Abstract
Abstract An explosion proof device for a pressure accumulator, such as an aerosol container, having a valve portion comprising an action segment fixed in the vicinity of the valve portion, a part of such action segment being set in the state wherein engagement with a valve of the valve portion occurs, whereby the action segment can open the valve of the valve portion intermittently or permanently by displacement of the valve portion and/or of the action segment itself, being caused by the temperature of the atmosphere in which the aerosol container is disposed.
