ABSTRACT:
A holder for a propane gas torch or the like and an item to be heated by the torch comprises a generally horseshoe-shaped base presenting first and second legs having first and second free ends in a normal contiguous relationship therebetween. The base is of a resilient material allowing for the free ends of the base to be spaced apart to place the item to be heated therebetween. Upon return of the free ends of the legs to the normal relationship the item is clamped by the base. A cradle assembly is mounted to the base in swingable and longitudinal movement relative thereto. Upon placement of the propane gas torch within the cradle, cradle movement is transferred to the propane gas torch. The cylinder further allows for a rotation of the torch about is own central longitudinal axis. The cradle enables the user to position the torch discharge head onto a desired portion of the item to be heated. In turn, the hands of the user are freed for other purposes.
