Abstract
Abstract A saw guide is provided with a mixture of air, oil and water to lubricate and cool the saw and guide. The lubricant mixture is developed by a liquids mixer constructed around an oxyacetylene cutting tip. Greatly reduced water consumption is observed resulting in a drier working environment and reducing the amount of clean-up required.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A device for mixing air, oil and water, comprising means defining an outlet nozzle, said nozzle being divergent in a downstream direction, means defining separate respective inlets for air, oil and water, a liquids mixer for mixing the oil and water, said mixer comprising a body having a central passage in communication with said oil inlet, and a plurality of outer passages in communication with said water inlet, said mixer extending into said outlet nozzle, said outer passages converging in the downstream direction toward the axis of the central passage, and means defining a chamber surrounding said mixer and in communication with both said air inlet an said outlet nozzle, wherein said mixer has a nose at the upstream end thereof through which said central passage, but not said outer passages, extend, and further comprising a sliding body abutting said nose, said sliding body defining a through central passage in communication with said oil inlet at one end and said central passage at the other end, and means for biasing the sliding body against the nose, thereby segregating the oil and water flows upstream of the mixer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
187 words
A device for mixing air, oil and water, comprising means defining an outlet nozzle, said nozzle being divergent in a downstream direction, means defining separate respective inlets for air, oil and water, a liquids mixer for mixing the oil and water, said mixer comprising a body having a central passage in communication with said oil inlet, and a plurality of outer passages in communication with said water inlet, said mixer extending into said outlet nozzle, said outer passages converging in the downstream direction toward the axis of the central passage, and means defining a chamber surrounding said mixer and in communication with both said air inlet an said outlet nozzle, wherein said mixer has a nose at the upstream end thereof through which said central passage, but not said outer passages, extend, and further comprising a sliding body abutting said nose, said sliding body defining a through central passage in communication with said oil inlet at one end and said central passage at the other end, and means for biasing the sliding body against the nose, thereby segregating the oil and water flows upstream of the mixer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The invention of claim 1, further comprising an annular shroud within said chamber, said shroud forming the upstream end of said divergent nozzle, and being disposed between said air inlet and said liquids mixer.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
121 words
A device for mixing air, oil and water, comprising means defining an outlet nozzle, said nozzle being divergent in a downstream direction, means defining separate respective inlets for air, oil and water, a liquids mixer for mixing the oil and water, said mixer comprising a body having a central passage in communication with said oil inlet, and a plurality of outer passages in communication with said water inlet, said mixer extending into said outlet nozzle, said outer passages converging in the downstream direction toward the axis of the central passage, and means defining a chamber surrounding said mixer and in communication with both said air inlet and said outlet nozzle, and a shroud extending around the mixer within said air chamber.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
121 words
A device for mixing air, oil and water, comprising means defining an outlet nozzle, said nozzle being divergent in a downstream direction, means defining separate respective inlets for air, oil and water, a liquids mixer for mixing the oil and water, said mixer comprising a body having a central passage in communication with said oil inlet, and a plurality of outer passages in communication with said water inlet, said mixer extending into said outlet nozzle, said outer passages converging in the downstream direction toward the axis of the central passage, and means defining a chamber surrounding said mixer and in communication with both said air inlet and said outlet nozzle, and a shroud extending around the mixer within said air chamber.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
137 words
A device for mixing air, oil and water, comprising means defining an outlet nozzle, said nozzle being divergent in a downstream direction, means defining separate respective inlets for air, oil and water, a liquids mixer for mixing the oil and water, said mixer comprising a body having a central passage in communication with said oil inlet, and a plurality of outer passages in communication with said water inlet, said mixer extending into said outlet nozzle, said outer passages converging in the downsteam direction toward the axis of the central passage, means defining a chamber surrounding said mixer and in communication with both said air inlet and said outlet nozzle, and an annular shroud within said chamber, said shroud forming the upstream end of said divergent nozzle, and being disposed between said air inlet and said liquids mixer.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
137 words
A device for mixing air, oil and water, comprising means defining an outlet nozzle, said nozzle being divergent in a downstream direction, means defining separate respective inlets for air, oil and water, a liquids mixer for mixing the oil and water, said mixer comprising a body having a central passage in communication with said oil inlet, and a plurality of outer passages in communication with said water inlet, said mixer extending into said outlet nozzle, said outer passages converging in the downsteam direction toward the axis of the central passage, means defining a chamber surrounding said mixer and in communication with both said air inlet and said outlet nozzle, and an annular shroud within said chamber, said shroud forming the upstream end of said divergent nozzle, and being disposed between said air inlet and said liquids mixer.
