Abstract

The invention relates to a modified valve apparatus that resides on/in a pressurized vessel/container in which automatically releases pressure upon removal using a specialized tool, thus reducing the possibility for bodily/property damage as well as allowing access into the vessel/container.

Claims

1. A safety valve apparatus that resides in a pressurized container that automatically relatives any pressure (from inside the vessel/container) when removed using the described tool assembly is substantially shown and described herein.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:

[0010] FIG. 1 is a cross-section perspective view showing the valve apparatus that is in common use and is of standard form (free of any vessel/container) with the pressure relief ports.

[0011] FIG. 2 is a cross-section perspective view representing the valve apparatus that is in common use and is of standard form in which is inserted (threaded) into a vessel/container (including pressure relief ports) to represent the apparatus in use.

[0012] FIG. 3 is a drawing representing the specialized tool used to remove the valve apparatus and how it fits onto a standard socket wrench.

[0013] FIG. 4 is a drawing representing an angled, top view, of the specialized tool and a properly installed valve apparatus showing how the end user can remove and insert the valve apparatus using the tool.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0014] Referring to the Figures, wherein like numerals indicate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views as follows:

[0015] FIG. 1 in this cross-section perspective of the valve apparatus 1 that is threaded 2 and modified with pressure relief ports 3 that automatically releases any pressure once the seal 4 is broken.

[0016] FIG. 2 in this cross-section perspective the valve apparatus 1 properly threaded 3 into the vessel/container with the seal 5 properly sealing the pressure relief ports 4.

[0017] FIG. 3 represents a standard socket wrench 1 and the tool 2 with keyway tab cutaways 3 combined to form the manner in which the two items are assembled 4.

[0018] FIG. 4 shows an elevated side view of a vessel/container 2 with a properly installed valve apparatus 3 and the specialized tool assembly 1 and the motion in which the valve apparatus 3 is inserted (clockwise rotation) and removed (counter-clockwise rotation).
