Regulated gas supply system

A regulated gas supply system for regulating the distribution of a highly pressurized gas to a desired pressure comprising:

• a body defining a gas inlet to receive a highly pressured gas and a gas outlet to distribute a regulated gas;
• a piston chamber defined in said body;
• a secondary chamber defined in said body;
• a piston slidably positioned in said piston chamber, said piston having piston channel traversing said piston and a piston extension to slidably engage said secondary chamber;
• a spring biasing said piston within said piston chamber, and
• a central channel extending through said piston and said piston extension.

A gas regulator for receiving a highly pressurized gas from a gas source and distributing the gas at a desired pressure, said regulator comprising:

• a housing having an gas inlet and a gas outlet;
• a piston chamber defined in said housing between said gas inlet and said gas outlet, said piston chamber including an uppermost surface, a seat opposing said uppermost surface, and a chamber wall connecting said uppermost surface with said seat;
• a secondary chamber defined in said housing;
• a piston slidably positioned in said piston chamber, said piston having a piston body with an abutting flange engaging said chamber wall, a piston channel traversing said piston body, a piston extension extending from said piston body to engage said secondary chamber, and a central channel traversing said piston;
• and
• resilient means for urging said piston flange away from said seat, said resilient means positioned between said piston flange and said seat.
