Abstract
A gas torch includes a base couplable to a gas source supplying gaseous fuel and gas ports formed in a top surface of the base to emit gas upwardly therefrom. A plurality of diverters is stacked in a spaced apart relationship directly above the base, each diverter having an inner edge and an outer edge. Each diverter is positioned above a lower diverter so that the inner edge and the outer edge are positioned intermediate one of the inner edge and the outer edge of the lower diverter. The lowest diverter, that which is adjacent the base, is positioned such that the gas ports are positioned directly underlying and intermediate the inner edge and the outer edge thereof.
Claims17
A Gas torch with flame shaping elements comprising:
- a base couplable to a gas source supplying gaseous fuel;
- a gas conduit coupling the gas source to the base;
- a gas port formed in a top surface of the base to emit gas upwardly therefrom;
- a first diverter having a first edge and a second edge, the first diverter positioned overlying and spaced from the gas port, such that the gas port is positioned directly below and intermediate the first edge and the second edge of the first diverter;
- and
- a second diverter having a first edge and a second edge, the second diverter positioned overlying and spaced from the first diverter such that one of the first edge of the first diverter and the second edge of the first diverter is positioned directly below and intermediate the first edge of the second diverter and the second edge of the second diverter.
A Gas torch with flame shaping elements comprising:
- a base coupled to a gas source supplying gaseous fuel by a gas conduit;
- gas ports formed in a top surface of the base in a ring-shaped pattern to emit gas upwardly therefrom;
- a shield element positioned around the base and spaced therefrom to prevent inadvertent distortion of gaseous fuel emitted from the base;
- a first diverter having a ring shape with an inner edge and an outer edge, the first diverter positioned overlying and spaced from the gas port, such that the gas port is positioned directly below and intermediate the inner edge and the outer edge of the first diverter;
- a second diverter having an inner edge and an outer edge, the second diverter positioned overlying and spaced from the first diverter such that one of the inner edge of the first diverter and the outer edge of the first diverter is positioned directly below and intermediate the inner edge of the second diverter and the outer edge of the second diverter;
- support members extending upwardly from the base outside of and supporting the first diverter member and the second diverter member;
- and
- chimney elements extending upwardly inside of and supporting the first diverter member and the second diverter member, wherein the chimney elements define an interior column above the base.
A Gas torch with flame shaping elements comprising:
- a base couplable to a gas source supplying gaseous fuel;
- gas ports formed in a top surface of the base to emit gas upwardly therefrom;
- a plurality of diverters stacked in a spaced apart relationship directly above the base, each diverter having an inner edge and an outer edge, each diverter positioned above a lower diverter so that the inner edge and the outer edge are positioned intermediate one of the inner edge and the outer edge of the lower diverter, the lowest diverter, that which is adjacent the base, is positioned such that the gas ports are positioned directly underlying and intermediate the inner edge and the outer edge, wherein the plurality of diverters are each one of circular and non-circular rings.
