Abstract:
A torch handle is provided which includes a mechanism for locking the valve in the closed position. An actuator collar is positioned to be manually actuable with one hand to a forwardmost or open position. The quick-disconnect coupling assembly has a coupling collar, which may be retracted to remove a torch tip and thereby moves the actuator collar to return the valve to the closed position.
