Abstract
A combination gas cylinder striker and wrench device for use with a gas cylinder having a cylinder valve with a valve stem. The combination is made of a pair of wire frame members that are manipulatable to strike a spark for igniting a flammable gas form a gas cylinder. A gas cylinder wrench is affixed to one of the wire frame members. The gas cylinder wrench has a raised boss having an opening therethrough that is sized to interfit with the valve stem of the gas cylinder. The raised boss stabilizes the affixation of the wrench to the wire frame member by being force fitted into a U-shaped area of the wire frame member.
Claims16
A combination device for operation of a gas cylinder having a valve stem, said combination device comprising a striker having wire frame members, said wire frame members being manipulatable so as to create a spark upon relative movement between said wire members, a cylinder wrench affixed to one of said wire frame members, said cylinder wrench having a raised boss having an opening formed therein adapted to interfit with the valve stem to operate said gas cylinder.
A cylinder wrench adapted to be affixed to a wire frame member of a striker, said wrench comprising a raised boss area having an opening therethrough, said wrench having arms extending outwardly in opposite directions ending in free ends, and said arms having wings extending outwardly at or near the free ends thereof, said wings being comprised of a material that is readily bendable so as to encircle a wire frame member of a striker to affix the wrench to the wire frame member.
A method of constructing a combination device for use in operating a valve stem of a gas cylinder, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a striker for producing a spark having a pair of wire frame members,
- providing a cylinder wrench for interfitting to the valve stem for operating the gas cylinder,
- affixing the cylinder wrench to one of the pair of wire frame members.
