Patent number: 11408513Abstract: The invention relates to a shut-off valve for controlling flow of a pressurised gas. The shut-off valve comprises a body defining a passage extending between a gas inlet channel and a gas outlet channel, and a sealing element arranged to, in a first position, close the passage, and in a second position, open the passage to allow gas to flow between the gas inlet channel and the gas outlet channel through the passage. The invention also relates to a method for controlling flow of a pressurised gas by means of a shut-off valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: GCE Holding, ABInventors: Gareth Pemberton, Petr Jehlicka, Karel Zmek

Patent number: 11384905Abstract: The invention relates to a protective valve ring (1) for an oxygen gas cylinder (3). The protective valve ring (1) comprises a body (4) adapted to enclose an outlet (5) of a cylinder valve (2). The body (2) comprises an incombustible and heat absorbing material, and has an internal shaping adapted to guide any potential oxygen gas leak away from inflammable parts of the gas cylinder (3). The invention also relates to a shut-off valve (2) for controlling flow of a pressurised gas and a method for attaching a protective valve ring (1) to a shut-off valve (2) of an oxygen gas cylinder (3).Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: GCE HOLDING ABInventors: Karel Zmek, Zdenek Firych, Petr Jehlicka, Gareth Pemberton

Patent number: 11255461Abstract: The invention relates to shut-off valve for controlling flow of a pressurised gas. The shut-off valve comprising a body defining a passage extending between a gas inlet channel and a gas outlet channel, a sealing element, and an emergency stop mechanism. The sealing element arranged to, in a first position, close the passage, and in a second position, open the passage to allow gas to flow between the gas inlet channel and the gas outlet channel through the passage. The invention also relates to a method for controlling flow of a pressurised gas with a shut-off valve and a method for activating an emergency stop of a shut-off valve.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: GCE HOLDING ABInventors: Petr Jehlicka, Karel Zmek, Gareth Pemberton

Patent number: 9435452Abstract: A shut-off valve for controlling flow of a pressurized gas including a restrictor, which at its second axial end extends in a radial direction of a passage to essentially cover a mouth of the passage. Further the restrictor includes a longitudinally extending guiding member for guiding a gas flow between a gas inlet and a gas outlet when a sealing member is in a second position. The guiding member is arranged to allow gas to leave the passage in a radial direction of the restrictor.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: GCE Holding ABInventor: Petr Jehlicka

Patent number: 9223320Abstract: A pressure regulator includes a body having a gas inlet for a gas having an inlet pressure and a gas outlet for the gas having an outlet pressure lower than the inlet pressure and a passage connecting the outlet to the inlet. A regulator piston is arranged to control the outlet pressure of the gas by moving closer to and further away from a pressure regulator seat, and a regulating elastic element is arranged to bias the regulating piston in a direction away from the pressure regulator seat, against the force of gas at outlet pressure acting on the regulator piston in a direction towards the pressure regulator seat. The passage is fluidly connected to a floating piston, arranged to move in response to increased inlet pressure by compressing a stabilizing elastic element. The stabilizing elastic element is connected to the regulating elastic element via a connection element.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: GCE HOLDING ABInventor: Petr Jehlicka
