L'invention concerne un porte-chalumeau formé d'un axe sur lequel est monté un pare-flamme et dont l'une des extrémités est pourvue d'une fixation et l'autre d'une fourchette. The invention relates to a torch holder formed by an axis on which is mounted a flame arrester and one end of which is provided with a fixing and the other with a fork.

D'une façon générale, le travail au chalumeau implique une perte de temps non négligeable du fait qu'il faut éteindre et rallumer la flamme, surtout lorsque cet outil n'est pas utilisé de façon continue. In general, working with a torch involves a significant loss of time because of the need to extinguish and relight the flame, especially when this tool is not used continuously.

En outre, le chalumeau peut être à l'origine de dégâts par le feu qui sont susceptibles d'avoir de graves conséquences. Enfin, le travailleur au chalumeau ne dispose jamais d'une totale liberté d'action pour des travaux complémentaires puisqu'il est amené à surveiller constamment la flamme de son chalumeau, qu'il tient le plus souvent d'une main. In addition, the blowtorch can cause fire damage which can have serious consequences. Finally, the torch worker never has total freedom of action for additional work since he is constantly monitoring the flame of his torch, which he most often holds in one hand.

L'invention vise principalement à augmenter la sécurité du travailleur qui a recours de façon réitérée au chalumeau et à lui permettre de disposer d'une totale liberté d'action lorsqu'il interrompt le travail au chalumeau pour le reprendre peu de temps aprés. The main object of the invention is to increase the safety of the worker who repeatedly uses the torch and to allow him to have total freedom of action when he interrupts torch work and resumes it shortly after.

Dans le porte-chalumeau selon l'invention, la fourchette est destinée à recueillir le tuyau du chalumeau, ce tuyau recevant une bride munie d'un téton, lequel vient se placer dans un logement prévu dans le fond de la fourchette, assurant ainsi le maintien en place du chalumeau. In the torch holder according to the invention, the fork is intended to collect the pipe from the torch, this pipe receiving a flange provided with a stud, which is placed in a housing provided in the bottom of the fork, thus ensuring the holding the torch in place.

De préférence, le porte-chalumeau est encore muni d'un système de commande servant à régler le flux de l'alimentation du chalumeau. Preferably, the torch holder is also provided with a control system serving to regulate the flow of the torch supply.

Les dessins annexés représentent, à titre d'exemple, une réalisation possible de l'invention. The accompanying drawings show, by way of example, a possible embodiment of the invention.

La fig. I représente une vue de profil de l'ensemble du portechalumeau avec le chalumeau. Fig. I represents a profile view of the entire torch holder with the torch.

La fig. 2 représente une des variantes de la fixation du portechalumeau. Fig. 2 shows one of the variants of the attachment of the torch holder.

La fig. 3 représente une vue en coupe transversale de la fourchette comprenant un logement dans son fond destiné à recevoir le téton dont est munie la bride du tuyau du chalumeau. Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the fork comprising a housing in its bottom intended to receive the stud which is provided with the flange of the pipe of the torch.

Le porte-chalumeau représenté comprend un axe vertical 1, une fixation 2 ainsi qu'une fourchette 3. Un pare-flamme 4 est monté sur l'axe vertical 1 et peut faire l'objet d'un réglage en hauteur. La paroi intérieure du pare-flamme 4 est tapissée d'une matière ignifuge. The torch holder shown comprises a vertical axis 1, a fixing 2 and a fork 3. A flame arrester 4 is mounted on the vertical axis 1 and can be adjusted in height. The interior wall of the flame arrester 4 is lined with a flame retardant material.

Le tuyau 5 du chalumeau 6 est pourvu d'une bride 7 munie d'un téton 8 qui, lorsque le chalumeau est posé sur le porte-chalumeau, vient se placer dans le logement 9 prévu à cet effet dans le fond de la fourchette 3, assurant ainsi le maintien en place du chalumeau 6. The pipe 5 of the torch 6 is provided with a flange 7 provided with a stud 8 which, when the torch is placed on the torch holder, is placed in the housing 9 provided for this purpose in the bottom of the fork 3 , thus ensuring that the torch is kept in place 6.

Le porte-chalumeau selon les fig. 1 et 3 comprend un système de commande, soit un interrupteur mécanique 10 monté sur l'axe vertical 1 dont le levier 15 est actionné par le téton 8. Deux valves magnétiques 11 et 12 montées sur les tuyaux d'alimentation 13 et 14 du chalumeau 6 sont commandées par l'interrupteur 10. The torch holder according to fig. 1 and 3 comprises a control system, ie a mechanical switch 10 mounted on the vertical axis 1, the lever 15 of which is actuated by the stud 8. Two magnetic valves 11 and 12 mounted on the supply pipes 13 and 14 of the torch 6 are controlled by switch 10.

Lorsque le chalumeau 6 est posé sur le porte-chalumeau, le téton 8, agissant sur le levier 15, ferme le contact de l'interrupteur 10; une des valves magnétiques ferme le flux d'oxygène et l'autre diminue le flux de gaz, ce qui réduit la flamme. When the torch 6 is placed on the torch holder, the stud 8, acting on the lever 15, closes the contact of the switch 10; one of the magnetic valves closes the oxygen flow and the other decreases the gas flow, which reduces the flame.

Lorsque le chalumeau 6 est enlevé du porte-chalumeau, le contact s'ouvre et les valves 11 et 12 reviennent à leur position initiale. En conséquence, l'oxygène et le gaz reprennent leur flux réglé au moyen des manomètres habituels. When the torch 6 is removed from the torch holder, the contact opens and the valves 11 and 12 return to their initial position. Consequently, the oxygen and the gas resume their regulated flow by means of the usual pressure gauges.

Le travailleur dispose ainsi d'un instrument lui procurant un gain de temps appréciable, surtout lors de travaux au chalumeau qui nécessitent des interruptions fréquentes. En outre, sa sécurité se trouve accrue dans la mesure où il n'a pas à surveiller constamment la flamme de son chalumeau. Le travailleur peut se servir de ses deux mains lorsqu'il est amené à interrompre durant un court laps de temps son travail au chalumeau. Enfin, le porte-chalumeau muni du système de commande permet d'économiser dé l'énergie. The worker thus has an instrument which saves him appreciable time, especially during work with a torch which requires frequent interruptions. In addition, his security is increased since he does not have to constantly monitor the flame of his torch. The worker can use both hands when he has to interrupt his torch work for a short time. Finally, the torch holder fitted with the control system saves energy.
