Fire extinguisher valve

摘要

A fluid container 1 has an opening 2 controlled by a fluid release valve 3. The valve comprises a sleeve 4 and a slider body 5 contained therein which is adapted to move axially from a closed position to an open position. A fluid inlet 6 is provided in a side of the sleeve 4 and a fluid outlet 7 is provided at a first end 8 of the sleeve. A fluid passage 9 extends through the slider body 5 from a side 10 to a first end 11 thereof. In the closed position the slider body 5 overlies the fluid inlet 6 and closes it, and in the open position the fluid passage 9 is aligned with the fluid inlet 6 so that the fluid passage 9 connects the fluid inlet 6 to the fluid outlet 7.
