Gas Container

Abstract

A gas container 1 is disclosed including a pressure-proof container 3 , accommodating a foam body 9 sharing more than 80% of an inner capacity of the container 3 , and a valve 7 provided on a top of the pressure-proof container 3 for ejecting liquefied gas from the pressure-proof container 3 . The foam body 9 is internally formed with a continuous hole 11 in communication with the valve 7 and the continuous hole 11 internally has a tube 53 . The tube 53 has a distal end 53 A that is located at a position L nearly half a filled-up volume of the pressure-proof container 3 , and the tube has a distal end 53 A that is disposed in a space portion 11 A formed inside the continuous hole 11 in a non-contact state.

1 . A gas container comprising:
 a pressure-proof container;   a foam body, accommodated in the pressure-proof container and absorbing liquid fuel, which is provided with a continuous hole defining a space for evaporating the liquid fuel;   a tube formed with a bore extending from one end of the tube to the other end thereof for guiding the evaporated fuel; and   a valve mounted on the pressure-proof container at an upper portion thereof and formed with a guide bore connected to the bore of the tube for guiding the evaporated fuel to an ejecting portion for ejection from the pressure-proof container;   wherein the tube has a distal end protruding from the valve to a position that reaches a position substantially half a volume filled up in the pressure-proof container and the distal end of the tube is located at a position distanced from a bottom surface and an inner wall of the continuous hole.   
     
     
         2 . The gas container according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the foam body accommodated in the pressure-proof container has a capacity corresponding to at least 80% of a capacity of the pressure-proof container.   
     
     
         3 . The gas container according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the guide bore of the valve and the bore of the tube are connected to each other via a connecting pipe internally equipped with a filter.   
     
     
         4 . The gas container according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the tube has an outer diameter nearly half of an inner diameter of the continuous hole.   
     
     
         5 . The gas container according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the foam body comprises at least two foam elements with the same diameter.   
     
     
         6 . The gas container according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the tube has a chamfered distal end.   
     
     
         7 . The gas container according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the tube has a distal end provided with an adapter, having a through-bore in communication with the bore of the tube, which covers a part of a distal end area of the tube.   
     
     
         8 . The gas container according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the adapter has a chamfered distal end.
