July 8, 1952 A. E. OLSON NECK YOKE Filed July 3, 1950 IN VENTbR ALV/N EDMUND OLSON jaw/M Patented July 8, 1952 NECK YOKE Alvin Edmund Olson, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada Application July 3, 1950, Serial No. 171,948
1 Claim.
My invention relates to improvements inneck yokes for supporting air or gas hose such as is used on percussion tools, spray guns, welding torches and the like, and also for flexible electric cables such as those used in electric welding or when using electrically operated power tools such as belt sanders, skill saws, polishing tools and the like.
The principal object of the invention is to provide means whereby the hose or cord carried by the worker will remain in fixed position about the workers shoulders and neck and leave his arms perfectly free to carry on his work. A further object is to provide that any desired length of cord or hose may swing freely between the body of the user and the work to be done, so that there shall be no restriction of use of the tool.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the yoke.
Figure 2 isa cross sectional view showing the neck band.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view showing one of the clips secured adjacent the free ends of the yoke.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a person using the device.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
The numeral I indicates a length of rod or tube which is bent to form an inverted U-shaped member 2 having a base 3 and legs 4 The legs are bent adjacent the base so that the member may rest comfortably around the shoulders and neck of the user. The material used is preferably such that its curvature may be altered to suit the individual owner or user. A channel strip 6 which will preferably be somewhat in excess of 180 degrees in cross sectional circumference, is secured to and extends around the base 3 of the U-shaped member and is so disposed as to have its open side I facing rearwardly, as shown in Figure 1. This channel strip is desirably of a convenient size to receive the hose of an acetylene torch or other tool.
Mounted on each leg 4 is one or more clips 9 which may be disposed adjacent the mid-length of each leg or adjacent to its free end. Eachclip is desirably made of spring material and 01' a size to conveniently receive and lightly grip the hose or cord to be carried thereby.
The device as shown in Figure 4 is supporting a compressed air hose ll leading to a paint spray l2, which hose is allowed to produce a bight l4 dropping slightly below the users elbow. It will be noticed that the weight of the hose carried by the users right hand is only half that of the bight I4 of said hose and that this weight is not increased irrespective of the position in which he has to support the paint spray.
It will further be realized that while the hose is not intended to be tightly gripped in the chan- REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
