A detachable handle includes a substantially U-shaped structural member and a second attaching member. A proximal end of the structural member includes a first attaching member and a distal end includes a plurality of clip members and at least one hole to hold a plurality of connection fittings and couplers respectively. A central opening is formed to hold at least one valve assembly when the second attaching member is connected to the first attaching member using at least one fastening member. The detachable handle is designed to keep the plurality of connection fittings and the at least one valve assembly away from the ground and out of the dirt.

A valve assembly comprising a housing and a valve, the valve being disposed within the housing, a first indexed member integral to the housing, the first indexed member adapted to be complementary to a second indexed member, and a radio frequency identification device adapted to communicate with a radio frequency receiver, the valve being configured to align with a canister, seal the canister and open in a single movement. A drug containment device having said valve assembly is also disclosed.

An in-stock compressed fluid cartridge system to be used in a gas powered airsoft gun. The compressed fluid cartridge may be supplied fluid to a multi-stage expansion chamber configured to depressurize the fluid into gas and prevent fluid from reaching a downstream pressure regulator. The compressed fluid cartridge may be engaged and disengaged with the in-stock system by turning a thread-less quick release end cap that allows rapid replacement of the cartridges.

The invention provides a device for protecting a high-pressure gas tank of a motor vehicle. The device includes at least one heat-conducting plate and a thermal triggering unit. The heat-conducting plate has a distal region and a proximal region. The proximal region is arranged immediately adjacent to the thermal triggering unit and the distal region is arranged at a distance from the thermal triggering unit. The heat-conducting plate may be shaped so that it tapers from the distal region to the proximal region. The proximal region itself may be shaped in a tapering fashion. The heat-conducting plate may include heat-conducting fibers.

A pressure vessel system for a motor vehicle comprises a plurality of pressure vessels for storing fuel. The pressure vessels are generally provided in the underfloor region of the motor vehicle, and the longitudinal axes of these vessels are expediently parallel to one another. At least one pressure vessel of the plurality of pressure vessels is a reinforced pressure vessel. At least one other pressure vessel of the plurality of pressure vessels is a reinforcement-free pressure vessel.

The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen tank support apparatus, and the hydrogen tank support apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: a hydrogen storage tank; a frame portion on which the hydrogen storage tank is seated; and a sliding block portion configured to fix a nozzle portion of the hydrogen storage tank to the frame portion, wherein the sliding block portion includes a lower block portion fixed to the frame portion, an upper block portion coupled to the lower block portion in a concave-convex manner so that movement of the hydrogen storage tank is limited in a longitudinal direction and a width direction of the hydrogen storage tank, and a slide ball portion configured to surround an outer side surface of the nozzle portion, interposed between the lower block portion and the upper block portion, and configured to rotatably support the nozzle portion.

A dispenser apparatus that includes a first cascade stage having a first connector configured to connect to and disconnect from a first gas storage vessel, and a first conduit connected to the first connector and having a first valve and a first pressure measuring device, and a second cascade stage having a second connector configured to connect to and disconnect from a second gas storage vessel, and a second conduit connected to the second connector and having a second valve and a second pressure measuring device. A common flow path is fluidly connected to the conduits, and has a dispensing nozzle to connect to a vehicle during refueling. A controller is provided to control the first and/or second valve(s) to perform refueling using gas stored in at least one of the first and second gas storage vessels based on pressure measurements of the first and/or second pressure measuring device(s).

The present invention relates to a pressure vessel fixing system, which is a neck mount for fixing a pressure vessel used for storing various fluids.

A cryogenic tank for storing cryogenic fluids is disclosed. The cryogenic tank is typically configured to be mounted on a vehicle for supplying cryogenic fuel to a propulsion system of the vehicle. The cryogenic tank comprises an inner vessel for containing cryogenic fluids and an outer vessel surrounding the inner vessel to define a vacuum insulating volume therebetween. The outer vessel is configured to transmit static and/or dynamic loads, while the inner vessel is partially or completely isolated from such loads.

A valve assembly including a housing and a valve, the valve being disposed within the housing, a first indexed member integral to the housing, the first indexed member adapted to be complementary to a second indexed member, and a radio frequency identification device adapted to communicate with a radio frequency receiver, the valve being configured to align with a canister, seal the canister and open in a single movement. A drug containment device having said valve assembly is also disclosed.
