Definitions

  • This invention relates to an adapter, particularly, but not exclusively for use with gas cartridges.
  • a gas cartridge consists of a canister which houses the gas and possesses a breakable seal.
  • the canister may be used in conjunction with a gas burner.
  • the gas burner includes a piercing pin and a spring loaded sealing piston. When the gas canister and gas burner are connected together the piercing pin pierces the breakable seal to allow gas to flow through the pin into the gas burner, a gas tight seal being formed between canister and burner around the pin by the spring loaded sealing piston.
  • This assembly of gas cartridge and gas burner suffers from the drawback that once the breakable seal has been punctured by the gas burner the gas canister and gas burner cannot be separated as the gas would leak from the cartridge.
  • a second known form of a gas cartridge comprises a canister with a spring loaded aerosol type valve.
  • a securing thread is roll-formed on the external surface of the valve, which allow gas burners of various designs to be attached.
  • a gas burner with means to open the valve is attached to the canister which opens the valve. The gas is then free to flow to the gas burner. In this arrangement removal of the gas burner results in the closure of the valve.
  • the gas in the gas cartridge does not have to be fully used up before the gas burner is removed.
  • the main drawback of the two systems of gas cartridges and gas burners is that they are not compatible with each other. Therefore it is not possible to connect a gas cartridge of one type to a gas burner of the other type. It is noted that the two systems are not equally dispersed throughout the world. Different countries tend to favour one type of system, and where both types of system are available, supplies of both types of gas cartridge in particular are not always available to consumers.
  • the consumer therefore, can be at a disadvantage, particularly when travelling through a number of countries on holiday, for instance, in that the consumer may have to take a considerable number of gas cartridges to complete the journey.
  • the present invention has been made in consideration of these problems.
  • an adapter comprising means to break the seal of a sealed cartridge, valve means operative to control flow of cartridge contents there through and means enabling the adapter to be releasably attached to an appliance.
  • the means enabling the adapter to be realisably attached to an appliance is compatible with a burner of the type described above.
  • the adapter allows one burner to be used on both types of gas canister described above.
  • the means to puncture a sealed cartridge comprises a piercing pin and a spring loaded sealing piston.
  • the appliance comprises a gas burner.
  • the adapter further comprises a housing for the attached gas cartridge.
  • the housing comprises a two part canister, which encloses the gas cartridge.
  • urging the two parts of the canister together facilitates the pin piercing the breakable seal.
  • an adapter 10 comprises a hollow casing with upper and lower sections 12, 14.
  • Upper section 12 comprises a top face 18 and an open ended bottom face which is releasably engageable with lower section 14.
  • a piercing pin 16 and a spring loaded sealing piston 17 are located in the top face 18 of the upper section 12.
  • the pin 16 incorporates a valve 20.
  • the valve may be moved from an open position in which flow through the valve is permitted, to a closed position in which flow through valve is prevented by a turning knob 22 located on an outer wall of the upper section 12.
  • the top face 18 further comprises a screw thread 24 to allow an appliance, such as a gas burner to be connected to the adapter.
  • valve In use, the valve is moved into the closed position. A gas cartridge 26 of the type with a pierceable seal is placed into the lower section 14. The lower section is then connected to the upper section 12 of the casing. This results in the piercing pin 16 puncturing the seal on the gas cartridge after the spring loaded sealing piston which coaxially surrounds the pin, has been urged into sealing contact with the surface of the cartridge. A gas burner 28 is then secured onto the top face 18 of the upper section 12. By opening the valve gas is allowed to flow from the gas cartridge through the valve to the gas burner. When a user has finished and wishes to remove the gas burner the valve 20 is moved into the closed position, which closes the passage through the valve and therefore seals the gas inside the gas cartridge. The gas burner may then be removed from the cartridge adapter.
