    Abstract: A single-action discharge valve for discharging a vessel's contents. The valve has a valve body with a passage therethrough through which the contents are discharged, a frangible seal held within the valve body and sealing the passage while the seal is intact, and a solenoid including an armature moveable from a first to a second position. As the armature moves, pins or teeth impact and break the frangible seal. Magnets hold the armature in the first position until the solenoid is actuated. The armature is substantially exterior of the passage so that discharge is unimpeded. In one embodiment, the pins reciprocate radially when cammed by the armature and impact the sidewall of a frangible dome seal. In other embodiments, teeth on the armature, or pins in the armature's path, reciprocate parallel to the armature's movement and impact a frangible disk.

    Abstract: An improved thermal relief vent for a fuel tank, and a method of manufacturing the same, includes a thermal relief ring that is used to create a mechanical seal within the vent. The thermal relief ring, at room temperature, is crimped in place by use of the vent cap itself. The crimped thermal relief ring creates a mechanical seal between the vent and the vent cap, up until a predetermined thermal relief point, at which time the thermal relief ring will soften and/or yield and release the vent cap from the vent body.

    Abstract: A thermal relief device releases gas from a storage cylinder when a thermal trigger senses a predetermined temperature threshold. The thermal relief device includes a valve body which has a passage for communication with the interior of the cylinder. A pilot valve assembly is disposed within the valve body and has a popper for blocking the flow path. The poppet has a longitudinal passage extending through the popper. A metal diaphragm sealing the passage of the poppet has a first side exposed to the interior of the cylinder and a second side opposite the first side exposed to the outlet. A hollow bayonet is mounted in alignment with the passage of the popper on the outlet side of the disk and is moveable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the bayonet is spaced from the disk in the passage, and in the second position the bayonet pierces the disk. A spring is used to biased the bayonet toward the disk. A thermal trigger is operably coupled to the bayonet for holding the bayonet in the first position until the thermal trigger reaches a predetermined temperature threshold. Upon reaching the predetermined temperature threshold, the thermal trigger releases the bayonet so that the bayonet moves to the second position and pierces the disk. When the disk is pierced, the popper is moved out of the flow path and gas is allowed to escape from the cylinder.

    Abstract: A dual valve actuator mechanism for a fire extinguisher bottle in a milit vehicle. The mechanism includes an electrical trigger system for operating the valve automatically in response to energization of an electronic optical fire sensor; alternately the electrical trigger system can be operated by closure of a manual switch from within the vehicle interior. A second cable system is provided to operate the valve manually from a point external to the vehicle, as when the vehicle is unoccupied at onset of the flame or when the soldiers are forced to exit the vehicle to avoid inhalation of fumes or vapors. Unfortunately the valve actuation stroke is very small, on the order of two-tenth inch or less. The present invention relates to a lost-motion connection in the cable for lengthening the stroke necessary to operate the valve; this prevents inadvertant valve actuation due to vehicle vibrations or installation tolerances.
