A valve plug 11 is placed in the liquid passage 5 and is axially displaceable, serving the purpose of closing the mouth. In the valve ring 7, a reinforcement ring 19 is inserted with an inside turning collar 21 having a number of incisions 23.

Abstract: A valve arrangement is so adapted that it can be used for a transportable container (1) for storing and distribution of a liquid under pressure from a propellant gas. The arrangement comprises a stub (2) secured in an opening upwardly in the container (1) and a double valve (12) with both a gas and a liquid passage (33, 35). The valve (12) substantially consists of a valve housing (3), which can be detachably mounted in the stub (2), as well as a riser pipe part (15), which is mounted co-axially with an upper reception area in the valve housing (3) and which can be displaced from an upper closed valve position to a lower open valve position against the pressure of a spring (10). The riser pipe part (15) can moreover be displaced additionally a distance downwardly from the lower open valve position to a lower bottom position.
