Abstract
A system for performing exothermic operations or oxygen delivery uses a rod and handle configuration to create a flowpath of oxygen. The rod includes cables having stainless steel fibers that burn using the oxygen within a hollow center area. While burning, the rod cuts through material. A sheath covers the covers to contain the gases and prevent unraveling of the cables. The handle attaches to the rod and provides control of the flow of oxygen to the rod. A manifold fixing in place bottles of oxygen connects to the handle and can be fixed to provide different mixtures from different bottles. The rod is disconnected when needed to fix a mask thereto for delivering breathable oxygen to a patient.
Claims1
A torching rod for use in exothermic operations, the rod comprising:
- a plurality of elongate members configured to burn during an exothermic operation, wherein the plurality of elongate members surrounds a hollow center portion within the torching rod;
- a flowpath formed by the hollow center portion for oxygen to burn the plurality of elongate members;
- a sheath to enclose the plurality of elongate members and the hollow center portion;
- an ignition source at a first end of the rod to ignite the oxygen in the flowpath;
- and
- a connector positioned at a second end of said sheath, wherein the connector is receivable by a quick disconnect fitting.
