Patent ID: 10274974

Abstract:
Gas regulating means (22), to regulate the flow of gas so as to achieve a desired pressure set by a user, is provided. The gas regulating means (22) is located within a gas flow path between a gas inlet and a gas outlet, characterised in that the gas regulating means (22) comprises an encapsulated valve (24; 410) with a lever (26; 426) that can be actuated by a proximate movable piston arrangement (20). In an embodiment, the encapsulated valve (24, 410) of the gas regulating means (22) comprises a valve body (50; 412) having an inlet side (52; 416) and an outlet side (54; 420), the lever (26; 426) being pivotally fitted at the outlet side (54; 420) with a pivot pin (56; 430), the lever (26; 426) having an actuating cam (66; 432), proximate the pivot pin (56; 430). The encapsulated valve (24, 410) of the gas regulating means (22) comprises a capsule valve pin (68; 434) for abutting against the actuating cam (66; 432) of the lever (26; 426).
