Abstract

Adaptable support for a torch characterized by having means to retain the gas bottles (3) of a torch of different diameters with the same device, and generate a larger support base, where the support comprises a laminar body in the shape of a disc and properties elastic that presents a through opening defined by an internal diameter (6), of a plurality of adjustment elements (2) of the laminar material itself and independent of each other that start concentrically from a diameter (7) substantially greater than the previous one and that are allowed its deformation.

Description

DESCRIPTION

ADAPTABLE SUPPORT FOR TORCH

Background

Welding by gas and with material input are used in various applications such as refrigeration or sanitation facilities, among others. Some of these torches have the regulating element and the flame nozzle fixed by a screw connection to a bottle, this being last in many occasions disposable. A large part of these bottles are considerably elongated, with which they have a low stability when forming a set with the screwed nozzle. Added to this is the complexity of certain jobs in which, for example, the ground has an inhomogeneous surface, which entails a possible risk as the torch can tip over due to poor support.

The state of the art includes documents that refer to supports for this type of torches, some, such as kitchen torches, have a tank or bottle whose contact surface with the ground is increased by means of an eave, either by means of an accessory or by forming constituent part of the deposit itself. In this way, they are specifically designed for a particular size of these, as in patent US 20210278079 with priority US202062987065P of the applicant Worthington Cylinder Corp which describes a torch intended to be used with one hand and that has a base, although loose, to deposit the set.

The plurality of gas bottles on the market requires a specific support for each of them.

The Applicant does not know of technical solutions that solve the problem set forth in an advantageous way as the invention recommended.

Object

Provide simple and efficient means that provide greater stability and therefore safety to torches, especially those in which the torch itself (the element from which the flame is produced and regulated) has a threaded part. directly from the body of the bottle or gas cartridge, in this specification the term torch will be understood as the bottle/nozzle assembly. Another object of this invention is to obtain a support that can be adapted to different bottle diameters without the need for any auxiliary element.

Description of the invention

The aim of the torch support is to improve the stability of the assembly formed by the bottle or cartridge and the nozzle that provides the flame, particularly in those in which the nozzle is attached to the bottle by means of a thread and not by means of a hose. It is common for jobs in which the torch is used to access the work point to be complex, for example, in new construction the floor may present damage or remains of materials, on other occasions the location of the weld forces the professional to adopt uncomfortable postures, which is why on some occasions the torch can tip over, presenting a risk of accident due to both the flame and the high temperature of the nozzle. On the other hand, there are different bottles on the market whose diameter differs depending on the supplier, generally and specifically the disposable ones are considerably elongated and slender, this gives them low stability when they overturn, especially when the gas charge is being consumed since the nozzle has considerable weight and shifts the center of gravity of the bottle.

It is therefore desirable to increase the stability of the torches by means of a simple and cheap device that can be placed in different bottles without the need to be adjusted by means of any accessory, and that can be easily removed for subsequent use.

The torch support comprises a cylindrical laminar body made of an elastic material that allows its deformation, it includes a through opening defined by an interior radius that determines the size of the smallest bottle that can be accommodated, which will be significantly larger than this for that there is a fit by tightening, concentric to this radius and the opening comprises a second radius that is substantially larger from which some adjustment elements of the laminar material itself start and are independent of each other and are allowed to deform. The length of these adjustment elements is thus determined by the difference between these two radii/diameters described.

The support is fixed by inserting it into the bottle through its central opening until its bases are flush respectively.

Versions have been provided in which the support material is a technical rubber or others in which the support material is a technical plastic with a high elastic coefficient.

Description of the drawings

For a better understanding of what is described in this report, some drawings are attached in which, by way of example, a list of the figures of the proposed invention is represented.

Figure 1 shows an isometric view of the support (1) for the torch with the adjustment elements (2), the internal through opening defined by the internal diameter (6) and the diameter (7) concentric to the previous one from which the adjustment elements emerge. adjustment.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the torch support (1) being introduced into the body of a bottle (3) and the deformation of the support body and the adjustment elements (2).

Figure 3 shows a side view made up of a gas bottle and its torch (4), as well as the torch support included in the assembly.

Description of a preferred embodiment

By way of example, a preferred embodiment is cited, the materials used in its manufacture being independent of the object of the invention, as well as the application methods and all accessory details that may arise, as long as they do not affect its essentiality.

The preferred description is made of a synthetic elastomer such as EVA rubber, the support has a laminar shape and a disc, Figure 1. By way of example and just to provide clarity to the implementation, this support can have been manufactured both by injection and by die-cutting. or cut by water starting from a sheet.

The support has a first centered and through internal opening defined by the internal diameter (6) of a larger and concentric diameter (7) from which a plurality of adjustment elements (2) these bodies are independent, in the case of this embodiment there are eight, in the form of battlements figure 1.

The range of bottle diameters that the same support can hold must be between the diameters (6 and 7) defined above.

The adjustment on a bottle is done without the need for any tool or accessory, it is only necessary to insert the bottle to be retained through the opening, figure 2 until flush with the base of the bottle, figure 3.
