摘要:
Non-fragmenting pressure relief apparatus includes at least one circular rupture disc having a central asymmetric bulged section and a peripheral flange portion. A semi-circular line of weakness extends around the periphery of the bulged section and presents a hinge portion between the ends of the line of weakness. A hold-down member for the rupture disc having an inner opening surrounding the bulged section of the disc is provided with a unitary segment that extends into the inner opening of the hold-down member. The spaced end extremities of the line of weakness extend beneath the hold-down member segment. The hinge portion of the disc upon rupture of the disc bends about a fulcrum defined by the outer margin of the hold-down segment, which in conjunction with deflection of the segment of the hold-down member contributes to anti-fragmentation of the disc.

Collapsible container (1) for fluent and particulate bulk goods, which container includes a carrying base part (20) which is provided with shock absorbing members (21), collapsible side walls (30) and preferably a lid. The side walls (30) are movably attached to the base part (20) via hinge parts (31). Adjacent side walls (30) are furthermore inter-connectable via a coupling which is angularly flexible around a vertical pivot axle. The lid (50) is mechanically connected with the side walls (30) so that forces can be absorbed in both the vertical and the horizontal plane.

A hygienic pressure relief panel unit (10) is provided which reliably ruptures at a predetermined pressure in order to prevent buildup of dangerous pressure within protected structure such as a vessel defining an enclosed space, which prevents media passage therethrough before rupture, and which presents a sanitary, easily cleanable surface toward the vessel interior in order to inhibit accumulation of food particles, dust, or the like. The preferred panel unit (10) includes a slotted stainless steel panel with the slots (26) configured as a line of weakness (28) for separation at a predetermined pressure, a sheet of PTFE material (14) prepared on one side thereof to present an adhesive bonding surface, and an adhesive (18) coupling the sheet and the panel, whereby the panel unit can be placed in a covering relationship with the vent opening of the protected structure in order to present the outer face of the PTFE sheet toward the vessel interior.
