Abstract
Abstract A pressure vessel includes a housing having an interior and a passage communicating with the interior and being bounded by an inner circumferential surface. A separate plug is received in the passage. The plug has an outer circumferential surface juxtaposed with the inner circumferential surface. These surfaces define together at least one gap of relatively small cross-section. The gap extends lengthwise of the passage communicating with the interior of the housing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A pressure vessel, comprising: a housing having an interior and a passage communicating with said interior, the passage being bounded by an inner circumferential surface; an elastic partition subdividing the interior of said housing into a first compartment for containing liquid and a second compartment for containing gas, the passage communicating with the first compartment and allowing liquid to flow into and out of said first compartment; and a separate and unitary plug received in said passage and having an outer circumferential surface which is juxtaposed with said inner circumferential surface bounding said passage and defines with said inner circumferential surface at least one gap having a relatively small cross-section and extending lengthwise of said passage in communication with said interior and with the exterior of the housing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A pressure vessel, comprising: a housing having an interior and a passage communicating with said interior, the passage being bounded by an inner circumferential surface; an elastic partition subdividing the interior of said housing into a first compartment for containing liquid and a second compartment for containing gas, the passage communicating with the first compartment and allowing liquid to flow into and out of said first compartment; and a separate and unitary plug received in said passage and having an outer circumferential surface which is juxtaposed with said inner circumferential surface bounding said passage and defines with said inner circumferential surface at least one gap having a relatively small cross-section and extending lengthwise of said passage in communication with said interior and with the exterior of the housing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The vessel defined in claim 1, wherein the plug is made of a sintered material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A vessel as defined in claim 1, wherein said inner circumferential surface of said passage is provided with at least one groove extending lengthwise of said passage and in part defining said gap when said plug is inserted in said passage.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A vessel as defined in claim 1, wherein said outer circumferential surface of said plug is provided with at least one groove extending lengthwise of said plug and in part defining with said inner circumferential surface said gap when said plug is inserted in said passage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A vessel as defined in claim 4, wherein said plug is pressed into said passage.
