  • Non-refillable valve for a gas cylinder
    Patent number: 6595230
    Abstract: A non-refillable valve in a compressed gas cylinder to prevent the refilling of the cylinder after depletion of compressed gas initially in the cylinder. The non-refillable valve comprises a valve housing defining a valve chamber, with the valve chamber having a proximal end and a distal end. A valve core including a valve pin is coupled to the valve housing in the valve chamber. A detent formed in the valve housing extends into the valve chamber. A check ball is positioned in the valve chamber with the check ball movable from a first position past the detent to a second position, wherein the check ball is disposed against the ball seat at the distal end of the valve chamber forming a seal that prevents refilling of the cylinder.
