Abstract
A device for supplying pressurised fluid, including a vessel, a pressure reducing valve including a first end connected to the vessel and a second free end configured to be connected to a connector, a protective cover including a cap extending around the free end of the pressure reducing valve, an annular portion extending around a body of a pressure reducing valve and a strut connecting the cap to the annular portion, a shrink foil extending at least around part of the cap and the connecting strut so as to press the cap and the connecting strut against the pressure reducing valve.
Claims18
A device for supplying pressurised fluid, comprising:
- a vessel,
- a valve comprising a first end connected to the vessel and a second end configured to be connected to a connector,
- a protective cover comprising a cap extending around the second end of the valve, an annular portion extending around a body of the valve, and a strut connecting the cap to the annular portion, and
- a shrink foil extending at least around part of the cap and the connecting strut so as to press the cap and the connecting strut against the valve,
- wherein the cap comprises a cylindrical wall and a bottom wall delimiting a volume protecting the second end, and a gripping collar for gripping the cap,
- wherein the gripping collar extends around a distal end of the cap, the gripping collar having an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the cylindrical wall, and
- wherein the shrink foil extends over and covers the cylindrical wall and at least partially covers the gripping collar and the connecting strut.
A device for supplying pressurised fluid, comprising:
- a vessel,
- a valve comprising a first end connected to the vessel and a second end configured to be connected to a connector,
- a protective cover comprising a cap extending around the second end of the valve, an annular portion extending around an annular groove of a body of the valve, and a strut connecting the cap to the annular portion,
- a shrink foil extending at least around part of the cap and the connecting strut so as to press the cap and the connecting strut against the valve, and
- at least one adjustment ring, separate from the cap and the annular portion, extending around the annular groove of the body of the valve, the at least one adjustment ring adjusting a position of the annular portion.
