Abstract: The invention relates to a gas filling and distribution head (2) which is intended to be disposed in a hole in a pressurized gas storage tank. The inventive head (2) includes a mounting segment (21) which is intended to be housed in the hole in the tank and an expansion segment which houses a pre-expansion device (22), said pre-expansion device (22) being arranged in relation to the mounting segment (21) such as to be housed at least partially inside the tank when the head is in the mounted position. The head (2) also includes: a filling circuit which extends between a first end which is equipped with a filling hole (6) and a second end which is intended to communicate with the interior of the tank, and an extraction circuit which extends between a first end which is intended to communicate with the interior of the tank and a second end which is equipped with an extraction hole. The invention is characterized in that the filling hole (6) is aligned with the extraction hole.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly including a pressurized gas storage tank and a control device for filling the tank with gas and/or extracting gas therefrom. The aforementioned tank includes: a hole which communicates with the interior of the tank, a filling and distribution head which is disposed at the hole and which includes a pre-expansion device which is at least partially integrated inside the volume of the tank, and a connection interface which is removably engaged with the gas supply and/or extraction control device such as to co-operate therewith. The invention is characterized in that the head includes an isolation member, such as a valve, which is housed at least partially inside the volume of the head and which can be accessed by an opening member that is external to the head through an access hole that is provided in the head.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the filling and/or extraction of a fluid, for example, in relation to a pressurized fluid tank including a body having a connection end (516) which is equipped with engagement means that are intended to co-operate with complementary engagement means which are provided, for example, on a connection interface of a tank, a member (17) for opening a valve that can move in relation to the body, actuation means (250) which can move the opening member (17) selectively and which can move between a running position and a stopped position corresponding respectively to an operating position and a rest position of the opening member (17) and a hole (105) which can receive a removable outlet or inlet coupling (75) for the distribution of the fluid.

Abstract: Device for filling and distributing gas comprising a body intended to be placed in the orifice of a pressurized-gas storage reservoir, a gas withdrawing circuit running between an upstream first end intended to be connected to the inside of the reservoir and a downstream second end intended to be connected to a user of the gas, the withdrawing circuit comprising a pressure regulator, a low-pressure chamber and an isolation valve positioned in series in that order from upstream to downstream, the low-pressure chamber being connected to a passage for discharging the gas to the outside of the device via a safety relief valve sensitive to the pressure in the low-pressure chamber and designed to close off the discharge passage when the pressure in the low-pressure chamber is below a first threshold, to open the discharge passage when the pressure in the chamber is higher than the first pressure threshold and below a second pressure threshold, and to close the discharge passage when the pressure in the chamber is h

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas filling and distribution head which is intended to be disposed in a hole in a pressurised gas storage tank. The inventive head includes a mounting segment which is intended to be housed in the hole in the tank and an expansion segment which houses a pre-expansion device, said pre-expansion device being arranged in relation to the mounting segment such as to be housed at least partially inside the tank when the head is in the mounted position. The invention is characterised in that it includes a connection interface that is intended to co-operate removably with a control device for filling the tank with gas and/or extracting gas from same.

Abstract: A safety-belt arrangement for a motor vehicle has a safety-belt (74) with an end fixing (73) in the form of a plate having an aperture (75). The end fixing may be inserted into a slot (72) formed in a rotatably mounted spool (55). A spring-biased catch (76) is provided which engages the aperture (75) to retain the end fixing in position. When the end fixing is in position a spring catch (70) is released permitting the spool (55) to rotate under the influence of a spring bias. If a severe force is applied to the belt (74), part of the belt is withdrawn from the spool under a force limiting effect. The spool may additionally be associated with a pre-tensioner.
