Abstract

Wedge for fastening gas cylinders, consisting of two wedges (1), joined by means of an extension cylinder (2), characterized in that they can be extended over the entire length of the extension cylinder (2), which has a stop (8) at each of its ends to prevent the cylinder (2) from leaving each of the wedges (1) in which it is hidden while they are attached.

Description

Wedges for holding gas cylinders.

The following invention relates to a device consisting of two wedges joined by a mobile bolt hidden inside them, this bolt facilitates the deployment thereof, at a distance determined by the width of each of the wedges where it will be housed the bolt. The width of the wedges will be determined according to the size of the bottles sold. The connecting cylinder may have a length equal to the sum of the width of the two wedges, minus the sum of the thickness of the sides of these, with the idea that when the wedges are joined, there is no space between them and occupy less space Not being extended.

Its industrial application is framed in the field of the automobile industry, and in particular in the anchoring systems for transportable cargoes in boot or cargo areas.

At present there is no device specially designed for transporting gas cylinders safely in private or industrial vehicles, except vehicles expressly designed for this function.

Description of the invention

The Wedges for the Clamping of Gas Bottles object of the following invention is composed of three parts that form a set. Two wedges, a connecting cylinder on which these are separated or joined and two adjustable straps with a hook at their ends. Each wedge will have a non-slip base. In the front part where the wedge is formed, it will not be determined by a straight line at an angle from the top to the bottom, but the wedge will be formed by a curve that will have a different radius for each type of cylinder that is marketed . These same wedges will have on its back an adjustable tape, sewn to the bolt of the fastening hole and a hook at its end, which will serve to anchor the cylinder to the handles that are in the loading area of most vehicles.

The cylinders that are transported in private vehicles, normally go without any type of support that prevents the said gas cylinder from being at the mercy of the swings of the driving, inevitably hitting the walls of the trunk or loading area in which the we transport

With the invention proposed here, the problem of having to carry the gas cylinders loose while being transported in vehicles not adapted for this type of load and that pose a risk for driving, having to look for homemade ways to avoid cylinder rolls inside the cargo compartment and can even pose a serious risk in the event of an accident. Since with this invention the transported gas cylinder is fully secured and without any movement option.

For a better understanding of what is expressed in this specification, some drawings are attached below which, by way of non-limiting example, represent a preferred embodiment and its operation.

Figure 1.- Perspective view of the extended and closed wedges.

Figure 2.- Elevation view of the extended and closed wedges.

Figure 3.- Example view in elevation and profile of the Wedges performing the function of holding a gas cylinder.

The numbered elements correspond to:

1.-Wedge.

2.-Extension cylinder.

3.-Fastening tape.

4.-Adjustment buckles.

5.-Adjustment tape.

6.-Grab hook.

7.-Hole fixing the tape to the wedge.

8.-Extension cylinder stop.

9.-Non-slip surface.

10.-Cross bolt of the fixing hole.

A preferred embodiment is constituted from two wedges (1), preferably made of plastic compounds, joined by a cylinder (2) that allows the extension of the wedges (1), the wedges (1) will have a non-slip base preferably of materials derived from rubber, as well as a hole with a transverse bolt in the area after what we call the hole for fixing the tape to the wedge (7), from this hole (7) the

5 fastening tape (3), which will preferably be sewn to the transverse bolt (10) of the fixing hole (7) and will have at its end a grip hook (6), The fastening tape (3) will also have a buckle adjustment (4) with an adjustment tape (5) that will ensure the grip of the load.

The extension cylinder (2) will have a stop (8) of larger diameter at each of its ends, so that the cylinder (2) can extend along its entire length, without leaving the cavity of each of the wedges (1). Base

10 of the wedges (1) will be a non-slip surface (9).

Claims (2)

1. Wedge for holding gas cylinders, consisting of two wedges (1), joined by means of an extension cylinder (2), characterized in that they can be extended over the entire length of the extension cylinder (2), which It has a stop (8) at each of its ends to prevent the cylinder (2) from leaving each of the wedges 5 (1) in which it is hidden while they are joined. 2. Wedge for holding gas cylinders according to claim 1, characterized in that each of the wedges (1) can be extended by means of the extension cylinder (2), the base of each wedge (1) will be a non-slip surface (9) and the back of each wedge (1) houses a fixing hole (7). which house the fastening tapes (3). 10 3. Wedge for holding gas cylinders, according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that each of the wedges (1) can be extended by means of the extension cylinder (2), the rear area of each wedge (1) houses a fixing hole (7) which houses a transverse bolt (10) to which the fastening tapes (3) will be preferably sewn, at the same time this fastening tape (3) will incorporate an adjustment buckle (4) to the that an adjustment tape (5) will be attached, which at the end will have a grip hook (6).
