  • Mounting scheme for a plasma arc torch
    Patent number: 5683599
    Abstract: A mounting device for a plasma arc torch which enables the plasma arc torch body to withstand impacts from objects or forces in its working environment which would otherwise require the entire plasma arc torch to be replaced; said device has a designed failure location, which thereby allows the user to replace only the failed mounting device instead of the entire plasma arc torch. An enhanced form of the invention includes a flexible mounting device that enables the plasma arc torch body to withstand impacts from objects or forces in its working environment and then return to its original position before failing at the designed failure location.
