  • the head of the lever 16 is in the form of a ring which may comprise, at its center, crossed ribs.
  • lever 16 may have any other suitable form.
  • the slot 21 has a general shape corresponding to the shape of the outer contour of the lever 16 (with for example a clearance of a few millimeters or centimeters between the edge of the lever 16 and the edge of the slot 21.
  • a seal 22 of guarantee can be provided to guarantee the non-use of the device after filling the bottles 3.
  • the seal 22 guaranteed for example has the shape of a flat tongue and includes a manual gripping end.
  • a first end of the seal 22 is attached to the panel 20 at the slot 21 and a second end of the seal is attached to the lever 16 in its first position.
  • the seal 22 forms a mechanical stop preventing the lever 16 from moving from the first to its second position.
  • the seal 22 is attached to the panel 20 and the lever by elastic deformation or gluing or any other appropriate mode.
  • the seal 22 may comprise a rupture zone arranged to manually arrange the seal 22 in a second withdrawn configuration in which the binding attachment of the seal 22 to the interface panel 20 and / or the lever 16 is broken. That is, in its second configuration, the lever 16 can be moved.
  • the removal of the seal 22 causes an irreversible rupture of the integrity of the latter. That is, the seal 22 is broken can not be repositioned without the first configuration.
  • the lever 16 may comprise a zone of weakness such as a localized reduction in thickness to facilitate its break in case of shock and limit the force transmitted to the second valve 9 (especially in the case where the lever is in its second position).
  • This zone of weakness of the lever 16 can in particular allow the breakage of the lever 16 in the event of a side impact when the corresponding valve 9 is open, without affecting the integrity of the device. After breaking, the lever 16 may retain a residual length allowing its handling in degraded mode (by hand or via a tool).
  • the first connection end 6 preferably comprises a filling connector located opposite the interface panel 20 and this panel 20 comprises a first access opening 23 dedicated to the first connection end 6 .
  • connection 18 for withdrawal located opposite a second opening 24 of the panel 20.
  • This connection of withdrawal is provided to receive a complementary connection of a hose 17 withdrawal (cf. Figures 4 to 6).
  • the panel 20 may comprise at least one mobile cover 27 (for example sliding or pivoting) to allow opening (see FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and right part of FIG. 8) or closing (see FIGS. of Figure 8) access to the first end 6 or second end 8 connection in the manner of a window.
  • a mobile cover 27 for example sliding or pivoting to allow opening (see FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and right part of FIG. 8) or closing (see FIGS. of Figure 8) access to the first end 6 or second end 8 connection in the manner of a window.
  • the circuit preferably comprises a pressure gauge 26 which can be located opposite a third opening 25 of the panel 20.
  • the circuit 4, 5 may comprise, arranged in series between the pressure regulator 10 and the second connection end 8, a safety valve 1 1 with an opening towards the atmosphere when it is subjected to a pressure greater than a determined threshold.
  • the valve 11 is disposed downstream of the second isolation valve 9, that is to say between the second isolation valve 9 and the second end 8.
  • this valve 1 1 could be arranged between the expander 10 and the second valve 9 insulation.
  • the safety valve 1 1 is tared for example to open a passage of gas to the atmosphere when it is subjected to a pressure threshold of between 50 and 310 bar (or 4500 psi) and preferably between 150 and 200 bar. It is therefore easy to understand that the device, while being simple and inexpensive structure, allows the user to easily identify the various organs and interfaces (fittings, valve %) and use them with great ergonomics and security.
  • the interface panel 20 can clearly separate the filling and withdrawing portions of the circuit. This makes it possible to limit the risks of confusion in the connections and actuation of the valves.
  • the interface panel 20 may include text or symbol and color areas to further facilitate the use.
  • the cover 27 makes it possible to limit access to the filling connection.
  • the interface panel 20 has the advantage, in the event of maintenance and after dismantling, of making available all the implementation elements of gas under pressure and thus of facilitating their dismounting for the operator without that the latter has to adopt an uncomfortable posture, prejudicial for its members, for example.
