Abstract
A conductive rod body is embedded in an insulative torch adapter into which a plasma torch is fitted so that a leading end protrudes from its outer circumferential surface. Further, a metal plate member electrically connected to a cable line to which a voltage for plasma ignition is applied is attached to a lower holder, and a conductive leaf spring member having a V-shaped cross section is attached to an upper holder. When the torch adapter is placed on the lower holder so that the protruding part of the rod body faces upward and the upper holder is closed to tighten a draw latch, the rod body and the metal plate member are electrically connected via the leaf spring member, and a high voltage for ignition can be applied to the plasma torch.
