Abstract
A pressurized fluid container having a pressure indicator device, the device having-a piston sensitive to the prevailing pressure in the pressurized fluid container, the piston moving, depending on the value of the pressure in the pressurized fluid container, between at least a retracted position and a deployed position; an indicator component configured to cooperate with the piston, the indicator component moving, depending on the position of the piston, between at least a first position representing a first pressure value and a second position representing a second pressure value.
Claims11
A pressurized fluid container comprising a pressure indicator device, the device comprising:
- a piston sensitive to the prevailing pressure in the pressurized fluid container, the piston moving, depending on the value of the pressure in the pressurized fluid container, between at least a retracted position and a deployed position;
- an indicator component configured to cooperate with the piston, the indicator component moving, depending on the position of the piston, between at least a first position representing a first pressure value and a second position representing a second pressure value;
- further comprising:
- a sensor for the position of the indicator component;
- at least one electrical circuit connected to or integrated in said sensor and configured to assume at least a first electrical state or a second electrical state depending on the position of the indicator component;
- an electronic logic connected to the electrical circuit and configured to produce an electrical signal representing the position of the indicator component;
- and
- a communication component connected to the electronic logic configured to convert said electrical signal into a wireless remote communication signal representing the position of the indicator component.
