  • Patent number: 9328867
    Abstract: Filling connector comprising a body (2) defining an internal filling circuit (6) between an upstream end (3) and a downstream end (4), with the connector comprising an isolation valve element (7) mobile relatively to a seat (8) between an upstream position in which the circuit is closed and a downstream position in which the circuit is open, with the connector (1) further comprising a dust valve element (10, 100) positioned upstream of the isolation valve element (7), characterised in that the dust valve element (10, 100) can be moved selectively towards downstream either: a) in a first set downstream position referred to as “without contact” which opens the upstream end (3) of the circuit (6), or in b) a second set downstream position referred to as “contact” which opens the upstream end (3) of the circuit (6).

  • Patent number: 9278844
    Abstract: A method for withdrawing a pressurized gas from a receptacle comprising a tap, the tap comprising a filler/withdrawal coupling for a pressurized gas receptacle designed to interact with a packaging connector in order to allow said receptacle to be filled with pressurized gas or for withdrawal of pressurized gas from the receptacle, the method comprising a) a first step of moving a dust-prevention valve downstream in order to open the upstream end of the circuit via a mechanical actuation and/or a fluidic actuation carried out by the packaging connector and b) a second step of moving an isolation valve to a downstream opening position via a mechanical actuation carried out by the dust-prevention valve and/or via a fluidic actuation carried out by the gas delivered by the packaging connector.

  • Patent number: 9193578
    Abstract: A filler-withdrawal coupling for a pressurized gas receptacle comprising a body defining an internal filler circuit between an upstream end designed to be connected to a packaging connector and a downstream end designed to be connected to a receptacle, the coupling comprising an isolation valve that can move relative to a seat between an upstream position for closing the circuit and a downstream position for opening the circuit, said isolation valve being moved to its upstream position by a return member, the coupling also comprising a dust-prevention valve placed upstream of the isolation valve, said dust-prevention valve being able to move relative to the body between an upstream position for closing the upstream end of the circuit and a downstream position for opening the circuit upstream end, said dust-prevention valve being moved to its upstream position by a return member.

  • Publication number: 20130105037
    Abstract: Filling outlet comprising at least one claw (2) extending in a longitudinal direction about a longitudinal axis (A), the central space situated between the claw or claws (2) and the longitudinal axis (A) forming a housing intended to accommodate a filling connector (1) of cylindrical overall shape, characterized in that the internal face of the at least one claw (2) situated facing the central space is of flat overall shape and has reliefs (12) and/or recesses (22) of set dimensions, the reliefs (12) and/or recesses being spaced relative to one another in a set fashion so that they fit into mating grooves (11) and/or reliefs (21) formed on the exterior face of a filling connector (1), the at least one claw (2) being able to move transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (A) between a position called the “open” position to allow a connector (1) to be introduced into the central space, and a position called the “closed” position to allow the internal face of the claws (2) to engage on the exterior face
