To provide a depressurizer with a function of depressurizing a filling hose separated from a filling device when a safety device (safety joint) operates (separates). A depressurizers (10, 11) according to the present invention are mounted to a filling hose (21) for filling hydrogen from a hydrogen filling apparatus (100) to a vehicle. In the present invention, it is preferable that on a main body portion (1) of the depressurizers (10, 11) is formed a depressurizing communication hole (1B) communicating with a hydrogen gas passage (1A); a plug (2) that can be inserted into the depressurizing communication hole (1B) is mounted; and on the depressurizing communication hole (1B) and the plug (2) are formed tapered portions (a pin tapered portion 2B of the plug 2 and a tapered portion 1BB of the depressurizing communication hole 1B) with complementary shapes.

Support for liquid dispensers, which comprises a main body which can be coupled with a liquid dispenser and includes a main duct to allow a flow of liquids from the main body to the liquid dispenser, wherein the main body extends along a longitudinal axis from a rear side to a front side of the main body, wherein the main body is provided with a first coupling suitable to fix the support to a tube, wherein the first coupling comprises a seat suitable to surround a portion of the tube, so that the tube can move axially but not radially in the seat.

A system for mounting an adapter on a main flexible pipe for connecting a branch pipe is described, including a fitting having an externally threaded shank and a widened base which can be inserted in a hole of the pipe and can be fixed by a first ring nut screwed on the threaded shank, wherein the system includes a tool for inserting the fitting in the hole and for tightening the first ring nut, and wherein on the adapter a second ring nut is provided for fixing the adapter to the fitting.

The device (1) allows the locking of a plug (2) to a fitting (3) and comprises: two locking blades (10), having the outer edge (10B) in an arc of circumference, arranged symmetrically opposite and coplanar to a annular groove (31) of the plug (2), sliding parallel to the latter; actuation means (4) defined by a toothed pinion (13) with which two racks (120) provided in the locking blades (10) are engaged, determining for the same corresponding and synchronized translations in opposite directions, so that the arched edges (10B) are displaced outwards to engage said annular groove (31), locking the plug (2) to the fitting (3). The toothed pinion (13) has a hexagonal head (130) at the top which is engaged by an operating member (15).

An apparatus for temporarily blocking fluid flow through a pipe comprises a housing configured to enclose a portion of a pipe and a flow blockage device. The housing includes a first part defining a housing chamber for receiving the pipe, and a second part defining a stowage space adjacent the housing chamber. The flow blockage device is movable through an aperture formed in one side of the pipe to an installed position in the housing chamber. The flow blockage device includes an outer sealing part that is configurable between an unexpanded configuration allowing the flow blockage device to pass through the aperture and allowing fluid flow through the pipe and an expanded configuration configured to block fluid flow through pipe by substantially preventing passage of fluid between outer side surfaces of the flow blockage device and inner surfaces of the pipe.

An additive injection apparatus has a flow manifold with an injection tube configured to communication an additive into the flow manifold. A hopper is connected to the injection tube and will deliver the additive to the injection tube. First and second valves movable between open and closed positions control the flow of additive from the hopper into the injection tube and from the injection tube into the flow manifold.

An air distributor may include a thin-wall main pipe (10) and branch pipes (48) distributed on the main pipe. The branch pipes may be symmetrically fixed on the main pipe by locking device disposed in the main pipe. Welding is not needed, and disassembly and maintenance are easy. The main pipe is thin-wall pipe, therefore the weight of the device is greatly reduced, and the production cost is decreased.
