Abstract
Device for feeding fuel gas to an application (6), the device comprising at least one fuel gas bottle (1) furnished with a tap (2), and a bleed-off apparatus (4, 13) comprising an electronic logic unit (9) and a bleed-off outlet (4) selectively connectable to the tap (2), the bleed-off outlet (4) being linked (5) fluidically to an application (6) receiving the fuel gas originating from the bottle (1), the tap (2) comprising an electronic manometer (3) for measuring the pressure in the bottle (1), the electronic manometer (3) being devoid of battery and comprising an inductive member (7) for wirelessly transmitting to the electronic logic unit (9) information relating to the measured pressure, characterized in that the bleed-off apparatus (4, 13) also comprises an inductive member (8) powered electrically by the electronic logic unit (9) and in that, when the bleed-off outlet (4) is connected up to the tap (2), the inductive member (8) of the bleed-off outlet (4) is situated in a manner adjacent to the inductive member (7) of the manometer (3) so as to ensure electrical power supply of the manometer (3) by inductive coupling.
