[0019] In one embodiment, the pistol grip has a mounting contour for mounting the pistol grip to a welding torch, in particular a welding torch grip shell. In this way, a pistol grip formed separately from the welding torch can be arranged for mounting on the welding torch or the welding torch grip shell. In particular, the mounting contour can be formed by an upper region of the pistol grip body.
[0020] In one embodiment of the system, the mounting contour is preferably adapted to a corresponding mounting counter-contour of the welding torch handle and / or the welding torch in order to be able to arrange the pistol grip on the welding torch handle and / or on the welding torch.
[0021] The magazine opening is preferably located on a side of the pistol grip opposite the mounting contour, in particular on the underside of the pistol grip. This allows the magazine to be easily removed or inserted without colliding with the welding torch.
[0022] In one embodiment, the pistol grip has fastening means for tool-free attachment of the pistol grip to a welding torch, in particular a welding torch grip shell. By providing fastening means for tool-free attachment of the pistol grip to a welding torch, the welder can quickly and easily mount the pistol grip on the welding torch as needed and remove it again as needed, eliminating the need to switch between welding torches with and without a pistol grip.
[0023] The fastening means can be actuated without tools, in particular manually. In particular, the fastening means can comprise one or more mechanical fastening elements that can be adjusted without tools between a locking position for holding the pistol grip on a welding torch, in particular on a welding torch grip shell, and an unlocking position for releasing the pistol grip from the welding torch, in particular the welding torch grip shell.

[0024] In one embodiment of the system, the fastening means of the pistol grip are preferably adapted to the welding torch grip shell and / or the welding torch in such a way that the pistol grip can be fastened to the welding torch grip shell and / or the welding torch using the fastening means. The fastening means of the pistol grip can, in particular, comprise one or more fastening elements that interact with corresponding fastening counter-elements on the welding torch grip shell and / or the welding torch in such a way that the pistol grip is held, preferably in a form-fitting manner, on the welding torch grip shell and / or the welding torch.
[0025] In one embodiment, the pistol grip has a manually operable fastening actuation for unlocking and / or locking the fastening means. The fastening actuation preferably comprises a manually operable mechanical fastening actuation element, for example a mechanical button, a mechanical switch, or a lever, the actuation of which causes an unlocking and / or locking of the fastening means, in particular an adjustment of one or more fastening elements of the fastening means into an unlocked position and / or a locked position. By providing the fastening actuation, a tool-free actuation of the fastening actuation can be transmitted to the fastening means. The location of the actuation can thus be selected more flexibly by positioning the fastening actuation and, for example, be positioned more ergonomically or easier for an operator's hand to reach.
[0026] A spring element, for example a spiral spring or a spring-elastic element, can be provided which spring-loads the fastening actuation, preferably exerting a force on the fastening actuation directed towards the locking position.
[0027] The fastening actuation can in particular comprise a fastening actuation lever which is mounted rotatably about an axis of the pistol grip, in particular of the pistol grip body, and which has an actuating surface for manual actuation on one lever side and a fastening element of the fastening means, for example a hook, on another lever side, or is connected to such a fastening element.
[0028] In one embodiment, the pistol grip has a manually operable torch trigger actuation which is designed to transmit an actuation of the torch trigger actuation, in particular to a torch trigger of a welding torch when the pistol grip is mounted on the welding torch.
[0029] Preferably, a torch trigger is provided on the welding torch and / or on the welding torch handle, and the torch trigger actuation is designed to transmit an actuation of the torch trigger actuation to the torch trigger when the pistol grip is attached to the welding torch and / or to the welding torch handle.
[0030] In this context, a torch trigger is understood to mean a trigger in the narrower sense, one that automatically returns to its original position after being released. A torch trigger is also understood to mean a trigger in the broader sense, for example, a latching trigger that remains in a latched position after being pressed and only returns to its original position after being pressed again, for example. In practice, such a torch trigger is also referred to as a torch switch, which is encompassed in the term torch trigger here.
