Abstract

Equipement portatif de distribution de gaz comprenant une bouteille de gaz (1) ayant une hauteur inférieure à 50 cm, un robinet ou robinet-détendeur (2) de gaz monté sur la bouteille (1), des moyens de protection (3) mécanique agencées autour de la bouteille (1) et dudit robinet ou robinet-détendeur (2) de gaz, caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de protection (3) comprennent au moins une coque rigide externe (3) formée d'au moins deux sous-parties (3a, 3b, 5) comportant des moyens d'accrochage (10, 11) permettant de fixer solidairement lesdites sous-parties (3a, 3b, 5) l'une à l'autre. Un ou plusieurs éléments protecteurs (14a, 14b) supplémentaires sont agencés entre les demi-coques (3a, 3b) et le robinet ou robinet-détendeur (2) pour améliorer la protection du robinet (2). En outre, la coque rigide externe (3) a un profil externe présentant un étranglement (12) dimensionné de telle sorte qu'il permet une préhension manuelle de l'équipement au niveau de cet étranglement (12) par un utilisateur.

Portable gas distribution equipment comprising a gas cylinder (1) having a height of less than 50 cm, a valve or gas expansion valve (2) mounted on the bottle (1), mechanical protection means (3) arranged around the bottle (1) and said gas valve or expansion valve (2), characterized in that said protective means (3) comprise at least one outer rigid shell (3) formed of at least two sub-parts (3a, 3b, 5) comprising hooking means (10, 11) for securely fixing said sub-parts (3a, 3b, 5) to one another. One or more additional protective elements (14a, 14b) are arranged between the half-shells (3a, 3b) and the valve or pressure-reducing valve (2) to improve the protection of the valve (2). In addition, the outer rigid shell (3) has an outer profile having a constriction (12) dimensioned so that it allows manual gripping of the equipment at this constriction (12) by a user.
