Abstract:
A tank jacket fits over the outside of a storage tank. The jacket includes a hole for receiving the regulator assembly. The tank jacket supports a hose support assembly for storing the supply hose and a plurality of pockets for retaining various accessories and tools. A gauge protector fits over the regulator assembly and includes a first housing section defining a first cavity for receiving the regulator and a second housing section defining a second cavity for receiving the pressure gauge. A handle is formed on the gauge protector to facilitate carrying of the tank. The gauge protector and tank jacket protect the tank and regulator assembly and provide a system for transporting the tank and related equipment.
Abstract:
Since the system for supplying gas comprises a storage container, a compressor which pressurizes fluorine gas in the storage container, and a pressurized storing container which presses fit and stores the fluorine gas, by supplying fluorine gas or the like to the destination from this system for supplying gas, it is not necessary to change gas source such as a gas cylinder or the like. In this way, fluorine gas or the like can be supplied to the destination inexpensively and safely.
Abstract:
A tank apparatus for use with transporting cylindrical shaped containers comprising a main body sheet like material configured to attach to at least a portion of a tank's outer diameter and a pair of stops incorporated with the main body to prevent movement of the tank or container like object. Many features and variations of the apparatus are disclosed to provide added convenience and adapt to various fields of interest.
Abstract:
The present embodiments provide apparatus and methods for use in releasing gas from a compressed gas source. Some embodiments provide apparatuses for use in releasing compressed gas from a source that include a source of compressed gas, a puncture pin, a driving mechanism positioned relative to the source of compressed gas, and a trigger mechanism. Upon activation of the trigger mechanism the driving mechanism drives the compressed gas onto the puncture pin releasing the compressed gas from the source. In other embodiments, upon activation of the trigger mechanism the driving mechanism drives the puncture pin into the compressed gas releasing the compressed gas from the source.
Abstract:
An integral fuel cartridge and filter apparatus includes a fuel cartridge, a filter housing coupled to the fuel cartridge, and a filter coupled to the filter housing.
Abstract:
A dry cryogenic shipping container having a removable absorbent assembly is provided. The dry cryogenic shipping container is structured to be a Dewar's flask having a first, outer shell assembly, and second, inner shell assembly disposed within and spaced from the first, outer shell assembly, and a cap. Within the shipping container is an absorbent assembly having a body with a central cavity. The absorbent assembly body is formed by a plurality of removable absorbent assembly elements. That is the absorbent assembly elements are sized to pass through the passage into the space within the shipping container. As such, after use, the absorbent assembly body elements may be removed and the remaining components may be sterilized. After sterilization, new absorbent assembly body elements are inserted into the inner space and the dry cryogenic shipping container is used again.
Abstract:
The adapter is designed to receive an outlet end (23) of the cartridge (20) and an inlet end (32) of the induction device (30), as well as a seal (11) between the two ends (23, 32). The seal (11) includes an annular transverse portion (53) intended to be interposed between the two ends (23, 32) and the material of the seal (11) is selected from the group consisting of compressible and flexible materials.
Abstract:
In the method for filling a pressure vessel (1), in particular a pressure vessel in airbag systems, with a gas or gas mixture, one or more cryogenically solidified gases and optionally a cryogenically liquefied gas are introduced into a pressure vessel (1).
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention comprises an apparatus or system for withdrawing a cryogenic liquid from a container wherein the liquid may be drawn from the container independent of the orientation of the container. The apparatus comprises a conduit having a flexible metallic hose portion and a metallic head. The flexible hose portion has a first end in fluid communication with an outlet portal of the container and a second end to which the head is attached.
Abstract:
A gas-tank holder for securing at least one element such as a cylindrical compressed gas tank to a support surface includes a frame securable to the support surface by suction cups, and at least one bracket slidably mounted in the frame. The bracket includes first and second bracket parts arranged to form together a receiving pocket. The bracket parts are movable toward and away from one another in order to adjust the size of the pocket. A locking mechanism for coupling the first and second arms together in their adjusted position is releasable while those arms are mounted in the frame. The suction cups are independently swingable relative to the frame to enable the suction cups to engage respective support surface sections that are non-co-planar.
