(54) | High pressure gas cartridge |
(57) A high pressure gas cartridge with a double safety device, comprises a sealing plate
(2) with a safety mechanism (21) and a gas regulator (3) which is provided at a nearer
portion than the sealing plate (2) in the passage (11) forthe gas. Gas is charged
in the body (1) speedily through a clearance (32) between the sealing plate (2) or
the gas regulator (3) and the body (1). The safety mechanism (21) acts when the inner
pressure rises excessively and checks the cartridge from rupturing or moving by letting
the gas escape gradually. The gas regulator (3) regulates the gas flow to an amount
which is enough for actuating a device or devices using the gas but which does not
make the cartridge move or fly by reaction when the sealing plate (2) has broken and
the gas becomes free for flowing out. |
