Abstract: A gas cutting torch for the fusion-cutting such iron materials as steel frames or iron plates by dint of flames, is equipped with a pilot fire port in the vicinity of a main cutting tip. A fire is set to this pilot fire port by means of an ignition unit. A fire is set to the main cutting tip by the pilot flame which has been formed on the pilot fire port. So that the pilot fire port functions as an automatic ignition service against the main cutting tip.

Abstract: A manual gas cutting torch to be used for fusion-cutting iron materials such as steel frames or iron plates includes a flame port at its cutting tip, a plurality of ports connected with gas and oxygen cylinders at its rear edge, and a handle section for holding the torch with one hand at its middle. A freely detachable back-fire preventive device is incorporated into a gas channel or oxygen channel or to both channels which shift(s) to the cutting tip side from this handle section. The back-fire preventive device serves to stop any flash-back from the cutting tip just before the handle section for preventing the flame from passing through the handle section and escaping back to the cylinder.
