Definitions
- the present invention relates to a protective device or seal for guaranteeing a gas cylinder equipped with an integrated pressure reducer valve (RDI) comprising a plurality of orifices or inlet or outlet fittings to be closed and protected before being used by a user.
- RTI integrated pressure reducer valve
- Industrial gas cylinders and especially medical gas cylinders are usually delivered to users with a protective device called "seal of warranty", which generally closes the outlet port of the gas valve or valve regulator equipping each bottle, which ensures the user that the bottle has not been used between the time of filling and delivery to the user.
- a seal of guarantee is generally in the form of a closure plug to be fixed to the connection to be protected.
- EP-A-2096350 discloses a closure device adapted and adapted to be attached to an outlet fitting (1 1) of a gas valve (10), comprising a body formed of a central portion and two lateral wings, each having complementary half-impressions of the outer surface of the connector to be protected, and coming to take the "sandwich" connection when the device is placed on the fitting so as to protect it and to prevent access to it.
- This device also comprises one or more pre-cuts (6) for breaking the device to separate it from the connector, during use.
- Document US-A-2004/0244836 proposes a device constituting a seal of guarantee, making it possible to avoid contamination of a fitting of a valve block equipping a fluid reservoir and to warn of a prior use of said valve .
- This device has a flexible band shape provided with a closure cap that masks the outlet fitting of the valve block and a ring being positioned around a rupture disc.
- a fragile zone allows the user to break the band when it is arranged on the valve block and thus give access to the connection. After rupture, the flexible band remains attached to the closure cap.
- the problem to be solved is to propose an improved protection device or seal for a gas container to protect one, several or all the ports or connections of a gas valve or gas expansion valve, in particular the ports or connectors for connection flow-liter, olive-type, toothed type and filling port, dirt or deterioration, between the packaging center and the first use of the bottle and equipped, while maintaining a protection of the filling port even after the warranty seal has been broken by a user.
- the solution is a protective device or seal for a gas valve or integrated pressure regulator valve (RDI) comprising a flexible elongate body having a first end and a second end, the first end carrying a first coupling member and the second end carrying a second coupling element, said first and second coupling elements being able to be joined to each other, and the elongate body comprising a plurality of closure members, characterized in that at least one closure member is attached to the elongate body by means of at least one fragile zone that is capable of breaking preferentially when a user applies a pivoting action, tilting or rotation at this fragile zone, so as to be able to separate said shutter member from said elongate body.
- RTI gas valve or integrated pressure regulator valve
- the (or) fragile zone or preferential rupture zone is able to break preferentially when a user applies an action, ie a force, of pivoting, tilting, rotation or any other force or action adapted, at the level of this fragile zone, so as to be able to disengage said shutter member from said elongate body.
- an action ie a force, of pivoting, tilting, rotation or any other force or action adapted, at the level of this fragile zone.
- the protective device or seal for a gas valve or integrated regulator valve (RDI) according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following technical characteristics:
- the elongate body comprises at least 3 closure members.
- the number of shutter members is chosen according to the number of orifices, fittings, port or the like carried by the tap or RDI and to be protected.
- At least two closure members are arranged on the elongate body, between the first coupling element and the second coupling element.
- At least one closure member is arranged at one of the first or second ends of the elongated body, and carries the first coupling element or the second coupling element, respectively.
- the first coupling element and the second coupling element form a male / female assembly and are capable of and designed to become permanently fixed to one another, that is to say once fixed to one another, for example by clipping, they can not be dissociated from one another without breaking.
- the elongated body has a band shape.
- closure members are plugs, closure caps, flanges or the like. These are plugged and / or clipped on or in the orifices, fittings or other to protect.
- the protective device is formed in whole or part of a polymeric material, preferably plastic such as PVC, PE, PET, PP, PMMA, PU ... the protective device is preferably formed by molding in one piece.
- the closure members are arranged on the elongated body at such sites and are furthermore designed and shaped, that is to say dimensioned, to each close off a valve or RDI orifice when the protective device is positioned on the tap or RDI that it must protect.
- the precise choice of the positioning sites and the sizing of the closure members therefore depends on the valve or RDI considered, and can be done empirically by means of simple measurements and routine tests.
- Information can be printed on the protective device by a conventional technique, for example by inkjet, screen printing, pad printing or any other printing technique or by gluing, for marketing communication purposes or to improve the use of the product, for example by affixing instructions for use.
- the information can be embossed during the molding of the bucket.
- one of the closure members carries at least one gripping element.
- the gripping member is a tongue, a ring or an expansion of the closure member.
- the gripping element carried by one of the shutter members is sized to allow a user to grasp it to exert a pulling force, torsion or other to break the elongated body level of the rupture zone and thus disengage it from said closure member.
- It comprises at least two fragile zones with preferential rupture located on either side of one of said closure members so as to separate said shutter member from the rest of the elongate body.
- the fragile zone (s) with preferential rupture are obtained by localized weakening of the elongate body, for example a pre-cut zone, a thinned zone, a zone with rupture primer, etc.
- the fragile zone or zones with preferential rupture are obtained by drilling small holes at the junction or between the elongate body and the first closure member.
- the invention also relates to a valve or a valve with integrated gas distribution valve comprising a plurality of orifices or fittings closed by shutter members of a protective device or seal of warranty according to the present invention.