[0031] The torch trigger actuation preferably comprises a mechanical torch trigger actuation element, for example a mechanical button, a mechanical switch, or a lever, the actuation of which causes the torch trigger on the welding torch and / or the welding torch grip when the pistol grip is attached to the welding torch and / or the welding torch grip. In this way, the welding torch can be operated with one hand on the pistol grip.
[0032] A spring element, for example a spiral spring or a spring-elastic element, can be provided which spring-loads the torch button actuation, preferably exerting a force on the torch button actuation directed towards the unactuated position.
[0033] The torch trigger actuation can in particular comprise a torch trigger actuation lever which is rotatably mounted about an axis of the pistol grip, in particular of the pistol grip body, and which has an actuation surface for manual actuation on one lever side and an actuator surface for actuating a torch trigger on the welding torch and / or on the welding torch handle shell on another lever side.
[0034] In one embodiment, the pistol grip has a manually operable torch trigger and transmission means for transmitting an actuation of the torch trigger, in particular an electrical signal, to the welding torch or the welding torch handle shell.
[0035] The transmission means can, in particular, be contact means electrically connected to the torch trigger for electrically contacting complementary contact means on the welding torch or on the welding torch handle. Accordingly, the pistol grip preferably has a manually operable torch trigger and contact means electrically connected to the torch trigger for electrically contacting complementary contact means on the welding torch or on the welding torch handle.
[0036] The torch trigger can be designed, for example, as a micro-button or micro-switch. The contacting means can be arranged, in particular, in the area of the mounting contour.
[0037] The welding torch or the welding torch handle preferably has corresponding receiving means for receiving the transmission from the transmission means. In particular, the welding torch or the welding torch handle of the system preferably has complementary contacting means arranged and configured to be contacted by the contacting means on the pistol grip. The complementary contacting means can be arranged, in particular, in the region of the mounting counter-contour.
[0038] With the contacting means or complementary contacting means, the actuation of the torch button on the pistol grip can be electrically transmitted to the welding torch or the welding torch handle shell, so that a welding process can be started or stopped, for example, by actuating the torch button on the pistol grip.
[0039] In addition to the receiving means or complementary contacting means, the welding torch or the welding torch handle may also have a torch trigger, which can be used, for example, when the pistol grip is not mounted on the welding torch or the welding torch handle. The complementary contacting means may, for example, be connected in parallel to a torch trigger on the welding torch or the welding torch handle.
[0040] The contacting means of the pistol grip and / or the complementary contacting means can be designed, for example, in the form of contact surfaces or contact pins, in particular spring-loaded contact pins.
[0041] The contacting means of the pistol grip and / or the complementary contacting means are preferably arranged such that they contact each other when the pistol grip is mounted on the welding torch or on the welding torch handle shell, for example when the pistol grip is pivoted from an intermediate mounting position to a final mounting position, so that actuation of the torch button on the pistol grip can be transmitted electrically.
[0042] In one embodiment, the fastening actuation and / or the torch trigger actuation are arranged relative to the gripping surface in such a way that the fastening actuation and / or the torch trigger actuation can be actuated with one hand, in particular with a hand that has grasped the pistol grip at the gripping surface.
[0043] In this way, the fastening actuation and / or the torch trigger actuation can be operated with one hand, especially when the hand is gripping the pistol grip at the grip surface, thus simplifying handling.
[0044] The torch trigger can be located, for example, in the area of a front part of the grip surface, in particular in a part intended for resting a finger, especially the index finger. This allows the welder to easily, safely, and ergonomically activate the torch trigger on the welding torch during welding.
[0045] The fastening mechanism can, for example, be located in the area of a rear partial surface of the grip surface. This prevents inadvertent actuation of the fastening mechanism with a finger, and thus inadvertent detachment of the pistol grip from the welding torch and / or the welding torch grip shell, since the fastening mechanism is located outside of a contact area intended for a finger of the hand, and the user must specifically move a finger toward the fastening mechanism to activate the fastening mechanism.
