PRESSURE VESSEL

摘要

The invention relates to a pressure vessel (2) for compressed gas having a wall (4) comprising a first and a second vessel half (6, 8) of fibre-reinforced plastic, each having a portion of substantially rectangular cross-section, which merges into an end face portion (14) closing the same and, at an open end of the first vessel half (6), is configured with a first connecting portion (16), which, by a first connecting element (10) which binds together the vessel halves, is joined together with a second connecting portion (18) configured at an open end of the second vessel half (8). The connecting element has third and fourth connecting portions (20, 22), configured and arranged complementarity to the first and the second connecting portion (16, 18) of the respective vessel half (6, 8). Hence the connecting portions (16, 18, 20, 22) are, on the one hand, positively joined together by interaction in dependence on the pressure action from the compressed gas and, on the other hand, non-positively joined together in dependence on a binding means.
