Abstract: A fluid pressure actuator which locks in the extended position. The lock is a roller operated, dual segment pawl mechanism that unlocks in response to a pressure difference between extend and retract pressures. The two lock segments, chamfered for engagement with the cylinder end, are in diametrically opposed slots in the actuator piston head. A cylindrical section projects from the segment portion. An end view of the lock is mushroom shaped. Two rollers, held in alignment normal to the actuator centerline by a cage integral with an unlock rod, operate in conjunction with the lock cam surfaces in such a manner as to carry the radial loading imposed when in the lock mode.The rolling action of the rollers, combined with the radial application of locking force provides low friction operation of the lock.

Abstract: A vessel includes a body having a chamber normally containing pressurized gas and enclosed by a removable closure provided with a gas charging valve. Inadvertent disassembly of the closure when the chamber contains pressurized gas is precluded by a planar cover plate captively retained by the charging valve and normally masking tool-receiving members on the closure. Removal of the valve/cover plate unit initially releases a resilient seal carried by the inner face of the valve juxtaposed the outer face of the closure and subsequently progressively exposes to the atmosphere a gas bleeding passage formed in the attachment stem of the valve to gradually release all pressurized gas from the vessel chamber. The closure is only accessible for disassembly following complete removal of the unitary valve and cover plate after which all gas under pressure in the chamber has been relieved.
