Definitions

  • the invention relates to a handle of a burner device. Moreover, the invention relates to a burner apparatus comprising such a handle.
  • Burner devices are known from the prior art, which are required, for example, for applying bituminous welding tracks on roofs of buildings.
  • Such burner devices have a burner, which is connected via a burner tube with a handle on which the burner device can be held by an operator.
  • the burner tube Through the burner tube, the burner has a long lever arm to the handle, so that high torques act on the handle. These must be picked up and balanced by the operator, resulting in unfavorable postures.
  • the conventional handle leads to a less ergonomic handling of the burner device.
  • a handle of a burner device comprising a first connection and a second connection and a hand element.
  • the first port and the second port are each for connection to either a burner or a fuel gas supply.
  • a connection to a fuel gas supply can be connected to the first connection or to the second connection, while the burner can be connected to the respectively other connection.
  • a connecting pipe is mounted, wherein the hand element is arranged on the connecting pipe.
  • the hand element extends at least partially around the connecting pipe.
  • the hand element has a gripping area provided for grasping by a hand of an operator.
  • the hand-held element has an abutment area intended for engagement with a forearm of the operator.
  • the term forearm also includes in particular the wrist.
  • the abutment region has a greater radial extent away from the connecting tube, at least at a partial region, relative to the gripping region.
  • the investment area is optimally applied to a forearm of the operator.
  • the contact area can be applied to the forearm of that arm whose hand surrounds the gripping area. This results in lever forces resulting from a burner connected to the handle being diverted into the forearm via the abutment area.
  • the gripping area and the contact area are integrally formed. This allows a simple and low-cost production of Handelements. At the same time the handle is compact.
  • the gripping area is hollow cylindrical and the contact area is flat.
  • the hollow cylindrical shape in particular comprises a substantially oval cross section.
  • the gripping area surrounds the connecting tube in the circumferential direction, while the abutment area is present only at a partial area of the circumference of the connecting tube.
  • the contact region extends substantially tangentially to the connecting tube.
  • the contact region is advantageously at least partially disposed on a side of the first connection or the second connection opposite the connecting tube.
  • the contact area is at least partially not arranged radially outside and at the level of the connecting pipe. Rather, the contact area extends beyond the first connection or the second connection.
  • This fulcrum is in particular the area where a hand grips the gripping area.
  • a valve device is preferably arranged between the connecting tube and the first port or the second port.
  • the valve device is used in particular for setting a flow rate of fuel gas, whereby an output of the burner device can be adjusted.
  • the valve device is in particular arranged adjacent to the hand element, in particular to the gripping area.
  • the valve device is preferably arranged between the first connection or the second connection and the hand element.
  • the directional data refer in particular to an axial direction of the connecting pipe. It is preferably provided that the valve device is arranged directly on the first port or the second port, wherein the connecting tube opens into the valve device.
  • valve device and the contact area are arranged on opposite sides of the gripping area.
  • an axial direction of the connecting pipe is to be used.
  • the gripping region preferably extends from the valve body to the first port or second port.
  • valve device and the abutment area are arranged on the same side of the gripping area. This leads in particular to an additional improvement in ergonomics.
  • a pivot point is defined from which lever arms extend to the burner and to the abutment area. Since the valve device is on the side of the abutment area, a weight of the valve device acts as a counterweight to the weight of the burner. Thus, a force exerted by the abutment area on the forearm of the operator is reduced.
  • the valve device particularly preferably comprises a valve lever.
  • the valve lever is used to easily and quickly set a Ausgans intricate a connected to the handle burner by a flow of fuel gas is easily and quickly adjustable.
  • the valve lever extends to the gripping area so that it can be easily reached by the operator.
  • the valve lever thus extends substantially parallel to the connecting pipe.
  • the valve lever and the contact area are advantageously arranged on different sides of the connecting tube. This relates in particular to a radial direction of the connecting pipe.
  • the handle has a top and a bottom after being connected to a burner. If the handle is correctly aligned, ie if the upper side is at the top and the bottom is at the bottom, then the burner is in particular directed downwards. In such an orientation, it is preferably provided that the valve arm below and the contact area above the Connecting pipe is arranged.