[0046] At the same time, the fastening mechanism is easily accessible, making it easier to assemble and / or disassemble the pistol grip.
[0047] If the pistol grip is designed as part of the welding torch or the welding torch grip shell, the torch trigger can be arranged on the pistol grip, in particular in such a way relative to the gripping surface that the torch trigger can be actuated with a hand that has grasped the pistol grip by the gripping surface. The torch trigger can be arranged, for example, in the region of a front partial surface of the gripping surface, in particular in a partial surface intended for resting a finger, in particular the index finger. In this way, the welder can easily, safely, and ergonomically activate the torch trigger on the welding torch during welding.
[0048] In one embodiment, the fastening means for tool-free attachment of the pistol grip comprises one or more form-locking elements for positively securing the pistol grip to a welding torch. The one or more form-locking elements can, for example, comprise one or more locking hooks. The welding torch and / or the welding torch grip shell preferably have corresponding form-locking elements, for example, corresponding undercut counter surfaces for one or more locking hooks.
[0049] In one embodiment, the fastening means comprise one or more first fastening elements for insertion into corresponding fastening elements of a welding torch in an intermediate assembly position, wherein the one or more first fastening elements are designed such that the pistol grip can be pivoted from the intermediate assembly position into a final assembly position. Furthermore, the fastening means comprise one or more second fastening elements which are designed to hold the pistol grip in the final assembly position on the welding torch. This enables easier assembly of the pistol grip. In particular, the pistol grip can thus first be pre-assembled with the one or more first fastening elements in the intermediate assembly position on the welding torch or on the welding torch handle shell and then fastened to the welding torch or on the welding torch handle shell by pivoting the pistol grip.
[0050] The one or more first fastening elements can, for example, comprise one or more axis elements which can be inserted into corresponding axis receptacles on the welding torch, in particular on the welding torch handle shell, so that the pistol grip can be pivoted about an axis defined by the one or more axis elements.
[0051] The one or more second fastening elements can, for example, comprise one or more locking elements, for example locking hooks, which, when pivoted into the final assembly position, lock with corresponding counter surfaces on the welding torch, in particular on the welding torch handle, so that the pistol grip is fixed to the welding torch or to the welding torch handle.
[0052] Further features and advantages of the pistol grip and the system will become apparent from the following description of embodiments, with reference to the attached drawing.
[0053] In the drawing show Fig. 1a-e an embodiment of the pistol grip and Fig. 2a-e an embodiment of the system with the pistol grip from Fig. 1a-e .
[0054] The Fig. 1a-e show an embodiment of the pistol grip in different views. Fig. 1a und Fig. 1b show the pistol grip 100 in perspective side views from diagonally above ( Fig. 1a ) and diagonally below ( Fig. 1b ). Fig. 1c shows a perspective partial view of the pistol grip 100 with the half shell 102 hidden. Fig. 1d shows the pistol grip 100 as in Fig. 1c , but with the magazine 160 removed and Fig. 1e shows the magazine 160.
[0055] The pistol grip 100 has a pistol grip body 104 formed from two plastic half-shells 102, 103 screwed together. The pistol grip body 104 has on an upper side a mounting contour 106 for mounting the pistol grip 100 on a welding torch, in particular a welding torch grip shell, for example on the welding torch 210 or the welding torch grip shell 212 made of Fig. 2a-e .
[0056] Below the mounting contour 106, the pistol grip body 104 has a gripping area 108 with a gripping surface 110 for grasping the pistol grip 100 with one hand. The gripping surface 110 has a rear partial surface 112 for positioning the palm and / or ball of a hand and a front partial surface 114 for positioning the fingers of the hand. Raised portions 116 and depressions 117 are provided on the front partial surface 114 to facilitate the correct positioning of the hand on the pistol grip 100.
