ABSTRACT:
A safety carriage for supporting and guiding an acetylene torch in which the torch nozzle can be spaced a desired distance above the work being cut by the flame and the carriage has an asbestos lined pan underlying the operator's hand for protecting it. The device can be guided along a line which is to be cut by the torch flame. An anti-glare shield supporting frame can be attached to the torch for protecting the operator's eyes and this same frame also supports an asbestos shield which is positioned directly behind the torch nozzle and in front of the pan to prevent sparks from the torch flame striking the operator's hand. A frame supporting cross arm with rollers at its ends can be used for moving the torch nozzle in an arc for making a circular cut having a large radius or a center pivot can be substituted for cutting a smaller circle.
