chamber when said pressure reaches the aforesaid predetermined value.
4. A cartridge as claimed in Claim 3 wherein a spring acts on the piston
so that when the gas pressure in the discharge chamber falls it urges the
piston in the opposite direction to open the valve and thereby allows gas to
flow into the discharge chamber until the pressure therein again reaches the
aforesaid predetermined value.
5. A cartridge as claimed in Claim 3 or 4 wherein the seal is adjustable
to vary the aforesaid predetermined value.
6. A cartridge as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the
regulator value is arranged to control the flow of gas into the discharge
chamber from an intermediate chamber which is in communication with the
storage chamber.
7. A cartridge as claimed in Claim 6 wherein the intermediate chamber
is formed in a body which is attached to a body defining the storage
chamber, the said chambers communicating with one another through gaps
between the bodies and radial bores formed in the body defining the
intermediate chamber.
8. A cartridge as claimed in Claim 7 wherein the discharge chamber is
formed in a further body attached to the body defining the intermediate
