drive the flow regulator rotationally and includes a connecting portion connected to the flow regulator. The flow controller includes an input portion disposed in a spaced relationship with the connecting portion and includes at least one link arm interconnecting and extending between the connecting portion and the input portion. The input portion is disposed circumferentially and surrounds at least half an outer periphery of the body.

GAS POWERED TORCH
20200132298 · 2020-04-30 ·

Various embodiments utilize a novel approach to igniting the natural gas flame that is emitted from the end of the torch. According to one embodiment a rotary diverter within the ignition bell of the GrillGun is used to shunt a portion of the higher velocity gas flow to an area in the bell where the ignition spark is out of the direct burning gas stream. According to another embodiment the ignition bell has a plate that largely covers its open end that reduces the length of the flame that is emitted and focuses it. Still another embodiment has a check valve that operates to stop the flow of gas to the gas conduit when the GrillGun is dropped or tipped over or liquid propane is otherwise presented into the check valve by any other means.

Gas combustor and safety switch thereof

A gas combustor comprises a gas container, a fuel gas controlling device, a housing, a piezoelectric device and a combustion device. The safety switch is slidably disposed in an opening of the housing and includes a slide member, a fasten member and a passive member, adjacent surfaces of the slide member and the fasten member are disposed with a connecting mechanism and a radial sliding mechanism, thereby enabling the slide member to perform a radial sliding motion towards the left or the right at the front end of the fasten member; a rear surface of the passive member is formed with a lock tenon abutted against a block tenon of the fuel gas controlling device, thereby forming a lucked status; when the slide member is pulled towards the left or the right, the lock tenon is released from the block tenon, thereby forming an unlocked status.

Torch having an interlock mechanism

A torch device having a pivoting torch arm, including a fuel delivery system having a fuel tank and microjet burners positioned in the end of the torch arm, and an ignition system including an ignition button and a piezoelectric igniter for igniting fuel, and an interlock mechanism including a mounting tab pivotally attaching the torch arm to the body of the torch, with a guide pocket defined by a laterally-extending wall of the mounting tab, and a rocker arm having a distal arm cooperating with and confined within the guide pocket, and a proximal arm cooperating with the ignition button, and configured to prevent a user from pressing the ignition button based on the angular position of the torch arm relative to the torch body.

Torch having a rotatable safety cap

A torch includes a body, a fuel tank and a microjet burner. The torch also includes an ignition button that is movable relative to the body between an upper position and a depressed position, and a cap assembly, which includes a lower cap and a safety cap rotatably coupled with the lower cap. The safety cap includes an ignition button guard, defines a flame portal, and is rotatable between a closed position and an armed position. When the safety cap is in the closed position, the ignition button guard is aligned with the ignition button and inhibits access to the ignition button, and the safety cap covers the microjet burner. When the safety cap is in the armed position, the flame portal is aligned with the microjet burner, and the ignition button guard is misaligned with the ignition button, and access to the ignition button is unobstructed.
