Abstract (en)

The device comprises a body (1, 2) with first and second apertures (3, 4) which can communicate with each other through a chamber (8, 9) defined in the body and are intended for connection to a vacuum source and an accumulator or other vacuum-using device, respectively. The body also has a third aperture (19) through which the chamber (8, 9) communicates with the atmosphere. An on-off valve (11, 13) is formed in the chamber (8, 9) for interrupting the communication between the first and second apertures (3, 4). This valve (11, 13) comprises a seat (11) and a movable obturator (13) controlled by an operating piston (10) which is slidable in the chamber (8, 9) and sealingly separates the first and second apertures (3, 4) from the third aperture (19). The piston (10) is adapted to close the valve (11, 13) against the action of resilient biassing means (18) which tend to open the valve (11, 13) when the vacuum applied to the second aperture (4) of the body exceeds a predetermined value.
