Abstract
Abstract A device for the thermal spray application of welding materials comprises a jet focussing nozzle having an axis and defining an elongated, axially extending jet focussing channel having a feed-in end, and a burner nozzle in the pinch nozzle for directing a flame into the feed-in end. The jet focussing nozzle is divided into two connected parts along a plane extending transversely to the jet focussing nozzle axis in the area of the feed-in end and dividing the jet focussing nozzle into a front part and a rear part receiving the burner nozzle, and the front nozzle part is adjustable with respect to the rear part between an operating position wherein the nozzle parts have contacting end faces in this plane and the jet focussing channel extends continuously through the nozzle parts, and an ignition position wherein the front part clears the burner nozzle for access thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
A device for the thermal spray application of welding materials, which comprises (a) a jet focussing nozzle having an axis and defining a combustion chamber and an elongated, axially extending jet focussing spray channel having a feed-in end in communication with, and adjacent, the combustion chamber for receiving combustion gases therefrom, and (b) a burner nozzle connected to said combustion chamber and receiving a controlled amount of combustion components and arranged to deliver the combustion components into the combustion chamber, (1) the jet focussing nozzle being divided into two connected parts along a plane extending transversely to the jet focussing nozzle axis in the area of the feed-in end and dividing the jet focussing nozzle into a front part and a rear part into which the burner nozzle extends, and (2) the front nozzle part being adjustable with respect to the rear part between an operating position wherein the nozzle parts have contacting end faces in said plane and the jet focussing channel extends continuously through the nozzle parts, and an ignition position wherein the front part clears the burner nozzle for access thereto whereby the combustion components may be manually ignited and the resultant flame is focussed in the front nozzle part upon adjustment thereof into the operating position.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
210 words
A device for the thermal spray application of welding materials, which comprises (a) a jet focussing nozzle having an axis and defining a combustion chamber and an elongated, axially extending jet focussing spray channel having a feed-in end in communication with, and adjacent, the combustion chamber for receiving combustion gases therefrom, and (b) a burner nozzle connected to said combustion chamber and receiving a controlled amount of combustion components and arranged to deliver the combustion components into the combustion chamber, (1) the jet focussing nozzle being divided into two connected parts along a plane extending transversely to the jet focussing nozzle axis in the area of the feed-in end and dividing the jet focussing nozzle into a front part and a rear part into which the burner nozzle extends, and (2) the front nozzle part being adjustable with respect to the rear part between an operating position wherein the nozzle parts have contacting end faces in said plane and the jet focussing channel extends continuously through the nozzle parts, and an ignition position wherein the front part clears the burner nozzle for access thereto whereby the combustion components may be manually ignited and the resultant flame is focussed in the front nozzle part upon adjustment thereof into the operating position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
