A system for controlling with safety the transfer or control of high pressure fluids from a container for use as to an inflatable escape slide. The pressurized container houses valve mechanisms such as a first and second valve mechanism, with the first valve mechanism controlling by actuation the on off flow of high pressure fluids to the second valve mechanism. The second valve mechanism controls the rate of flow by reducing the pressure for delivery to the inflatable escape slide. A safety valve operates in conjunction with the first valve mechanism and upon breaking of the valve mechanisms from the pressurized container to prevent the contents of the pressurized container from rapid escape or uncontrolled release.

1. In a system for controlling the flow of pressurized fluids to an inflatable member, the system comprising an inflatable member, a storage container confining a pressurized fluid, said container having a necked portion at its uppermost end, a valve housing secured to said necked portion of said container, a valve means in said valve housing, said valve housing having a first valve mechanism and a second valve mechanism, said first mechanism moveable between an on and off position, said first valve mechanism operative in said on position for communicating high pressurized fluids to said second valve mechanism, said second valve mechanism being operative to control flow of pressurized fluids to said inflatable member at a predetermined pressure, a safety valve located in said necked portion in abutting: engagement with said first valve mechanism in said off position and cooperative herewith to block the flow of high pressure fluids from said container, and said safety valve operative to block the flow of high pressure fluids when said first and second valve mechanisms are broken off said necked portion of said container, wherein said first valve mechanism is moveable between an actuated condition and a non-actuated condition, and said safety valve is moveable with said first valve mechanism in said actuated condition to communicate said fluids from said container to said second valve mechanism for control thereby.
