Abstract PCT No. PCT/DE84/00173 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 24, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 24, 1985 PCT Filed Aug. 27, 1984 PCT Pub. No. WO85/00991 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 14, 1985.A spray gun comprises a nozzle defining an elongated, axially extending spray channel, a coaxial inlet leading thereto and having a flow-accelerating contour, and a coaxial combustion chamber leading to the inlet, the combustion chamber having a diameter larger than that of the spray channel. A nozzle head is displaceably mounted in the combustion chamber and is axially adjustable with respect to the inlet, the nozzle head feeding the fusible material into the combustion chamber and carrying a burner nozzle and respective conduits feeding a combustion gas and a spray channel flushing gas into the combustion chamber. An ignition electrode projects into the combustion chamber and is arranged for adjustment with respect to the burner nozzle in a direction transverse to the axis, and a control circuit comprises a switching element for supplying electric current to the ignition electrode whereby a spark is formed between the ignition electrode and the burner nozzle for igniting the combustion gas in the combustion chamber, and respective controllers for feeding the combustion gas and the flushing gas through the respective conduits, the control circuit sequentially operating the controller for feeding the flushing gas, the switching element for supplying electric current to the ignition electrode and the controller for feeding the combustion gas.
