(54) | Valve for fuel gas cylinders |
(57) A valve comprising a spring-loaded, ball-shaped valve body (28) is provided for closing
a gas container. The valve includes a gas inlet canal (31) which has a relatively
wide diameter and which after filling the container will be closed tightly by means
of a capsula (30). The capsula (30) comprises an elastic sealing part having a pipe
connection (29) which penetrates into the gas inlet canal (31). The pipe connection
(29) reduces the diameter of the gas inlet canal (31) and forms the valve seat for
the valve body (28). In operation, a pressure reduction valve is seated on this valve.
The pressure reduction valve includes a connection cannula piercing through the capsula
(30) and removing the valve body (28) from its seat. |