- the invention also relates to a gas container, in particular a gas cylinder, equipped with a tap or a valve with an integrated gas distribution valve comprising several orifices or connections closed by closure members of a protective device or guarantee seal according to the present invention.
- the invention also relates to a method for removing a protection device according to the invention closing several orifices or connections of a gas valve or gas expansion valve arranged on a gas container, such as a gas cylinder, in which:
- a force is applied at the level of the fragile zone (s) of the protection device so as to break the flexible elongate body at the level of said fragile zone (s) and to dissociate the first closure member from said elongated body
- a first orifice or connection of the valve or gas expansion valve is closed. with the first closing member disengaged from the flexible elongate body, and
- the force is applied by a user through at least one gripping member.
- the gripping element is advantageously a tongue, a ring or an expansion of the closure member.
- FIG. 1 represents an embodiment of a protection device for a gas valve or gas expansion valve according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of part of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 illustrates the establishment of the protective device on a gas container valve
- FIG. 4 illustrates the protective device of the invention in position on a gas container integral pressure regulating valve (RDI), and
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of part of Figure 4.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a protective device or seal for a valve or gas expansion valve according to the present invention. It comprises a flexible elongate body 1, in the form of a flexible strip, carrying a plurality of shutter members 3, 4, 5, namely shut-off caps.
- first and second ends 1a, 1b carrying the first and second coupling elements 2a, 2b are not visible because they are hidden by one of the closure caps 5.
- the protection device of the invention is seen as it is when the first and second coupling elements 2a, 2b are fixed to each other, for example by clipping, in such a way as to solidify one with the other in a definitive way, that is to say immovable and non-separable; one of them being carried by the rear face of one of the shutter caps 5.
- the protection device of the invention is formed of a polymeric material, such as a plastic, and in one piece, preferably by molding or any other suitable technique.
- a gripping element 7 such as a tongue, ring or expansion attached to the closure member 3 which is a breakable part to release the seal when positioned on a tap or a RDI 10.
- the gripping element 7 is dimensioned to allow a user to grasp it with his fingers and to exert the action or force mentioned above and thus obtain a release of one of the shutter members 3, namely the one to protect the filling orifice 13, also called the first shutter member 3.
- Figure 2 is an enlarged view of this part of Figure 1 showing better the two fragile areas 6 capable of breaking preferentially. As can be seen, they are obtained thanks to embrittlement obtained by drilling small holes or the like at the junction (s) between the elongate body 1 and the first closure member 3.
- the two fragile zones 6, also called zones or fracture profiles, can take various forms, for example a pre-cut zone, a thinned zone, a zone with rupture primer ...
- Figure 3 illustrates the placement of the protection device on a gas container RDI 10.
- the end carrying one of the shutter members 5, called the second shutter member 5, of the body 1 of the warranty seal is positioned on the orifice of the connector 1 1, here a typical output olive, the valve 10 so that said second closure member 5 comes to protect and seal the orifice of said connector 11.
- the flexible elongate body 1 is progressively folded to fit the other closure members 3, 4 vis-à-vis the other orifices or connections 12 of the valve 10, namely the first closure member 3 and the third shutter member 4.
- the elongate flexible body 1 thus encircles the valve body 10, that is to say surround its outer periphery.
- the second end 1b of the flexible body 1 is brought together and then fixed at the first end 1a through first and second coupling elements 2a, 2b which are secured to one another, for example by clipping.
- the first coupling element 2a located at the first end of the flexible strip 1, in particular carried by the rear or outer face of the closure member 3 therein, may be a female type connection, such as an orifice, in which is connected, for example by clipping, the second coupling element 2b located at the second end 1b of the flexible strip 1 and which may be a male-type connection, such as a pin.
- the two coupling elements 2a, 2b must not be able to be decoupled, that is to say disconnected from one another.
- the connection must be final in order to guarantee adequate protection and to prevent any inadvertent use of the gas container equipped with such a tap.
- Figure 4 illustrates the protection device of the invention in position on an integrated pressure regulator valve or RDI 10 of gas container where it can be seen that an effective protection of the olive type connection 1 1, the orifice 13 and the outlet connector 12 are protected by the protection device of the invention, in particular by the closure members 3, 4, 5 which are correctly positioned relative to their respective orifices or fittings so that seal them and protect.
- Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the embodiment of Figure 4 in which the closure of the seal is on itself, that is to say that the seal is clipped around the olive 11.
- the withdrawal by a user of the protective device according to the invention so as to release one or more orifices or connections of a valve or RDI gas is done in a reverse process.
- the user applies a force to the fragile zone (or zones) 6 of the protection device so as to break the flexible elongate body 1, which is typically made of plastic, at the level of said fragile zone 6, for example a (or more) pre-cut line formed of small aligned holes, and thus to separate the first closure member 3 from the rest of the elongate body 1 flexible.
- the elongate body 1 carrying the two other closure members 4, 5 can then be removed and evacuated so as to disengage the orifices or connections of the tap or gas expansion valve previously covered and protected by the second and third closure members 4, 5.
- the force is applied by the user via a gripping element 7, such as a tongue attached to the first closure member 3, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- the protection device according to the invention can be used on any type of valve or RDI arranged on a gas conditioning and storage container, in particular a gas cylinder, in particular a medical or pharmaceutical gas intended for the food industry. Or other.
