COMPRESSED GAS CARTRIDGE PUNCTURE APPARATUS

摘要

The present embodiments provide apparatus and methods for use in releasing gas from a compressed gas source. Some embodiments provide apparatuses for use in releasing compressed gas from a source that include a source of compressed gas (102), a puncture pin (107), a driving mechanism positioned relative to the source of compressed gas (101), and a trigger mechanism (105, 106). Upon activation of the trigger mechanism the driving mechanism drives the compressed gas onto the puncture pin releasing the compressed gas from the source. In other embodiments, upon activation of the trigger mechanism the driving mechanism drives the puncture pin into the compressed gas releasing the compressed gas from the source.