[0057] The pistol grip 100 further comprises, in the area of the mounting contour 106, fastening means 120 for tool-free fastening of the pistol grip to a welding torch, for example, to the welding torch 210, in particular to a welding torch handle, for example, the welding torch handle 212. The fastening means 120 comprise first fastening elements 122 in the form of axle elements 124 and a second fastening element 126 in the form of a hook 128.
[0058] The pistol grip 100 further comprises a fastening actuation 130 in the form of a fastening actuation lever 134 pivotably mounted about an axis 132 on the pistol grip body 104. The fastening actuation lever 134 has an actuation surface 136 for manual actuation on one lever side and the hook 128 on the other lever side. Furthermore, a spring 138 mounted on the pistol grip body 104 is provided, which exerts a spring force on the fastening actuation lever 134 and thus on the hook 128 in the direction of the locking position of the hook 128. The actuation surface 136 is arranged in the region of the rear partial surface 112 of the grip surface 110. This allows easy access to the actuating surface 136 and at the same time prevents accidental actuation of the actuating surface 136 by fingers of a hand grasping the pistol grip 100, which, when properly positioned, rest in the area of the front partial surface 114.
[0059] The pistol grip 100 further includes a torch trigger actuation 140 in the form of a torch trigger actuation lever 144 pivotably mounted about an axis 142 on the pistol grip body 104. The torch trigger actuation lever 144 has an actuation surface 146 for manual actuation on one lever side and an actuator surface 148 for actuating a torch trigger on the welding torch or on the welding torch handle shell on the other lever side. Furthermore, a spring 150 mounted on the pistol grip body 104 is provided, which exerts a spring force on the torch trigger actuation lever 144 and thus on the actuator surface 148 in the direction of the unactuated position. The actuating surface 146 is arranged in the region of the front partial surface 114 of the gripping surface 110, specifically in an area of the partial surface 114 intended for the placement of the index finger of a hand. This enables easy operation of the welding torch by a hand grasping the pistol grip 100.
[0060] The pistol grip 100 further includes a magazine 160 that can be inserted through a magazine opening 162 into a magazine receptacle 164 arranged in the pistol grip body 104. The magazine 160 includes a magazine cover 166 that closes the magazine opening 162 when the magazine 160 is inserted into the magazine receptacle 164. Fig. 1e shows a perspective view of the magazine 160 (equipped with accessories). Complementary magazine fastening means 168 in the form of a hook 170 on the magazine cover 166 and a corresponding undercut 172 are provided on the magazine cover 166 and on the pistol grip body 104 (see Fig. 2b ) is provided on the pistol grip body 104 to secure the magazine in the magazine receptacle 164. The magazine fastening means 168 can be actuated without tools. For this purpose, a manually operable actuating surface 174 is provided on the magazine cover 166, with which the hook 170 and the undercut 172 can be disengaged in order to remove the magazine 160 from the magazine receptacle 164. The hook 170 and the actuating surface 174 are designed to be elastic such that a spring force acts on the hook 170 in the direction of a locked position of the hook 170.
[0061] The magazine 160 has a receptacle 175 and holding means 176 for accessories 250. In the present embodiment, the magazine 160 has a receptacle 175 for a torch wrench and holding means 176 in the form of several clamps for contact tips and / or nozzle holders.
[0062] In this way, the accessory 250 can be kept in the pistol grip 100 so that it is immediately available for adjusting and / or repairing the welding torch.
[0063] The Fig. 2a-e show an embodiment of the system 200 in various arrangements of the pistol grip 100 and the welding torch 210 relative to each other. Fig. 2a shows the welding torch 210 in perspective. In Fig. 2b Pistol grip 100 and welding torch 210 are shown separately from each other in a partial sectional view. Fig. 2c and Fig. 2d show further partial sectional views of the system 200, with the pistol grip 100 and the welding torch 210 in Fig. 2c in an intermediate assembly position and in Fig. 2d are connected to each other in a final assembly position. Fig. 2e shows a side view of the pistol grip 100 and the welding torch 210 in final assembly position.
