Abstract
Abstract A device for the orbital welding of butt joints of pipes. The device comprises a body adapted for being removably secured on one of the pipes being welded. Guides are provided which extend in longitudinal direction in the body. The pipe is arranged along the guides. A slide block is mounted on the guides so that displacement of the slide block along the pipe axis can be effected. A drive is mounted on the stationary body and is adapted to displace the slide block on the guides. Circular guides are provided on the slide block and are arranged transversely with respect to the guides. A faceplate is mounted in the circular guides and supports a torch which orbits around the pipes at the butt joint thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A device for orbital welding of butt joints of pipes, comprising: a body adapted for being immovably secured on one of the pipes being welded; guides extending in a longitudinal direction in said body, along which guides said pipe is arranged; a slide block mounted on said guides of said body so that displacement of the slide block along the pipe axis can be effected; a drive mounted on said stationary body and adapted to displace said slide block on said guides; circular guides on said slide block, arranged transversely with respect to said guides; a faceplate mounted in said circular guides and adapted for being positively displaced in the latter and a torch mounted in said faceplate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
118 words
A device for orbital welding of butt joints of pipes, comprising: a body adapted for being immovably secured on one of the pipes being welded; guides extending in a longitudinal direction in said body, along which guides said pipe is arranged; a slide block mounted on said guides of said body so that displacement of the slide block along the pipe axis can be effected; a drive mounted on said stationary body and adapted to displace said slide block on said guides; circular guides on said slide block, arranged transversely with respect to said guides; a faceplate mounted in said circular guides and adapted for being positively displaced in the latter and a torch mounted in said faceplate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the drive for displacing the slide block on said guides includes a screw pair including one member arranged on the slide block, and another member movably mounted on said body, said device further including a drive shaft, a handle and toothed gearing connecting said other member to said drive shaft, the drive shaft being arranged at an angle to the screw pair, said handle being connected to said shaft for rotating the latter manually.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
97 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, comprising a screw pair including axially movable and immovable members and wherein said drive for displacing the slide block on said longitudinal guides includes a lever pivotally secured on the body, said lever including one arm which cooperates with said slide block and another arm cooperating with the axially movable member of a screw pair, said device further including a drive shaft and a handle, the axially immovable member of said screw pair being secured to said drive shaft, said shaft being connected to said handle for being rotated manually.
