Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas supply device disclosed herein includes a connector attached to and detached from a main stop valve of a gas cartridge, an actuator, and a gas discharger. The actuator moves the connector closer to the main stop valve of the attached gas cartridge. The gas discharger blows gas to the tip of the connector before it is connected to the main stop valve. The gas supply device disclosed in the present specification blows gas to the tip of the connector prior to connecting the connector to the main stop valve to remove dust and the like adhering to the connector. Therefore, it is possible to suppress dust and the like entering the gas supply device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A gas supply device that enables a gas cartridge to be mounted to the gas supply device, the gas cartridge storing a fuel gas and including a main stop valve that seals the fuel gas, and the gas supply device supplying the fuel gas in the gas cartridge to a gas utilization device and comprising: a connector attached to and detached from the main stop valve; an actuator that relatively moves the connector closer to the main stop valve of the gas cartridge mounted to the gas supply device; and a gas discharger that blows the gas to a tip of the connector before being connected to the main stop valve.
