Abstract:
A compressed gas cartridge is pierced and dispenses its pressurized gas through a permeation element that serves as a way to regulate the rate of gas dispensed out an outlet in the surrounding housing. It has been found that the use of a permeation element can control the rate of dispensation to an almost constant rate over time, which is valuable in applications such as art preservation for just one example.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a quick joint for connecting gas cylinder and pressure reducing valve for gas stove, and the quick joint includes a connecting ring having a through hole, and arc brackets extended from the periphery of the connecting ring and encircled into a ring shape, and each arc bracket includes a positioning groove for installing a spring clamp. When the quick joint is operated, a connecting ring is installed between the pressure reducing valve and the middle of a joint pipe of the pressure reducing valve, and the pressure reducing valve is sheathed onto the gas cylinder, and a spring clamp is used for loosening and binding the connecting ring for installing or removing a screw type pressure reducing valve and a push-button type gas cylinder, and thus providing a safe and quick use.
Abstract:
A stand for supporting a pressure vessel includes a body having an upper wall and a sidewall extending downwardly from the upper wall, an aperture defined in the upper wall configured to permit passage therethrough of a fluid conduit, the fluid conduit being in fluid communication with the pressure vessel, and a locking element provided in connection with the body configured to engage the fluid conduit when in a locked position to inhibit removal of the stand from the pressure vessel.
Abstract:
A gas cartridge loading mechanism has a sensor member movable toward a collar retaining portion and mounted to undergo pivotal movement between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a stopper configured to prevent movement of the sensor member when the sensor member is disposed in the locked position and to allow movement of the sensor member when the sensor member is disposed in the unlocked position. The sensor member is configured to move in the locked position when a gas cartridge is set with improper orientation, and to move in the unlocked position when the gas cartridge is set with proper orientation.
Abstract:
A tire inflation device includes a bottle having a valve on a top end of the bottle and a top part is mounted to the top end of the bottle. The top part has a frame having a U-shaped groove and the valve extends through top part and located in the frame. A block is movably engaged with the U-shaped groove and has a curved path defined therethrough. A first end and a second end of the curved path are respectively connected with a tube and the valve. An operation member is pivotably connected to the frame so that when pivoting the operation member, the press end of the operation member pushes the block to move along the U-shaped groove and the valve is pushed by the block so that the pressurized air is released via the path and the tube.
Abstract:
Device for supplying domiciliary and ambulatory oxygen, comprising an oxygen filling station and a portable oxygen reserve that can be selectively connected to the filling station, the filling station comprising an oxygen concentrator intended to isolate gaseous oxygen from the air, a liquefier connected to one outlet of the concentrator to receive the isolated gaseous oxygen so that it can be liquefied, a transfer connector connected to one outlet of the liquefier and intended to be connected to an inlet connector of the reserve, the reserve comprising a tank connected to the inlet connector so that liquid oxygen can be transferred from the filling station to the tank, a delivery system comprising members for tapping off, heating and regulating the flow of the oxygen from the tank so as to deliver gaseous oxygen to a patient.
Abstract:
A liquid fuel gas cartridge having a valve that prevents or reduces the unintended escape of pressurized fluid after the cartridge has been perforated.

Abstract:
A gas cylinder, such as a scuba tank, is formed with raised ribs that extend longitudinally from near the top of the cylinder to near the bottom of the cylinder. The longitudinal ribs may be arcuate and equally spaced along the outside circumference of the cylinder so as to protect the body of the cylinder from damage. The gas cylinder may be made from steel or an aluminum alloy, such that the longitudinal ribs are formed by backward impact extrusion. The gas cylinder may be configured with a cylindrical neck at the top of the body so as to house a valve and valve stem. The gas cylinder may be transported using a wheeled pedestal having an adjustable strap for securing the cylinder to the pedestal. A valve protector with an optional handle and retaining clip is provided.
