Abstract

This invention relates to an apparatus for generating a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for producing a hot flame and in particular to one including a housing, an electrolytic chamber fixedly mounted within the housing and having two electrodes extending out of the electrolytic chamber to connect with a rectifier, a first safety device connected with an outlet of the electrolytic chamber, a control valve connected with an outlet of the first safety device, a dryer connected with an outlet of the first safety device, and a second safety device connected with an outlet of the dryer and having a chamber in which are mounted a spring-loaded ball which will open an outlet of the second safety device when the pressure of hydrogen and oxygen in the electrolytic chamber exceeds a predetermined value.

Claims

1. An apparatus for generating a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for producing a hot flame comprising:

a housing;

an electrolytic chamber fixedly mounted within said housing and having two electrodes extending out of the electrolytic chamber to connect with a rectifier;

a first safety device connected with an outlet of said electrolytic chamber, said first safety device being a tubular member mounted at one side of said housing and filled with water;

a control valve connected with an outlet of said first safety device;

a dryer connected with an outlet of said first safety device; and

a second safety device connected with an outlet of said dryer and having a chamber in which are mounted a spring-loaded ball which will open an outlet of said second safety device when pressure of hydrogen and oxygen in said electrolytic chamber exceeds a predetermined value.

2. The apparatus for generating a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for producing a hot flame as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing is provided with wheels on the bottom thereof.

3. The apparatus for generating a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for producing a hot flame as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing is provided with dissipating fins on the outer surface thereof.

4. The apparatus for generating a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for producing a hot flame as claimed in claim 1, further comprising two inverted U-shaped frames mounted on an inner bottom of said housing and each provided with an exhaust fan.

5. The apparatus for generating a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for producing a hot flame as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a tube connected between an upper part of said electrolytic chamber and a lower part of said electrolytic chamber.

6. The apparatus for generating a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for producing a hot flame as claimed in claim 1, wherein said dryer is provided with a drying agent at an upper portion and a drain outlet at a bottom thereof.
