Abstract
A tap for a gas cylinder is provided with a position indicator comprising a cylindrical skirt disposed about a cylindrical support member. The skirt is coupled to an actuating wheel of the tap for rotation therewith and for displacement axially with respect to the actuating wheel along the longitudinal axis of the tap. The support member is mounted on the tap body and, in normal operation of the tap, it is retained in fixed position with respect to the tap body. The skirt has an internal screw thread engaging an externally threaded portion of the support member. In closed position of the tap the skirt masks a signaling portion of the support member. When the actuating wheel is rotated to open the tap the skirt is displaced in a direction to uncover the signaling portion to indicate the open position of the tap. The signaling portion may be colored, for example in red.
