  • Patent number: 9695986
    Abstract: A valve for pressurized fluid, with or without incorporated pressure-reducing valve, comprising a body accommodating a fluid circuit having an upstream end designed to be placed in communication with a reserve of pressurized fluid and a downstream end designed to be placed in communication with a using device, the circuit comprising an isolation valve element in order to selectively close off the circuit, the valve element being controlled by a lever mounted so as to pivot on the body between a rest position in which the isolation valve element is held in a position of closing the circuit and an active position in which the lever moves the isolation valve element into a position of opening the circuit , wherein the lever comprises at least one opening, wherein the valve comprises a functional abutment mounted on the body and wherein only in the rest position the opening accommodates within it a portion of the functional abutment mounted on the body.

  • Patent number: 9518702
    Abstract: A valve for pressurized fluid, with or without incorporated pressure-reducing valve, comprising a body accommodating a fluid circuit having an upstream end and a downstream end, the circuit comprising an isolation valve element in order to selectively close off the circuit, the valve element being controlled by a lever mounted so as to pivot on the body between a rest position in which the isolation valve element is held in a position of closing the circuit and an active position in which the lever moves the isolation valve element into a position of opening the circuit, the lever provides protection for a functional member mounted on the body of the valve, there is no mechanical collision between the opening and the measuring member, and wherein no portion of the measuring member is within the volume of the lever.
