Definitions

  • a recharge vessel containing a liquified gas is made of two portions of plastic material, a top one and a bottom one.
  • the bottom portion is cup-shaped and includes a bottom and a cylindrical side wall, whereas the top portion is in the form of a relatively fiat inverted funnel the edge of which is secured by welding or glueing to the top edge of the bottom portion.
  • the top portion is made of a very hard material, possibly opaque, and in particular a polyamide loaded with glass fibres, whereas the bottom portion is made by molding of a transparent or at least translucent material such as a polyamide without charge of glass fibres.
  • the present invention relates to a recharge vessel for a liquefied gas under pressure, such a vessel being made of two portions assembled together in fluidtight fashion and being adapted to have its neck connected with the tank of a utilization device intended to be filled with said gas, for instance a lighter, a liquid atomizer or the like.
  • the invention consists chiefly in making the two portions of the vessel of plastic materials, one of these portions, the bottom one, being in the form of a cup and including the bottom and the side wall of the vessel, and the other portion, the top one, being in the form of an inverted funnel including a neck for the delivery of the gas and a frusto-conical part fitting on the top of said cup-shaped portion side wall, the corresponding edges of said side wall and of said frusto-cylindrical part being ensured by being glued or welded together.
  • the top portion is made of a moldable plastic material as hard as possible, which material may be opaque and may in particular consist of a polyamide loaded with glass fibres, the cup-shaped portion being made of a transparent or at least translucent material, not so hard as said top portion and which may consist of a polyamide without glass fibres incorporated therein.
  • the neck of the top portion constitutes a valve box into which a closing valve and its return Spring may be introduced from the inside before this top portion is assembled With the bottom portion.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of the two portions of a recharge vessel according to the invention shown before these two portions are assembled together,
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale showing the assembly of the two portions together;
  • the vessel is intended to contain a liquefied gas under pressure, such as butane, intended to be fed to lighters.
  • the vessel comprises a neck 1 for the introduction of said gas into the tank of a lighter.
  • One of the portions 2 of the vessel is cup-shaped and includes a bottom 2a and a side wall 2b.
  • the other portion 3 in the form of an inverted funnel, comprises neck 1 and the frusto-conical portion 3a to be secured in a gastight manner to portion 2.
  • the respective corresponding edges of portions 2 and 3 are sealed together by glueing or by welding.
  • Recharge vessels intended to contain a liquefied gas under pressure are generally provided in their necks, with a closing valve.
  • the neck of the vessel is formed by molding of a plastic material
  • the inside of the neck is advantageously shaped to form a valve case 4 into which there is introduced, from the frusto-conical part 3a of top portion 3, 'a valve 5 and its return spring 6, this operation being performed before top portion 3 is secured to cup-shaped portion 2.
  • a shoulder 4a forming a bearing for a ring 7, either slit or not, after the valve has been introduced into valve case 4.
  • shoulder 41 may be dispensed with because the ring is fixed by said sharp edge cutting into the wall of recess 5.
  • portion 3 when it is made according to the present invention, permits a particularly easy mounting of such a valve in view of the fact that valve case 4 is of easy access since, before portion 3 is fitted to portion 2, instead of being located at the end of a rather deep recess in the vessel as it is the case in prior constructions.
  • the vessel was made of two portions, one corresponding to the neck and to the side wall of the vessel, whereas the other portion consisted essentially of the vessel bottom.
  • Recharge vessels for fuel gas and in particular butane gas for gas lighters are generally provided on the external surface of neck 1, with screw threads 8 for connecting the vessel to the tank of the lighter to be recharged.
  • portion 3 When portion 3 is made of a molded plastic material, this material must be as hard as possible, in such manner as to prevent neck 1 from being screwed in incorrect manner in the coresponding screw threaded hole of the gas lighter tank. Such a screwing would prevent a correct transfer of the gas and the vessel, having; its screw threads injured, could never be correctly mounted later on the tank of another lighter for recharging it.
  • projections 9 and 10 constitute a set of radial fins.
  • sealing joint is advantageously constituted, on the side of the lower edge of the frusto-conical part 30 of portion 3, by a circular groove 11 adapted to accommodate the top edge of the wall 222 of portion 2.
  • a slot 12 adapted to receive the burrs resulting from the welding or glueing of portions 2 and 3 together (FIG. 2).
  • a recharge vessel which comprises, in combination,
  • cup-shaped portion made of a molded plastic material and comprising a bottom and a side wall
  • said two portions are made of different plastic materials, respectively, said cover portion being provided, on a wall of said neck, with screw threads, the material of said cover portion being harder than the material of said cup-shaped portion, the material of said cup-shaped portion being at least translucent.
