  • Pressure vessel valve housing
    Patent number: 4352370
    Abstract: One half of the valve housing is mounted on a strap which is tightened around a pressure vessel by a clamp screw. The other half of the housing is pivoted to the first so that it can be swung open to expose the valve. The other half can be locked to the strap to prevent opening and, when so locked, the clamp screw is blocked so that the strap cannot be loosened to slip off the pressure vessel.
