Abstract: The invention is directed to a valve actuating device comprising a body with a bore and a bottom, an actuating element sealingly housed in the bore of the body and forming a first chamber with the body, a piston sealingly extending through a bore in the actuating element, the piston and bore delimiting a second actuating chamber, a passage for an auxiliary fluid between the first and second chambers so that a movement of the piston in the bore of the actuating member can increase the pressure in the first chamber and move the actuating element. The fluid passage comprises a restriction and a check-valve, both arranged in parallel, so as to limit the flow of the auxiliary fluid from the second chamber to the first chamber.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a valve for a compressed gas cylinder, comprising: a valve body with an inlet, an outlet and a passage connecting the inlet with the outlet; a shut-off device of the passage with an actuating pin extending in the passage; a check-valve between the shut-off device and the inlet, the check valve comprising a seat and a movable closing member initially held at a position distant from the seat by contact with a guiding surface and movable past the position by the pin so as to cooperate with the seat and prevent a refilling flow of gas from the outlet to the inlet. The guiding surface is on a tubular portion fixed to the valve body and comprising at least one radial aperture so as to allow the refilling flow of gas to by-pass the closing member when in the distant position.
