  • a neon starter is cylindrical in shape.
  • the clamping means may therefore be a hollow cylinder whose inner diameter is substantially greater than the diameter of the choke.
  • the thickness of the wall of said clamping means must in this case be sufficiently thin to allow the assembly to be introduced between the choke socket and the choke itself.
  • said gripping means is provided with at least one blocking means making it possible to limit the stroke of the gripping means at a determined distance over the height of the choke body and serving as a stop for the head of said choke inserted into the choke. cylinder.
  • said locking means is in abutment with the notches or fins located on the head of the choke so as to secure in rotation the means clamping with the choke.
  • said locking means makes it possible to rotate said choke with respect to the bushing by means of gripping means.
  • Said locking means may consist of at least one lug located inside and on the periphery of the gripping means.
  • the locking means may consist of two lugs whose shape allows them to nest in said notches and located vis-à-vis inside the clamping means.
  • said gripping means is provided with means for guiding the tabs of the base of the choke with the notches of the corresponding socket.
  • Said guide means may consist of a slot or a straight notch on the surface of the gripping means that the user will position in the axis of one of the choke legs at the time of insertion of the clamping means on the starter.
  • said gripping means consists of at least one electrical insulating means.
  • the gripping means may consist of a handle of variable size for example plastic or whose surface is at least completely covered with an insulating film and whose ergonomic shape must allow a firm manual entry.
  • said gripping means comprises means for attaching said device.
  • an orifice may pass through the handle in whole or in part so as to introduce a rope or other attachment means so as to attach the device to the belt or the wrist of the user for example.
  • the device may comprise integrated lighting means.
  • the lighting means must consist of a supply means and a switch accessible on the surface of the gripping means so as to illuminate if the need arises.
  • the supply means may be a battery inserted into the gripping means. In one case, it may be a hollow handle of the shape of a stack.
  • FIG. 1 a disassembly device and mounting a choke 10 intended to be inserted between a first socket integral with a support and a fluorescent lamp, the other end of said lamp being disposed in a second integral sleeve said support.
  • a choke 10 comprises a body with a first end a starter base consisting of a base on which are fixed two tabs which make it possible to establish contact and at a second end a socket for securing the lamp.
  • the base of the choke is secured to a socket comprising a housing whose shapes are adapted to those of the choke body, the bottom of the housing having two semicircular grooves for blocking the legs of the choke, or to release them, by a simple rotation.
  • the body has a cylindrical shape of diameter d, the housing of the sleeve having a cylindrical shape with a diameter D greater than d so as to provide an annular space between the choke and the socket.
  • the starter may include at the body lines for locating the position of the legs.
  • the choke 10 comprises, on the periphery of the body, raised, recessed or projecting shapes, for example in the form of two notches or two diametrically opposite fins.
  • the device according to the invention consists of an assembly 1 of two elements connected to each other, for example by an interlocking system 12.
  • One of these elements 2 consists of a means for clamping the choke.
  • the other element 3 consists of a gripping means.
  • Said gripping means 3 is a handle of a size sufficient to be gripped by a middle-aged man's hand in the same manner as any current tool handle such as a screwdriver or electric screwdriver.
  • the element consisting of a clamping means 2 is of hollow cylindrical shape, which allows it to match the shape of the starter 10 and to insert along the walls of a choke socket.
  • the inside diameter of the clamping means 2 is substantially greater than the diameter of the choke 10.
  • the thickness of the wall 4 of the clamping means 3 is sufficiently thin to allow the assembly to be introduced into the annular space formed between the starter bushing and the starter itself. even.
  • the gripping means 2 comprises a guiding means 5 to promote the positioning of the tabs of the base of the choke with their housing in the socket to which the choke 10 must be secured.
  • the guide means consists of two slots provided facing each other over two-thirds of the height of the clamping means 2. When placing the clamping means, the slots are aligned with the tabs the starter's base and make it possible to identify their position permanently.
  • the guide means 5 may be in the form of a marking on the outer surface of the gripping means.
  • the mounting and disassembly device comprises a locking means for allowing the starter to rotate in order to disengage the lugs from their housing by pivoting said choke with respect to the bushing to which it is attached.
  • the gripping means comprises at least one shape capable of cooperating with the relief shapes of the choke.
  • the locking means comprises at least one lug, preferably two lugs 6, 6 'positioned facing each other inside the gripping means, as illustrated in FIGS. figures 1 , 3 and 4 .
  • Each lug 6, 6 ' is positioned in a notch of the choke 10 so that when the disassembly device and mounting choke rotates it rotates the choke.
