Abstract
A flame adjusting device includes a tank for receiving a fluid and includes an upper portion and a lower portion coupled to a coupler with hoses. The coupler is coupled to a gas generator. A control device is disposed between the coupler and an upper hose and is used for controlling the gas to flow through the hoses and to adjust the gas flowing out of the tank. The gas is a gaseous fuel and is supplied to a facility for generating a flame. The temperature generated by the flame may thus also be adjusted.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flame adjusting device and more particularly to a flame adjusting device for an oxygen and hydrogen generator.
2. Description of the Prior Art.
Typical oxygen and hydrogen generators may be used for generating gaseous fuel, particularly the oxygen and/or the hydrogen. The gaseous fuel generated by the generators may be supplied to a torch, for example, for generating a flame to conduct cutting or welding process. The gaseous fuel and thus the flame may not be adjusted.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional oxygen and hydrogen generators.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a flame adjusting device for adjusting the gaseous fuel from an oxygen and hydrogen generator and in order to adjust the flame generated by the gaseous fuel.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a flame adjusting device for a gas generator, comprising:
a tank for receiving a fluid and including an upper portion, a lower portion, and an outlet;
a coupler coupled to the gas generator for receiving gas generated by the gas generator;
a first hose coupling said coupler to said lower portion of said tank for allowing the gas from the gas generator to flow into said tank and to flow through the fluid received in said tank and to flow out through said outlet of said tank;
a second hose coupling said coupler to said upper portion of said tank for allowing the gas from the gas generator to directly flow into said tank, without flowing through the fluid received in said tank, and to flow out through said outlet of said tank together with the gas flowing through the fluid received in said tank; and means for controlling the gas flow through at least one of said first hose and said second hose.
The controlling means includes a control valve provided between the coupler and the second hose for controlling the gas to flow through the first hose and the second hose. The tank includes an indicator for indicating a level of the tank. A facility such as a tank is coupled to the outlet of the tank for receiving the gas from the tank in order to generate a flame.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.

The flame adjusting device comprises a tank 20 including a port 21 for adding into or for drawing a fluid 28 from the tank 20 and including an indicator 23 coupled to the side portion for indicating the fluid 28 level in the tank 20. The fluid 28 may be selected from gasoline, alcohol, alkyl group, or alcoholic fluids, etc. Two hoses 40, 50, couple the lower and the upper portions of the tank 20 to a coupler 30, such as a three-way valve, and a control valve 51 is provided between the coupler 30 and the hose 50 for controlling the gaseous fuel through the hoses 40, 50. The tank 20 includes an outlet 22 for supplying the gaseous fuel out to a facility, such as a torch 24 (FIG. 1) and for generating a flame to conduct a welding or cutting process. It is preferable that the hose 50 is coupled to the tank 20 at a position lower than the outlet 22.
