Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rechargeable intelligent safety torch especially designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, and therefore particularly suited to fire-fighting services and mining.
- the torch is conceived for individual use, with its main characteristic being its versatility for conventional manual use or as an illumination device mounted on a helmet.
- Torches are a basic tool for fire fighters and personnel which carry out their work in similar situations, such as miners. Because of the extreme conditions in which this work is performed these torches must have special safety characteristics, as well as a professional standard of technical performance.
- this tool must be operated with great ease, particularly when considering that fire fighters work while wearing special gloves, and above all must be comfortable and facilitate manual labour as much as possible.
- the rechargeable intelligent safety torch allows the above function by being provided with means which, in combination with other means present in the helmet, allow it to be easily coupled to the latter.
- the safety characteristic of the torch is determined by its having two independent light sources, which guarantees illumination in the event that one of these fails.
- activation of the torch is made simple by its being provided with a large, sensitive contact-activated button, which makes this operation simple even while wearing protection gloves.
- the battery recharging process is controlled by programmable electronic means which ensure that recharging is carried out in a satisfactory manner, as well as providing detailed information on the charge status each time the torch is turned on. In the event that the charge is at a critical level, a low level warning signal is given.
- main lamp (2) is at the focus of the parabolic reflector, which projects a concentrated and deep beam of light.
- auxiliary lamp (3) which is powered and operated independently from the main one, and which projects a beam of light directed at the ground which allows the user to see the ground which is being stepped on.
- buttons (4) which requires only a slight touch to be activated and which shows a large surface, thus simplifying its use.
- This electronic circuit also controls the battery charging process, informs on their discharge and status, and performs automatic functions which the invention may include.
- the functions which the torch performs can be classified as:
- FIG 3 shows flange (11) and clip (6), which consists of a flexible plate and is set so that it may swivel on hinge (15) on the rear of the torch.
- This hinge (15) is provided with elastic devices which make clip (6) press against the body of the torch by default, acting as a clip which can be opened manually by its projection (16).
- Clip (6) can also be used to attach the torch to the user's belt.
- fork (7) represented in figure 4, which consists of a bent metal part, preferably made from aluminium bronze, so that it is provided with an elasticity which makes it suitable to be used as a fork, and so that it is adapted to the surface of helmet (13).
- fork (7) on helmet (13) can be seen in figure 5 and is achieved by means of screwing through orifices (9) on a decorative element of the helmet, so that the latter is not perforated, as otherwise it would lose its quality certification.
- the torch is set on the top of the helmet when so required by the user, forming a self-sufficient light source which is joined to the helmet and which frees the hands so that any task may be carried out more easily.
- illumination cone (14) can be attached to base (1) of the torch so that light signals can be made.
