Gas cylinder support system for a welding-type device

摘要

A tray system is designed to be affixed in a stationary position to a housing of a welding-type system to support a gas cylinder for use with the welding-type system. The tray includes a base extending from the housing to form an interior and a periphery. As such, the interior forms a platform configured to support the gas cylinder proximate to the housing. The tray also includes a wall extending up from the base along at least a portion of the periphery of the base to form a barrier along the portion of the periphery that restricts the gas cylinder from being removed from the base. A lifting tab is included that extends up from the base proximate to the wall to form a pivot axis for the gas cylinder against which the gas cylinder may be tilted and rotated to raise the gas cylinder onto the wall and remove the gas cylinder from the tray without manual lifting.

主权项

1. A welding-type system comprising:
a welding-type device having a housing extending from a device base to a top; a power source arranged within the housing and configured to deliver welding-type power to perform a welding-type process; a tray extending from the housing proximate to the device base to support a gas cylinder providing gas for the welding-type process, the tray comprising:
a tray base extending from a front periphery arranged proximate to the device base of the housing to a rear periphery to form an interior and side peripheries therebetween;a wall extending up from at least a portion of the rear periphery of the tray base; anda lifting tab extending up from the tray base within the interior and proximate to the wall to form a pivot axis against which to tilt the gas cylinder to raise the gas cylinder onto the wall and remove the gas cylinder from the tray base.
