A collet member for a colleting fixture includes a monolithic collet body including a clamping block engaging outer wall and a workpiece engaging inner wall extending circumferentially between first and second end walls, each of the outer wall, the inner wall, and the first and second end walls extending axially from a radial wall to define an internal cavity, and a plurality of rods extending axially from the radial wall within the internal cavity.

Weld collet

A collet member for a colleting fixture includes a monolithic collet body having a clamping block engaging outer wall and a workpiece engaging inner wall extending circumferentially between first and second end walls, with each of the outer wall, the inner wall, and the first and second end walls extending axially between first and second radial walls to enclose at least one internal cavity.

A reignition device for a gas burner includes a reignition flame chamber which opens into a burner face of the gas burner. The burner face is also provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced burner ports. The reignition chamber includes at least one port for receiving an air/gas mixture flowing within the burner head. A reignition flame is initially ignited at the reignition chamber by a burner port flame or an electrode which also can be used to ignite the gas flowing out of the various burner ports in the burner face. The reignition device is designed so that the reignition flame burns in a balanced and stable manner both when the burner is set at a high rate and when the gas burner is turned down to a low setting. Subsequently, should the flames about the burner face be extinguished by an external influence, the reignition flame will remain ignited and will function to reignite the burner flames.