  • contact area and valve lever are ergonomically arranged on the handle.
  • the contact region preferably corresponds to a maximum of 60%, preferably a maximum of 50%, particularly preferably a maximum of 40%, of a total length of the commercial element along the connecting tube.
  • the handpiece has an overall length that measures along the connecting tube. This means that the total length consists of a length of the gripping area and a length of the contact area, which in turn are measured along the connecting pipe.
  • the hand element is preferably made of an impact-resistant plastic.
  • the one-piece design of gripping area and contact area can be realized easily and with little effort.
  • a dimension of the commercial element can be easily and effortlessly finished to a desired specification. Due to the impact resistance of the plastic, from which the hand element is made, the handle is very robust and insensitive to external influences.
  • the invention also relates to a burner device.
  • the burner device comprises a handle as previously described.
  • a burner tube is attached to the first port or to the second port of the grip.
  • a burner is coupled to the burner tube.
  • the burner device can be picked up by an operator on the handle.
  • the handle in particular by the investment area, the burner device is ergonomic even with long burner tubes and / or heavy burners by the operator.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view while FIG. 2 a side view shows.
  • a part of a burner tube 12 is shown, which connects the handle 1 with a burner 11.
  • the handle 1 has a first terminal 2 and a second terminal 3. It is provided that with the first port 2 of the burner 11, in particular via the burner tube 12, is connectable, while via the second port 3, a fuel gas supply is connectable.
  • a connecting pipe 9 is arranged between the first port 2 and the second port 3.
  • a valve device 7 is mounted between the first port 2 and the second port 3. It is provided that the valve device 7 is attached directly to the first port 2.
  • the connecting pipe 9 extends from the second port 3 to the valve device 7.
  • the valve device 7 allows regulating a flow rate of the fuel gas from the fuel gas supply to the burner 11, i. from the second terminal 3 to the first terminal 2.
  • the connecting tube 9 is at least partially surrounded by a hand element 4.
  • the hand element 4 provides an interface between the handle 1 and an operator, on which the operator can receive and hold the handle 1.
  • the hand element 4 on a gripping region 5, which is formed in a hollow cylinder and surrounds the connecting pipe 9.
  • the hollow cylindrical shape has a substantially oval cross section.
  • the gripping area 5 is provided for grasping with one hand of the operator.
  • the hand element 4 has a contact region 6.
  • the abutment area 6 is provided for abutment against a forearm of the operator.
  • the abutment region 6 can rest against the arm of the arm whose hand grips the gripping region 5.
  • the abutment region 6 has a maximum radial distance to the connecting tube 9, which is greater than a maximum radial distance of the gripping region 5 to the connecting tube 9.
  • the abutment region 6 has a greater radial extent than the gripping region 5, so that the hand element 4 on the one hand, an optimal gripping by the hand and an optimal application to the forearm allows.
  • the handle 1 is ergonomically constructed and allows a high ease of use.
  • the abutment region 6 is formed integrally with the gripping region 5.
  • the hand element 4 is simple and low-effort and compact.

  • the contact area 6 by its shape is ideal for contact with the forearm.
  • the second connection 3 is protected from the forearm by the abutment region 6, so that the risk of damage to the grip 1, in particular the second connection 3 or a hose connected to the second connection 3, is minimized.
  • the gripping region 5 is in particular completely attached between the first connection 2 and the second connection 3.
  • the abutment region 6 extends beyond the second connection 3, so that abutment region 6 is at least partially disposed on a side of the second connection 3 opposite the connection tube 9.
  • a pivot point is created on the gripping area 5.
  • a torque which is generated by the weight of the burner 11 and the burner tube 12 acting as a lever arm acts around this pivot point. If the abutment region 6 bears against the operator's forearm, this torque can be compensated for by the contact force of the abutment region 6 on the forearm and the distance between the pivot point and the abutment region acting as a lever arm. The operator can thus handle the handle 1 ergonomically, holding forces for the operator are minimized.
  • the abutment region 6 has a length which corresponds to a maximum of 60%, preferably a maximum of 50%, particularly preferably a maximum of 40%, of an overall length of the trade element 4 along the connecting tube 9.
