Abstract

Provided herein is a safety and control device for pressure vessels for application devices for liquid media including a safety valve, a control device for the operating pressure, a pressure indicator, and a pressure relief, as well as a means for connecting the device to the pressure vessel, the device having a housing, which is provided with a compressed air supply and an air outlet, and a multifunctional slide arranged within the housing The multifunctional slide defines a channel, which is connected to a blind bore and a pin and at the end has means for relieving the pressure by manual actuation. A spiral spring encloses a pin and supports the multifunctional slide with respect to a bottom of the housing. Locking means enable the pin to be arrested in a position protruding from the housing .

First claim

1 . A safety and control device for a pressure vessel for application devices for liquid media, the device comprising:
a safety valve; a control device for an operating pressure; a pressure indicator; a pressure relief; means for connecting the device to the pressure vessel; a housing, which is provided with a compressed air supply and an air outlet; a multifunctional slide arranged within said housing, said multifunctional slide being axially displaceable within and enclosed by said housing, said multifunctional slide defining a channel, which is connected to a blind bore leading to the pressure vessel and, when said multifunctional slide is in a rest position, said multifunctional slide is only connected to the compressed air supply, when said multifunctional slide is in an operating position, said multifunctional slide is connected to the compressed air supply and the air outlet, and, when said multifunctional slide is in a venting position, the multifunctional slide is only connected to the air outlet, said multifunctional slide being connected at a first end thereof opposite from the blind bore to a pin, which protrudes from said housing through an opening and at the first end has means for relieving the pressure by manual actuation; a spiral spring arranged in said housing in a region of said pin, wherein said spiral spring encloses said pin and supports said multifunctional slide with respect to a bottom of said housing; and locking means, which enable said pin to be arrested in a position protruding from said housing.

2 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said means for relieving the pressure by manual actuation are configured as at least one of a lever, plate and ring.

3 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said means for relieving the pressure are formed as a separate component within the compressed air supply.

4 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the separate component is connected to a carriage.

5 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the carriage is formed in an L-shaped manner and is configured to be arrested by way of said locking means.

6 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said spiral spring is formed by two springs with different spring rates, the spring with a higher spring rate being shorter than the spring with a lower spring rate.

7 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said locking means are formed as a catch.

8 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said locking means are formed as a bayonet fastener.

9 . The safety and control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing is connected to the pressure vessel in at least one of a force-fitting, form-fitting, and material-bonding manner.

10 . A pressure vessel with a safety and control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the safety and control device is arranged within the bottom of the pressure vessel and is connected to the pressure vessel in a gastight manner.
