The invention relates to a pressure maintaining gas cylinder valve. It consists of a pressure retaining device: The axis of the pressure retaining device and that of the valve element are in the same vertical plane; the pressure retaining device has a mounting base, a spring and a valve are located in the mounting base: the valve is in the valve element near the air outlet; the front section of the valve is near the air outlet, while the rear section of the valve is in the mounting base; the spring is between the valve and the mounting base. Because the invention has no eccentricity, the gas channel is smoother and the volume of the cylinder valve is greatly reduced. The mounting seat of the pressure retaining device not only provides support for the valve and spring, but also ensures that the stroke of the valve element is not interfered.

A safety release bleeder valve serving as a plug includes a barrel having an exterior surface and an interior throughbore surface for matingly receiving a plug having a top end with exterior threads and an interior socket for receiving a driver tool for moving the plug between an open venting state and a closed non-venting state.

A gas valve is adapted for controlling the flow of a medical gas for oxygen therapy in case of spontaneous breathing. The gas valve comprises a connection component for connecting the gas valve to an external supply; and a regulating system configured for selecting and supplying a pulsating flow of medical gas or a continuous flow of medical gas, in which the regulating system comprises a first sub-regulating system for supplying a pulsating flow and a second sub-regulating system for supplying a continuous flow.

A one-touch valve including a valve main body (1) having a valve body incorporated therein, a stem (3) mounted on the valve main body, a rotating handle (6) fixedly attached to an upper part of the stem, a holder (21) accommodated in the rotating handle, and a lock mechanism (10) arranged in the holder and the rotating handle. The lock mechanism is formed of a spring inserted into the holder, a spherical body provided on a lower spring-back side of the spring, a lock member having a midway on a rear end side axially attached to the holder, having a rear end part pressed by spring-back via the spherical body, and having a tip part side abutting on a lower edge part of the rotating handle in a spring-back state, and an engagement groove where the tip end part side of the lock member is locked by the rotating handle.

A gas shut-off valve assembly designed to automatically close gas flow in a gas conduit in response to a seismic vibration comprises a door which may be parallel to a port in the conduit and a weight above the door. In some embodiments, the door may be mostly out of the conduit passageway and out of the gas flow allowing for improved gas flow efficiency in the normally open state. Upon sensing a seismic vibration, the weight falls from a platform onto the door causing the door to move into the conduit passageway sealing the passageway. In some embodiments, a port in the passageway is perpendicular to the door's default position in the open state. When the door closes the passageway, the door rotates ninety degrees about an axis into the second closed position to become parallel with the port.

Embodiments of a propane tank valve are provided. In one embodiment, the propane tank valve includes a plug with a tapered portion, the plug moveable between closed and open positions relative to a valve passageway. Upon the plug being in the closed position, the tapered portion of the plug is positioned within the valve passageway. Upon the plug being initially moved from the closed position to the open position, the tapered portion of the plug is sized and configured to initially minimize the gas flow from the valve passageway and through a flow limiting device configured to be coupled to the propane tank valve such that movement of the tapered portion from the closed plug position initially forms a gap between a tapered surface of the tapered portion and an internal surface of the valve passageway.

A safety release bleeder valve serving as a plug includes a barrel having an exterior surface and an interior throughbore surface for matingly receiving a plug having a top end with exterior threads and an interior socket for receiving a driver tool for moving the plug between an open venting state and a closed non-venting state.

The present invention relates to a valve assembly configured to be arranged in a cylinder opening of a gas cylinder, comprising a valve housing having a first housing end and a second housing end, a first housing opening arranged at the first housing end and a second housing opening arranged at the second housing end, the first housing opening having an inner diameter, and a bore extending between the first housing opening and the second housing opening, the bore having an inner face, and an inner valve unit arranged in the bore, said inner valve unit having an inner valve housing, and a first end and a second end, the first end having an outer diameter, the outer diameter being larger than the inner diameter of the first housing opening, the first end being configured to abut the inner face at the first opening, whereby a filling valve is provided, the inner face of the first opening being a filling valve seat, the second end comprising an inlet to the inner valve unit, the inner valve unit further comprising a consumption valve arranged at the first end, and a first pressure reduction valve configured to reduce a pressure in the gas cylinder from a first gas pressure to a second gas pressure, wherein the valve assembly further comprises a protection device arranged in connection with and configured to interact with the inner valve unit to hinder unintended gas flow into the gas cylinder. The present invention also relates to a gas cylinder having a gas with a pressure and an opening, to a gas delivering system, to a gas consuming system and to a beverage dispensing system.

A valve system having a valve position indicator is disclosed. The valve position indicator allows for viewing of the valve position from one or more viewing locations. In one example, the valve position indicator includes a side valve open/close indicator and a top valve open/close indicator on a valve assembly. An indicator locking mechanism securely locks the valve position indicator in alignment with a position of a control valve.

A flow direction restriction valve mechanism unit includes a pressure decreasing valve assembly that is located to freely advance or retract in a combination valve cassette attached to an in-outlet secondary side flow path formed on the side of an outlet with respect to an intermediate transmission member in a flow path, and retracts by a pressure of gas; a first coil spring urging the pressure decreasing valve assembly in a retracting direction; a check valve that is located to be freely advance or retract with respect to the pressure decreasing valve assembly, and retracts by a pressure of the gas; and a second coil spring urging the check valve in an advancing direction. A gas induction passage is formed in which the gas flows and acts on the pressure decreasing valve assembly such that the pressure decreasing valve assembly moves in the advancing direction.
