Although the handle part 12 is shown extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle head part 11 of the welding torch 1, this angle can be arbitrarily set, for example, from 60 degrees to 60 degrees by the coil element 16. It can be changed within a range of 120 degrees, and "extending in substantially perpendicular directions" in the claims includes such a form. The handle portion 2 is provided with a power switch 14 for operating the welding torch 1. The tip of the handle portion 2 is connected to a welding power source device via a torch cable 15.

When the welding torch 1 is held by the portable holder 2, it is held by the cylindrical body 4 with the torch tip facing downward, and is prevented from rotating by the guide member 5. The main body plate 3 is formed by punching a metal plate or the like, and has a cutout opening 31 formed in its upper part for attachment to the work belt 20. The cylindrical body 4 may be formed by processing a metal plate or the like, and may be fixed to the main body plate 3 by welding. The cylindrical body 4 is formed to have an inner diameter slightly larger than an outer diameter of the nozzle head 11 so that the nozzle head 11 can be inserted therein with a certain degree of freedom.

The guide member 5 includes two bars 51 and 52 facing each other, which restrict the rotation of the handle part 12 around the axis of the nozzle head part 11, and the upper ends of the two bars 51 and 52. and an arcuate bar 53 formed into an arcuate shape through which the nozzle head portion 11 of the welding torch 1 can be inserted. The two bars 51 and 52 restrict the handle portion 12 so that it is oriented diagonally to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the main body plate 3 (diagonally to the left when viewed from the front of the mobile holder 2).

The two bars 51 and 52 and the arcuate bar 53 may be formed by bending metal rods and then fixed to the cylindrical body 4 by welding. The arcuate bar 53 has a circular arc necessary to pass through the nozzle head 11, and after the nozzle head 11 is inserted, a torch cap located on the rear end side of the nozzle head 11 and having a smaller diameter than the nozzle head 11 is formed. Confront 13. There is a step between the nozzle head section 11 and the torch cap 13, and when the axis of the nozzle head section 11 is slightly tilted, the arcuate bar 53 comes into contact with the torch cap 13 (see Fig. 2). , to prevent the welding torch 1 from accidentally falling off.
