Remote triggering device for a pressure vessel, and assembly with a compressed gas reservoir and such a remote triggering device

Abstract

A remote triggering device comprises a housing, a piezoelectric element, a piston accommodated in the housing, and a prestressing device. The piston is adjustable between a starting position in which the prestressing device is held in a pretensioned state and an actuating position in which the piston is applied by the prestressing device against the piezoelectric element. The piston is held in the starting position by a temperature-sensitive locking mechanism. An assembly comprises a compressed gas reservoir, an electrically-actuated pressure relief valve that is attached to the compressed gas reservoir, and the remote triggering device.
