A pressurised fluid cylinder with a main axis and having a shut-off valve with a linearly moveable valve element 6. A lever 10 is coupled to the valve element via an eccentric coupling 11 so that rotation of the lever about a pivot axis 33 causes linear motion of the valve element. The cylinder defines a median plane including the main axis x and parallel to the pivot axis. The pivot axis is on one side of the median plane and the end of the lever furthest from the pivot axis is on the opposite side of the median plane when the lever is in a position in which it closes the valve. |
