Abstract (en)
This invention relates to a vapour canister (100, 500) that has a volume compensator (10, 200, 300, 400) adapted with compression holding means (22, 50, 70, 72, 80, 90) to retain the volume compensator (10, 200, 300, 400) in a compressed or locked position, such that it can be sandwiched between two adsorbent chambers (112, 114) during assembly of the vapour canister (100, 500), and is operatively released or unlocked by release means, when required. Sandwiching the volume compensator (10, 200, 300, 400) between the chambers (112, 114) allows for a substantially even distribution of force to be applied thereto.
