Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid fuel gas cartridge.
  • This type of cartridge effectively reduces or eliminates the escape of the fluid outside the cartridge, after perforation, provided that the cartridge is used in accordance with its optimal operation.
  • Such a cartridge is particularly intended for use with a gas apparatus comprising a perforator.
  • the perforator must enter the cartridge vertically in the center of the pierceable part under normal conditions of use of the gas appliance.
  • the perforator may pierce the cartridge at an angle to the axis of the cartridge, or eccentrically through the cartridge. relative to the pierceable part.
  • the technical problem underlying the invention is therefore to provide a cartridge that does not allow an escape of the fluid when the mounting of the device on the cartridge is performed in a position that does not correspond to the normal conditions of use.
  • the perforator of this appliance enters the tank in an inclined manner with respect to the axis of the tank, or offset with respect to the center the piercing part, this drill will not come into contact with the central part of the valve.
  • the tip of the perforator will be located opposite the peripheral portion of the valve, located relative to the perforable portion at a distance greater than the length of the perforator penetrating the cartridge. As a result, the perforator does not move the valve, and gas escape is avoided.
  • the tip of the perforator comes into contact with the central portion of the valve, located relative to the perforable portion at a distance less than the length of the penetrating perforator in the cartridge.
  • the perforator thus moves the valve, and the gas can be delivered to the outside of the cartridge.
  • the valve comprises a support portion of the seal, outside the peripheral zone, comprising a flange outside which is housed the seal.
  • the flange protects the seal against damage from the tip of the perforator if it penetrates the tank eccentrically or inclined relative to the pierceable portion. In addition, this flange protects the seal of the cut chips contact during the perforation of the cartridge.
  • the seal is housed in a groove of the support portion, facing the tank wall.
  • the groove in particular forms the protective rim.
  • the seal is arranged to press the wall of the reservoir in an area outside the pierceable portion.
  • This positioning of the seal makes it possible to protect it against damage due to the tip of the perforator if it penetrates the reservoir in an off-center or inclined manner with respect to the pierceable part.
  • the resilient means bear on a fixed support, in particular by welding, on the tank wall.
  • the cartridge comprises means for retaining the valve relative to the support, intended to make the valve captive relative to the support.
  • a cartridge 2 of liquid fuel gas comprises a reservoir 3 having a cylindrical peripheral wall extended on one side by a dome 4, and closed on the other side by a crimped bottom 5.
  • the wall of the tank 3 comprises a perforable portion 6 in the form of a concave cup located at the top of the dome, on the axis A of the cylindrical peripheral wall of the tank 3.
  • the cartridge 2 comprises, inside the tank 3, a device for preventing or reducing the escape of pressurized fluid after perforation of the cartridge.
  • This device comprises a valve 7 provided with a gasket 8 intended to be applied against the wall of the tank 3 around the pierceable part 6 by a helical spring 9 resting on a support 10 welded to the wall of the tank 3, around the pierceable portion 6, at a distance therefrom.
  • the valve 7 further comprises a portion 14 for supporting the gasket 8, outside the peripheral portion 13, comprising a groove 15 for housing the gasket 8, facing the wall of the tank 3.
  • the gasket is arranged so as to press on the wall of the tank 3 in an area outside the pierceable part 6.
  • the valve On the opposite side to the pierceable part 6, the valve comprises an outer shoulder 16 on which the spring 9 bears.
  • the valve 7 also comprises two elastic tabs 18 extending through an opening 19 in the support 10, and comprising at its end a stop 20. These tabs constitute a means of retaining the valve 7 relative to the support, making it possible to make the valve 7 captive relative to the support before the latter is fixed in the reservoir 3.
  • the support 10 is constituted by a part comprising a cylindrical side wall, with an external return 22 intended to be fixed on the wall of the tank 3, in particular by welding, and a bottom in which the opening 19 is formed in which engage the flaps 18 of the valve.