[0064] The System 200 includes the pistol grip 100 made of Fig. 1a-e and a welding torch 210 comprising a welding torch handle 212, a torch attachment 214 on a front side 216 of the welding torch handle 212 and a hose package 218 on a rear side 220 of the welding torch handle 212.
[0065] The welding torch 210 has a torch trigger 222 located on the welding torch handle 212. By pressing or releasing the torch trigger 222, a contact can be closed or opened, for example, to start or stop a welding process. Depending on the configuration of the welding torch 210 or a welding device connected to the welding torch, other functions can also be controlled by pressing the torch trigger 222, for example, to set welding parameters.
[0066] The welding torch handle shell 212 has a mounting counter contour 224 corresponding to the mounting contour 106, so that the pistol grip 100 with the mounting contour 106 can be attached to the mounting counter contour 224 of the welding torch handle shell 212.
[0067] In the area of the mounting counter-contour 224, the welding torch handle shell 212 has first fastening counter-elements 226 corresponding to the first fastening elements, which in the present case are designed as axis receptacles into which the axis elements 124 of the pistol grip 100 can be inserted, so that the pistol grip 100 and the welding torch handle shell 212 are arranged in an intermediate mounting position relative to one another. Fig. 2c shows the pistol grip 100 and the welding torch 210 in the intermediate assembly position. In the intermediate assembly position, the pistol grip 100 can be pivoted relative to the welding torch 210 about the axis defined by the axis elements 124.
[0068] By pivoting the pistol grip 100 about the axis passing through the axis elements 124, the pistol grip 100 and welding torch 210 can be moved into the Fig. 2d and Fig. 2e The hook 128 can be brought into the final assembly position shown, in which the hook 128 engages behind the counter surface 228 provided on the welding torch handle 212, so that the pistol grip 100 is connected to the welding torch. To facilitate the engagement of the hook 128, the hook has an inclined sliding surface 129, which slides along the welding torch handle 212, elastically bending the hook 128 until the hook 128 engages.
[0069] The axis elements 124 and the hook 128 form form-locking elements 152 of the pistol grip 100 for its form-locking attachment to the welding torch 210.
[0070] This allows for simple, tool-free assembly of the pistol grip 100 on the welding torch 210.
[0071] In the final assembly position, the actuator surface 148 is arranged opposite the torch trigger 222, so that actuation of the torch trigger actuation lever 144 on the actuation surface 144 causes actuation of the torch trigger 222.
[0072] The disassembly of the pistol grip 100 can also be carried out without tools by the user actuating the fastening actuating lever 134 on the actuating surface 136, whereby the hook 128 and the counter surface 228 are disengaged and the pistol grip 100 is returned to the intermediate assembly position in Fig. 2b can be pivoted, from which the pistol grip 100 can be separated from the welding torch 210 by pulling the axis elements 124 out of the axis receptacles 226.
[0073] Instead of the torch trigger actuation 140, a torch trigger can also be provided on the pistol grip, which is electrically connected to contacting means, for example in the form of two contact pins in the area of the mounting contour. Complementary contacting means, for example in the form of two contact surfaces in the area of the counter-mounting contour, can then be arranged on the welding torch handle shell, which are contacted by the contacting means when the pistol grip 100 is in the assembly position.
[0074] With the System 200 in Fig. 2a-e The pistol grip 100 and the welding torch 210 are designed as separate parts that can be connected to each other as needed. It is also conceivable for the pistol grip 100 to be designed as a fixed part of the welding torch. In particular, the pistol grip body 104 can be formed integrally with the welding torch handle shell 212. In this case, the torch trigger 222 can be arranged directly on the pistol grip 100 instead of the torch trigger actuation 140. Likewise, the fastening means 120 can be omitted. Bezugszeichenliste:
