Oxygen-fuel welding and cutting cabinet assembly

A structure for oxygen-fuel welding and cutting use which can be used with an oxygen cylinder having a valve and a fuel cylinder having a valve, first and second regulators having inputs and outputs and dials, torch bodies, torches, and first and second hoses extending from a first oxygen cylinder and a second gas cylinder, respectively, and third and fourth hoses extending from the outputs for the first and second regulators to the torch body, comprising:

• (a) a cabinet having walls forming an enclosure with an opening for a door, the said opening sized to permit the hands to extend therein, and to permit passage of a regulator therethrough;
• (b) a door mounted to the cabinet with means to be movable from an open position which allows the said opening to be exposed to permit a regulator and a hand to pass therethrough, and to a closed position which blocks the said opening to prevent the hand or fingers from extending into the opening and prevents removal of the regulator therethrough;
• (c) means for sturdily mounting first and second regulators within the walls of the cabinet;
• (d) the cabinet having means for allowing the first and second hoses to extend from the valves for the oxygen and fuel cylinders, respectively, into the cabinet and be mounted to the inputs for the first and second regulators, respectively, and for allowing the third and fourth hoses to extend from their connections to the first and second regulators, respectively, within the cabinet to outside the cabinet, the said means being sized to permit the passage of the first, second, third and fourth hoses therethrough but to block passage of a regulator therethrough.

An assembly for oxygen-fuel welding and cutting comprising:

• (a) first and second cylinders, each cylinder having a discharge valve;
• (b) first and second regulators, each having an input and an output;
• (c) a cabinet having walls forming an enclosure with an opening for a door, the said opening being sized to permit a hand to extend therein, and to permit passage of a regulator therethrough;
• (d) a door mounted to the cabinet with means for moving from an open position which allows the said opening to be exposed to permit a regulator and a hand to pass therethrough, and to a closed position which blocks the said opening to prevent the hand or fingers from extending into the opening and prevent removal of a regulator therethrough;
• (e) means for sturdily mounting the first and second regulators within the cabinet;
• (f) first and second hoses for connecting the valves of the first and second cylinders to the inputs of the first and second regulators, respectively;
• (g) third and fourth hoses for connection to the outputs of the first and second regulators, respectively, and for extending therefrom to positions outside the cabinet;
• and
• (h) the cabinet having means for allowing the first and second hoses to extend from the first and second cylinder valves, respectively, into the cabinet and for allowing the third and fourth hoses to extend from within the cabinet to outside the cabinet, the said means being sized to permit the passage of the first, second, third and fourth hoses therethrough but to block passage of a regulator therethrough.
