Abstract
A gas pressure regulator comprising a body member which mounts a valve between the inlet and outlet gas passages, and which also includes a tubular sleeve which communicates with the outlet passage. A pressure adjusting cap is threadedly mounted to the tubular sleeve. A slidable piston is housed within the tubular sleeve and serves to adjust the opening of the valve, and the movement of the piston is guided by a bore in the cap, so as to preclude tilting or jamming of the piston. The cap also includes an outer sleeve which is coaxially outside the tubular sleeve of the body member, so as to facilitate manual rotation of the cap to adjust the valve opening.
