Definitions

• the invention relates to a pressure container, particularly for food, druggist, cosmetic, painting and chemical protective stuffs, comprising a protective vessel with a lid, containing at least one valve.
• Known pressure containers usually comprise metal pressure vessel containing a utility stuff, e.g. hair lacquer, perfume, liquid soap, mustard etc.
• a utility stuff e.g. hair lacquer, perfume, liquid soap, mustard etc.
• Freon is usually used to force the utility stuff out of the pressure container, at present also other less harmful media such as propane-butane are used.
• propane-butane Relatively high production costs of used pressure vessel is a disadvantage of said containers.
• freon is undesirable from ecological point of view.
• propane-butane is on the one hand dangerous, on the other hand sterility of a utility stuff is not secured.
• Another known solution uses the memory characteristics of an elastic material, e.g. rubber, to force a utility stuff out.
• an elastic material e.g. rubber
• a pressure container comprising a protective vessel in which there is an elastic bag hermetically connected to charging and discharging valve being situated in the lid of the protective vessel .
• an elastic bag hermetically connected to charging and discharging valve being situated in the lid of the protective vessel .
• a foil inert to a utility stuff is used, said foil being fixed also to mentioned valve.
• the utility stuff is forced out of the pressure container by the contraction of said elastic bag.
• Another pressure container comprising also only a protective vessel . e.g. of a plastic material, contains a hollow closed elastic body sealed by the circumference of the lid, above which in the lid there is a charging valve being at the same time a discharging valve. Forcing out of the utility stuff from this container from the space above the upper part of concave closed elastic body takes place after pressing the valve due to the contraction of the material of concave upper part and concave lower part of the hollow closed elastic body. During the last phase then due to the expansion of gaseous medium compressed inside the hollow closed elastic body during charging the pressure conainer, what secures rest-less discharge of the utility stuff.
• a disadvantage of said solution is that the hollow closed elastic body must be made of high quality rubber preventing gas permeability from the hollow closed elastic body and securing a high chemical stability against the utility stuff. Mentioned solution is relatively expensive with regard to the use of a relatively large amount of elastic material .
• a pressure container designed particularly for fire-extinguishing substances, comprising a protective vessel made for example of aluminium or of a plastic material, being provided with an air-bleeding opening and with a throat in the upper part, said throat having an upwards directed opened circular bed created in the internal circumference of the throat, while a lid with a charging and discharging valve is removably placed on said throat .
• This type of pressure continer comprises between the circular bed and the lid a clamped shoulder of elastic storage container partly reaching into internal space of the protective vessel, while to a charging and discharging valve is fixed a working bag partly reaching into internal space of elastic storage container into which leads the charging and discharging valve of the fire-extinguishing substance being fixed in the lid and provided with a discharging nozzle on the lid outside.
• a disadvantage of mentioned solution is the necessity to use a relatively large quantity of elastic material to produce the elastic bag, said elastic material must be of high quality. Mentioned solution is suitable mostly for fire-extinguishing substances.
• the aim of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages and shortcommings of existing pressure containers and to give such a container, which would meet all requirements of business, ecology, hygiene, economic technology, long-time storing ability and the lowest production costs.
• a pressure container particularly for food, druggist, cosmetic, painting and chemical protective stuffs according to the invention, being characterized in that is comprises an elastic sleeve in which there is arranged a strong external foil and in it a strong internal foil for a utility stuff, while said internal foil forms together with an external foil a limited interspace for a pressure gas.
• the external foil with a shoulder which is together with a shoulder made on an elastic sleeve placed in a circular bed in a throat of a protective vessel, while both shoulders are hermetically clamped between a throat and a lid with a charging and discharging valve provided with an internal foil and with a pressure valve leading into mentioned interspace.
• a shoulder of external foil can be hermetically clamped between a throat and a lid and internal foil can be fixed to a charging and discharging valve, while an elastic sleeve is of a hose type with both ends open and slid on at least a part of external foil, while a cylindrical protective cover is fitted on the throat.
• a part of external foil not covered by elastic sleeve can be provided with a check valve leading into an interspace.
• hose-type elastic sleeve can be provided with a closed bottom and its upper edge can be fixed to circumferential part of a throat and to form at the same time a protective vessel .
• external and internal foils can be coaxially fixed to a lid, while an elastic sleeve is then fixed to circumferential part of a lid forming at the same time a protective vessel.
• internal foil is fixed to a cover by pressing its shoulder by a fixing ring and external foil is fixed by pressing of its shoulder by another fixing ring into a lid of a protective vessel .
• Elastic sleeve can be also fixed to a cover by sliding on with an overlap, or glued, vulcanized, hemmed or pressed-in.
• elastic sleeve can be provided with perforation or it can be elastic netting or it can be a system of elastic rings arranged one beside each other or with spacings between them and they can be mutually connected by bridges .
• the advantage of the sulution according to the invention is that due to the use of external foil which is made of a strong and gas impermeable material it is possible to produce elastic sleeve of a gas permeable material, i.e. material from this point of view of lower quality and thus cheaper. External foil does not need to be inert against a utility stuff because it does not come in contact with it at all.
• Elastic sleeve can be also perforated, or it can be produced of elastic netting, or it can be formed by a system of elastic rings what further decreases material requirements and decreases the weight of the whole pressure container.
• An advantage of said pressure container is further t&e fact that it can be produced even in larger di ensi ⁇ is, e.g. in the size of a barrel, where saving of elastic material is very expressive.
• Another advantage of the solution according to the invention is that elastic sleeve can form at the same time a protective vessel with the possibility to be prepared from the point of view of its design, e.g.in the form of a figure.

• Elastic sleeve 1£ is made e.g. of rubber with long-time memory, while said material may be gas permeable, thus from this point of view a lower quality material may be used. Material of elastic sleeve 1£ can be even perforated, as illustrated in Fig. 15. Elastic sleeve 1£ can be made also of elastic netting 12, as illustrated in Fig. 16.
• Pressure container according to the second preferred embodiment differs from the pressure container according to the first preferred embodiment in the design of elastic sleeve 1£ which is only slid on major part of external foil 1, without being held by- lid £.
• Elastic sleeve l£ is in this case of a hose type with both ends open, for example as illustrated in Figs. 15 up to 17, while it is made also e.g. of rubber with long-time memory, it may be gas permeable, thus it may be produced even of lower quality material .
