Abstract
A compact, gas pressure regulator makes use of a substantially disc-shaped member which is biased within the regulator by one or more spring members exerting forces on the disc-shaped member at multiple, discrete locations which are angularly separated from each other about the area of the first surface. Movement of the disc-shaped member toward or away from a high-pressure orifice maintains a regulated, lower pressure for delivery through an outlet in the regulator. A member for mounting a pressure gauge is secured to the housing of the pressure regulator without substantially increasing the overall length of the regulator.
