Pressure monitor and alarm for compression mounting with compressed gas storage tank

A pressure monitoring device for attachment to conventional compression sealed tank and regulator systems:

• an elongated manifold, said manifold having a first side and a second side, a mounting end, and a second end distal to said mounting end;
• an orifice communicating through said manifold at said mounting end from said first side to said second side;
• a chamber formed inside said second end of said elongated manifold, said chamber having a mounting aperture communicating between said chamber and the exterior of said elongated manifold;
• a conduit, said conduit axially communicating though said manifold, said conduit providing communication between said chamber and said orifice;
• an electrical power means;
• an alarm means, said alarm means activated when electrical power from said power means is communicated thereto;
• a pressure sensing means communicating with said chamber in a sealed engagement with said mounting aperture, said pressure sensing means communicating information concerning pressure level in said chamber to a switching means communicating with said pressure sensing means;
• said switching means communicating electrical power from said electrical power means to said alarm means when a predetermined pressure level is reached in said chamber and communicated to said switching means from said pressure sensing means;
• said orifice configured at said first side and said second side for an operative connection in a compression mounting between an outlet of a tank of compressed gas, and an inlet of a regulator, and providing communication therebetween;
• and
• whereby a sealed communication through said orifice between said outlet of said tank and said chamber and said inlet of said regulator may be achieved when said mounting end is operatively compression mounted in combination with said regulator and said tank.
