A cap for closing a sprayer tank has integrated therein a pressure relief valve having a tubular member providing a seat with respect to which a valve provided by an o-ring on a stem is displaced in a direction against the seat to close the valve. The stem is connected at one end thereof to a cap and is biased by a spring around the stem at the opposite end thereof into closing position. The cap is guided by a rim around the seat member. The cap defines around the stem a chamber. This chamber communicates with a spout which directs pressurized flow away from the cap when it is rotated to manually open the valve against the bias of the spring so as to relieve pressure in the tank. The passageway provided by the spout and the chamber is much larger than the passageway around the rim of the cap so that substantially all of the pressurized flow is diverted by this snout away from the fingers of the person grasping the cap at ears providing wings on the cap for rotating the cap to displace the valve to open position.
Un couvercle pour fermer un réservoir de pulvérisateur intègre un détendeur de pression qui possède un élément tubulaire faisant office de siège pour une soupape formée d'un joint torique sur tige, cette soupape se déplaçant en opposition au siège, de manière fermer la soupape. La tige est connectée à l'une de ses extrémités à un couvercle et est positionnée préférentiellement par un ressort autour de la tige à l'extrémité opposée, dans une position fermée. Le couvercle est guidé par une jante autour du siège. Le couvercle définit une chambre autour de la tige. Cette chambre communique avec un embout qui dirige le flux pressurisé dans la direction opposée au couvercle lorsqu'on le tourne pour ouvrir manuellement la soupape, contre la force appliquée par le ressort, afin de détendre la pression dans le réservoir. La voie créée par l'embout et la chambre est bien plus grande que la voie autour de la jante du couvercle de sorte que l'embout dévie la majeure partie du flux loin des doigts d'une personne manipulant le couvercle muni d'oreilles pour le faire tourner et mettre la soupape en position ouverte.
