Patent number: 11684989Abstract: A method for monitoring a flame cutting process includes a preheating phase, a piercing phase following the preheating phase and a cutting phase following the piercing phase, wherein a cutting torch applies a flame generated by combustion of a gas mixture to an electrically conductive workpiece and wherein an electric current flowing between an electrically conductive part of the cutting torch and the workpiece is measured by a current measuring device during a measuring period. An ignition point at which piercing of a hole through the workpiece using the flame starts due to oxidation of the workpiece is detected by a change in the measured current.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignees: IHT Automation GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9288888Abstract: A plasma arc torch includes an annular baffle defining distinct faces A, B, C, and D. Faces A and C are opposite from each other, and faces B and D are opposite from each other. First passages for fluid flow extend between the faces A and C, and second passages extend between the faces B and D. The baffle is installable in an annular space between an inner wall and an outer wall, in either of two orientations. In a first orientation, the first passages are open to fluid flow and the second passages are closed by engagement of the inner and outer walls with the faces B and D, and in a second orientation, flipped over relative to the first orientation, the second passages are open to fluid flow and the first passages are closed by engagement of the inner and outer walls with the faces A and C.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: The ESAB Group, Inc.Inventors: David Charles Griffin, Gregory William Diehl, Christopher Reed Martin, Wayne Stanley Severence, Jr.

Patent number: 6279164Abstract: A pair of interlocking batting gloves which may be worn by a batter during practice and during play in which each glove has a portion of hook and loop material attached to the outer peripheral edge of the index finer and a cooperating portion of hook and loop material attached to the outer peripheral edge of the little finger. When the batter grips a bat in the proper manner, the hook and loop material on the index finger of one hand releasably connects to the cooperating portion of hook and loop material on the little finger of the other hand. Thus, when wearing the gloves, the batter is prevented from rotating his hands while gripping the bat and the proper alignment of the batter's knuckles is maintained throughout the entire swing.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2000Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Inventor: G.
