  • Patent number: 8777183
    Abstract: A device for connecting gas equipment to a valve of a gas cartridge, having a tap body fixed to the gas equipment, an axial coupling ring fixed to the body of the tap and having at least one elastic lug which can engage radially in a groove of a valve of the cartridge, a rotary locking ring which can occupy a locking position in which the rotary ring keeps each lug engaged in the groove and a release position in which the rotary ring allows each elastic lug to be disengaged from the groove, and a cylinder having a tube which can override the shut-off device of the valve, wherein the rotary locking ring has radial coupling means which can interact with complementary radial coupling means provided on the gas cartridge valve, so that the device can be moved from a locking position to a release position by the rotation of the cartridge.

  • Publication number: 20090212058
    Abstract: A cartridge for pressurized fluid. The cartridge includes a body having a cylindrical portion and a bottom having a concavity oriented toward the inside of the body. The connection between the bottom and the body is made by an annular seam. The particular structure of the connection zone provides a reduction in the diameter of the body for connection to a bottom of lesser diameter without creating zones of concentration of stresses. Another arrangement of the cartridge provides for the bottom to have a cylindrical portion that bears against the cylindrical end portion of the body, which makes it possible to create a rigid zone.

  • Patent number: 6202982
    Abstract: Members for pushing the tabs of an annular part include radial studs forming cams, there being as many of these as there are catching tabs, the cams having the same distribution as the tabs into the gaps between which they are inserted in the unlocked position, each tab being equipped with a cylindrical or cam-shaped internal bearing surface capable of bearing on one of the studs in order, by reaction, to push its external catching tooth radially outward, the annular part being connected to a turning member which has a restricted angular travel between two positions, namely an unlocked and identified rotational position of the annular part, in which position the tabs are free to flex, and a locked rotational position of the annular part, in which position the tabs are locked and pushed back by their respective studs, and locked under the rolled rim.

  • Patent number: 5251609
    Abstract: A heating apparatus has a catalytic burner and a thermal receiver which consumes at least one portion of the heat generated by the catalytic burner. The catalytic burner has a member for ejecting a flow of combustible gas, a member for admixing primary air with the flow of combustible gas to obtain a mixture to be burnt, a chamber for distributing the mixture, and a catalytic combustion structure in communication with the distribution chamber. The combustible gas travels into an upstream face of the catalytic combustion structure, and combustion exhaust gases are removed through a downstream face of the catalytic combustion structure. A radiating flameless combustion front is located in the vicinity of the upstream face of the catalytic combustion structure during operation. A thermal receiver extends along virtually the entire surface of the upstream face of the catalytic structure and receives thermal energy.

  • Patent number: 5178530
    Abstract: A heating device with a catalytic burner for a fuel gas is equipped with a member for regulating the thermal power. The regulating member includes a metal flap for regulating the flow of the mixture to be burned in the catalytic burner. This flap, for example a heat-sensitive bimetallic strip, can move between two positions, namely a first position in which the mixture to be burned is stored in the device or discharged in the manner of a leakage through an orifice in a wall of the heating device, and a second position which allows a maximum flow rate of the mixture to pass through the catalytic burner. The invention applies to all types of heating devices with a catalytic burner.

  • Patent number: 5009592
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hot air-generating device, combining a catalytic gas burner and a fan. According to the invention, on the one hand, the catalytic burner is of the induced-air type, for which means for mixing primary air in with the pressurized fuel gas are arranged upstream of the burner and, on the other hand, these same means comprise a component for drawing off oxidant air, independently of the circulation conduit which draws off primary air outside the latter. The invention can be applied to any kind of hot air-generating device, such as a hair drier and a hot-air gun for stripping paint.
