Description

The invention relates to a holding arrangement for bottles, in particular gas bottles, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such holding arrangements for holding a bottle are known from the prior art, but they have disadvantages in terms of handleability, space requirement and occupational safety.

For filling empty bottles, which are referred to below as target bottles, by means of gravity filling a full bottle, which is referred to below as a source bottle, must be upside down or at least aligned so that the outlet valve is at least partially disposed below the bottle volume. From the source bottle is bottled.

In particular, for filling a serving as a target bottle propane gas cylinder with liquefied gas from the source bottle so-called Gasumfüllstutzen on the exhaust valve of the source bottle, which is usually a 11 kg propane cylinder, screwed and the other end of the gas Umfüllstutzens with the valve of the soldering bottle screwed. To fill the soldering bottle, the source bottle must now be set up so that its contents or the liquid gas from the source bottle flows by gravity into the target bottle. Such an arrangement of the two bottles to each other and such an orientation of the source bottle is necessary to ensure that the bottle contents of the source bottle or the liquid propane gas is present directly on the outlet valve of the dispenser bottle and automatically when opening the two cylinder valves by a pressure equalization in the empty Target bottle can flow.

In practice, it is also not uncommon for the source bottle to be held upside down between the knees of the person performing the filling operation during the filling process and to be deposited on the bottom after the bottling process has been completed while closing the bottle valves becomes. In this way, on the one hand damage the Gasumfüllstutzens possible, on the other hand requires a separation of the Lötflasche from Gasumfüllstutzen a previous turning of the bottle assembly and thus undesirable turbulence of the filled into the soldering gas, which leads to an unsteady Lötflammenausbildung when using the soldering bottle.

There are Umfüllhalter known, which are designed as a hand-trolley. In such a trolley, the source bottle is fixed at a high point so that the center of gravity of such hand-trolley is high. To avoid the risk of tipping over, hand-held trolleys are designed to be bulky, making them very bulky and taking up a lot of space.

In previously known wall brackets, the bottle is fixed on the circumference, so that corresponding holding devices require a space that projects beyond the dimensions of the bottle.

From the DE 93 01 537 U1 For example, a gas bottle holding assembly is known, which has a bow-shaped strap connected to the attachment base for gripping the gas bottle to a mounting base, which spans the body of the gas bottle. For valve protection, the valve of the gas cylinder accommodated in the holding arrangement is provided with a valve cap, which is connected to the mounting base via a holder.

The invention has for its object to provide a holding assembly for gas cylinders, which allows a valve protection function with less structural complexity.

This object is achieved by the holding arrangement for bottles with the features of claim 1.

According to the invention, the holding arrangement for bottles, in particular gas bottles, comprises a fixing base with a fastening device in order to fix the holding arrangement to a fixed structure. In addition, the holding arrangement comprises a Fixierbügel which is adapted to receive a bottle and to be arranged on a fixing located between the fixing base and the Fixierbügel fixing to a fixing. The fixing base comprises a first holding device and the fixing bracket comprises a second holding device cooperating with the first holding device. The first holding device and the second holding device are formed so that the fixing bracket is adjustable to the fixing base such that the fixing bracket is adjustable at least between a first position and a second position.

The holding arrangement according to the invention is thus constructed in two parts, wherein the fixing base of the fixed fixation of the holding arrangement is used on a fixed structure. As a solid structure can serve, for example, a post, a wall, in particular a building wall, or a bearing surface wall of a vehicle. Due to the fixing base, it is thus no longer necessary to arrange the holding arrangement on the floor.

Also, a source bottle no longer has to hang from an object. Rather, the Bottle are arranged on a parallel to their solid structure.

The second part of the holding arrangement is formed by the Fixierbügel which is attributable to the bottle and by means of suitable means with the bottle is firmly connected.

Between the fixing base and the Fixierbügel a single gap is formed. The Fixierbügel comprises the bottle in the longitudinal direction namely only at one point, so that the rest of the circumference of the bottle is freely accessible. This has the advantage that several bottles provided with the fixing bracket can be arranged directly next to one another to save space.

The fixing base has a Fixierbasisvektor, which passes through the fixing base in its longitudinal direction and is directed upward when arranged on the fixed structure. In addition, the Fixierbügel is penetrated in its longitudinal direction by a Fixierbügelvektor, which, when the Fixierbügel is arranged on the Fixierbasis, in the first position parallel to the Fixierbasisvektor and in the second position is anti-parallel to the Fixierbasisvektor. In other words, the Fixierbügel can be adjusted to the Fixierbasis by 180 degrees. As a result, the bottle can be brought from an upright storage in the first position into a head superposition in the second position.

An assembly position of the holding arrangement is realized when the fixing base fixed to a fixed structure and the fixing bracket is arranged on the fixing base.

With the invention, a holding arrangement is provided, which is simple and compact and allows secure fixing of a bottle and a process-safe and danger-reduced transfer from a source bottle into a target bottle.

