Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of protective devices for protecting a gas cylinder valve for liquefied, dissolved or compressed gases. More specifically, it relates to a gas cylinder protection cap.
  • the cylinder valve When transporting or handling gas cylinders, the cylinder valve may be subject to shock and damage. To avoid this, the gas cylinders are equipped with a safety device called protective cap.
  • the protective caps In order to allow access by the user to the cylinder valve, the protective caps must be open at the top.
  • the protective caps must also comply with ISO 11117, according to which the upper end of the protective cap must protrude by a minimum height from the tap to the open position, in order to prevent any shock likely to damage it.
  • the bottles are filled in filling plants by means of automata.
  • PLCs require a minimum space to operate around the cylinder valve.
  • the taps have a lateral orifice allowing the filling of the bottles.
  • the filling is done by means of a cane.
  • the hat must have a lateral opening allowing access to the filling rod.
  • the protective caps commonly used have in their lower part an opening provided with a screw thread intended to be screwed on a corresponding screw thread arranged on the bottle.
  • the cap is screwed until all the nets are engaged. It often happens that the lateral opening of the protective cap is not found in front of the lateral orifice of the valve. Under these conditions, the access of the automaton is not possible.
  • this manipulation represents an additional operation which is tedious and costly in terms of manpower since it must be carried out manually by an operator.
  • the document FR-A-2 976 048 discloses a protective cap for a pressurized fluid bottle.
  • the hat is an assembly of two half-shells. Each half-shell defines a lower base in the form of a threaded half-ring.
  • the two assembled half-shells form a threaded ring intended to cooperate by screwing directly or indirectly with the thread of the neck.
  • the intermediate piece there is the risk of disengaging the cap from the bottle by unscrewing.
  • the positioning of the cap is initially performed by the user himself by assembly of the two half-shells, which does not guarantee optimal placement.
  • the document WO2007 / 125240A2 describes a protective cap for gas cylinder in the form of two half-shells.
  • the cap is secured to the thread of the neck through an intermediate piece.
  • This piece corresponds to a split ring which is screwed on the neck.
  • the ring has an outer profile in the form of a horizontal rib, intended to cooperate with a complementary profile located inside the cap.
  • the profile of the rib does not prohibit the possible rotation of the cap relative to the ring when the screwing of the two half-shells is not optimal.
  • the positioning of the cap is initially performed by the user himself by assembling the two half-shells, which does not guarantee optimal placement.
  • the document EP1041339A1 describes a bi-material protective cap for gas cylinder.
  • the cap is composed at its base of a metal insert forming a threaded ring, which ensures the attachment of the cap on the threaded collar of a gas cylinder.
  • the insert is overmolded in a cowling structure of polymer material.
  • the insert has reinforcements ribbed on its outer surface to ensure the rigidity of the assembly.
  • the insert and the polymer overmoulding are de facto solidary. In other words, the cap is directly screwed onto the neck of the bottle with the aforementioned drawbacks that it provides, in particular risk of disengaging the cap from the bottle by unscrewing.
  • the present application therefore aims to develop a protective cap arranged to allow sufficient lateral access to the side port of the valve, so that an automaton can fill the bottle or the end user can connect the pipe of his equipment without the need to unscrew the hat even partially.

  • the lower part is in the form of a clamping ring provided with a central opening having an internal lateral face provided with a complementary thread to the thread of the gas bottle and an external lateral face. as well as an upper face and a lower face.
  • the clamping ring has positioning structures located on its external lateral face while the base has positioning structures located on the inner face of its opening. lower.
  • the clamping ring has a lower flange extending substantially horizontally outwardly.
  • the upper face of the flange is also provided with positioning structures which cooperate with corresponding structures arranged on the lower periphery of the opening of the base. In this way, the system is particularly stable.
  • the positioning structures are complementary vertical ribs effectively preventing the rotation of one part relative to the other. It can be any equivalent means for fulfilling the desired dual function (positioning + absence of rotation) such as stops or other. In all cases, the two elements will be associated by vertical sliding of one piece relative to the other.
  • the cap furthermore comprises a counter-nut having an opening having a complementary thread to the thread of the cylindrical neck of the gas cylinder, this counter-nut being intended to be screwed onto the threading the gas cylinder so as to grip the base of the upper part with the lower part.
