Abstract
A pressure vessel for storing a highly pressurized pressure medium for use with motor vehicle air bags and the like has an elongated, pressure-tightly closable hollow body as well as at least one opening for the flowing-out of the pressure medium. The vessel can be made small and light by surrounding the circumference of the hollow body with a fiber composite winding.
Claims12
A pressure vessel for storing a pressure medium, comprising an elongated, pressure-tightly closable hollow body, at least one valve-closable opening for the flowing-out of the pressure medium, surrounded by a fiber composite winding surrounding the circumference of the hollow body, said hollow body comprising two half-shell-like vessel parts being pressure-tightly connected on both sides of the annular functional member, the hollow body being essentially rotationally symmetrical, and a plurality of radially outward-protruding connections in communication with the pressure medium distributed symmetrically over the circumference of said functional member.