According to a preferred embodiment of the retaining arrangement, the fixing device of the fixing base comprises Befestigungsbohrrungen. As a result, the fixing base in a simple manner and permanently fixed to a solid structure. The number of mounting holes may vary depending on the embodiment of the fixing base, and the choice of fasteners will depend on the solid structure, and in particular its load-bearing capacity, as well as the load on the support structure created by the bottle.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the fixing base comprises a base plate which is designed to fix the fixing base to the fixed structure. A base plate is particularly suitable for receiving lever forces arising from the bottle and introducing them into the solid structure. In other words, the fixing base can be supported by its base plate on the solid structure. Due to the large-area support, moreover, tilting between the fixed structure and the fixing base can be avoided, which only minimally stresses fastening means for fixing the fixing base to the fixed structure.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the fixing bracket has an adjusting device in order to be adjustable in length. Such an adjustment ensures the use of bottles of different lengths.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the fixing bracket on a valve protection bar. Such a valve protection bar covers a cylinder valve when taken bottle at least in sections, and thus serves to protect the cylinder valve against accidental shocks or shocks in the recorded state or during transport. It is also conceivable that the valve protection bar at the same time serves as a closure bar, which allows a fixation of the bottle neck or the cylinder valve.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the second holding device has at least one holding recess into which the first holding device engages. Thereby, the Fixierbügel can be easily arranged or mounted on the Fixierbasis and disassembled. When forming the first holding device and the second holding device in the form of a force and / or positive connection, a secure connection and / or plug connection between the fixing base and the fixing bracket can be realized.

In a further preferred embodiment of the retaining arrangement according to the invention, the fixing bracket is arranged tilted to the vertical in the second position. Preferably, this tilting at an angle of 5 to 60 degrees. Even more preferred, however, is tilting at an angle of 40 to 50 degrees. Due to the tilting of the fixing bracket, the bottle received by the fixing bracket is also necessarily tilted accordingly. The angle in which the bottle is then arranged on the fixed structure can thus be chosen so that the bottle is not aligned exactly perpendicular to the valve pointing down, but obliquely in accordance with the angle. This has the advantage that any contamination present in the bottle during a transfer process of the bottle contents in a target bottle not in the valve the source bottle can get. Thus, clogging of the valve of the source bottle, the target bottle or valves of devices which are connected to the target bottle following the transfer operation can be advantageously excluded. Possible devices of this type may be, for example, soldering torches.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the fixing base on both sides of a vertical Fixierbasismittelebene each comprising a first side plate portion, on which the first holding device is arranged. In addition, the Fixierbügel comprises on both sides of a vertical Fixierbügelmittelebene each have a second side plate portion, on which the second holding device is arranged at least in sections. In the assembled position, the abutting first and second side plate sections can thus serve for a secure and play-free arrangement of the fixing strap on the fixing base.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the first holding device comprises at least one retaining tongue, which engages in the retaining recess to allow a reversible holding the Fixierbügels in the first position and in the second position. By hanging or attaching the Fixierbügels on the at least one retaining tongue thus easy assembly is guaranteed.

It is also conceivable for the first side plate sections to be angled toward the fixing base center plane. As a result, they fulfill a guiding and centering function for the fixing bracket, which can be pushed onto the first side panel sections during assembly with its second side panel sections and is thus necessarily centered with respect to the vertical fixing base center plane.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the fixing bracket comprises a plug-on plate on which the second holding device is arranged at least in sections. The plug-on is particularly suitable for stable support of the Fixierbügels to the Fixierbasis.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the fixing base has a fixation bracket facing, preferably circular first surface of revolution. In addition, in this embodiment, the fixing bracket has a preferably circular second rotation surface facing the fixing base. The two surfaces of rotation are in mounting position to each other and are movable relative to each other or rotatable. The two adjoining surfaces also serve to transmit forces, e.g. Leverage between the Fixierbügel and Fixierbasis.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the first holding device comprises a bolt penetrated by a rotation axis, which engages in the at least one holding recess, in order to allow a rotation of the fixing bracket about the axis of rotation. Thus, by turning the Fixierbügels both the first position and the second position can be realized in a simple manner. In other words, the bottle received by the fixing bracket can be turned upside down to perform a filling operation. The bottle can then be rotated to an upright position. By rotating it is also possible to turn the bottle in any position. Compared to an embodiment in which the Fixierbügel is connected by means of plugging or jamming with the Fixierbasis, this embodiment has the advantage that it allows a reversal of the recorded bottle on the head, without the Fixierbügel this unmounted from the Fixierbasis, flipped over and again would have to be hung. There is thus no change to the position instead of disassembly.

The bolt is a cylindrical object and may be formed, for example, as a threaded rod or other suitable element.

In a further preferred embodiment of the holding arrangement according to the invention, the first holding device is arranged on the fixing base and the second holding device is arranged on the fixing bracket such that a statically balanced system is formed when the bottle is received by the fixing bracket. In other words, the rotatable support assembly has no static imbalance. The holding arrangement is thereby balanced such that the bottle is infinitely adjustable together with the Fixierbügels between the at least first position and the second position.

Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are the description, the drawings and the claims removed.

Two embodiments of a holding arrangement for bottles according to the invention are shown schematically simplified in the drawing and are explained in more detail in the following description.
