  • Patent number: 7077157
    Abstract: A spring-loaded pressure relief valve, particularly for containers of pressurized fluids, comprising a valve body that is associable with a container and forms a discharge port that is controlled by a main piston; an auxiliary valve is further provided, which controls a venting port and drives the intervention of the main piston, such main piston being accommodated in a cavity that is formed in the valve body and is open in an axial direction on the opposite side with respect to the venting port.

  • Patent number: 6079438
    Abstract: A valve device for controlling the filling level of cylinders and the like ith liquefied gases, comprising an upper connecting body which can be coupled to a cylinder for liquefied gas and forming a tubular gas infeed element which ends with a coupling body which is associable with a lower connecting body in order to retain a membrane for closing openings for feeding gas into the cylinder, and a valve control element which is controlled by a float and interacts with the membrane; the device further comprising clinching means for the mutual clamping of the upper connecting body and the lower connecting body.

  • Patent number: 5921272
    Abstract: A mechanical device for checking the level to which cylinders and the like are filled with liquid gases, comprising a feeder pipe anchored to the cutoff valve unit of the cylinder. At the lower end of the pipe there are provided openings which are connected to the inside of the cylinder and in a front region there is provided a closure membrane made of flexible material and centrally provided with at least one through hole. The membrane is peripherally locked between the rim of the end of the tubular element and a hollow body which is anchored coaxially to the feeder and is provided, in an upward region, with a cavity which allows the membrane to deform correspondingly in order to directly connect the free end of the tubular feeder body to the lateral openings thereof. The hollow body has a cavity which is coaxial to the hole of the membrane and leads into a chamber in which there is provided a shutter body movable axially by means of a cam which is associated with a floating device.
