Three metal tubes rise from a steel base, each of the tubes is interrupted. The gaps between the top and bottom of the tubes can be closed with screwed notched wheels. At the base of the tubes is a projection for attaching a gas line. Just above the projection of the three tubes, there is a vent. Each of the three tubes ends in a nozzle.
