Abstract

L'invention concerne un chapeau de protection (10a-10c) d'une bouteille de gaz comportant :
- un corps (11a-11c) configuré pour recouvrir un robinet d'une bouteille de gaz, et
- une bague (12a-12c) solidaire du corps (11a-11c) et comportant un filetage (13) destiné à coopérer avec un filetage d'une bouteille de gaz de sorte à maintenir le chapeau (10a-10c) sur une bouteille de gaz,
caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une poignée (22a-22c) fixée avec le corps (11a-11c), la poignée (22a-22c) comportant :
- deux montants (25) fixés sur les côtés du corps (11a-11c) et s'étendant dans la longueur du corps (11a-11c),
- une barre de préhension (23) distante des montants (25) et s'étendant perpendiculairement aux montants (25), et
- deux bras de liaison (24) reliant chacun une extrémité distincte de la barre de préhension (23) à un montant (25).

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a protective cap (10a-10c) of a gas cylinder comprising:
a body (11a-11c) configured to cover a valve of a gas cylinder, and
- A ring (12a-12c) integral with the body (11a-11c) and having a thread (13) for cooperating with a thread of a gas cylinder so as to hold the cap (10a-10c) on a bottle of gas,
characterized in that it comprises a handle (22a-22c) fixed with the body (11a-11c), the handle (22a-22c) comprising:
two uprights (25) fixed on the sides of the body (11a-11c) and extending in the length of the body (11a-11c),
a gripping bar (23) remote from the uprights (25) and extending perpendicularly to the uprights (25), and
- Two link arms (24) each connecting a separate end of the gripping bar (23) to a post (25).
