FLOW DIVERTER WITH ANTISIPHON
A flow diverter for diverting flow between a toilet bowl and a toilet tank, having: a body having an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet; and a flow adjustment mechanism rotatable within the body to selectively divert different percentages of flow between the first outlet and the second outlet; and an air vent and diaphragm in the body to prevent a siphon flow from the first or second outlet back to the inlet.
Flow diverter with antisiphon
A flow diverter for diverting flow between a toilet bowl and a toilet tank, having: a body having an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet; and a flow adjustment mechanism rotatable within the body to selectively divert different percentages of flow between the first outlet and the second outlet; and an air vent and diaphragm in the body to prevent a siphon flow from the first or second outlet back to the inlet.
Pneumatic valve control device
A pneumatic valve control device includes an air cylinder. The air cylinder includes a first piston; an air outlet; and a locking and releasing mechanism configured to lock and release the first piston when the first piston is pushed up. The device also includes a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder includes a second piston; an air vent disposed on a first side of the second piston; and a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet disposed on a second side of the second piston. The device also includes a partition disposed between the hydraulic cylinder and the air cylinder; a partition channel disposed on the partition; a piston rod connected to the second piston and configured to pass through the partition channel; and a tappet valve connected to the piston rod and configured to leave the partition channel in response to an upward movement of the piston rod.
VACUUM OPERATED VALVE
A fill valve with pressure chamber having an open bottom end and a diaphragm at a top end such that falling water level in the toilet tank causes the diaphragm to flex in a first direction, thereby moving a sealing member to an open position, with a venturi in the fill valve keeping the sealing member in the open position until water refilling the tank causes the diaphragm to flex in a second direction, thereby moving the sealing member back to the closed position.
SIPHON ACTIVATED VALVE
A fill valve system with a float nested in a container connected to the fill valve and a siphon device passing water out of the container into the toilet tank, with the siphon device having an air vent dimensioned such that: (i) tank refilling is delayed until after the flush valve closes; (ii) the fill valve is not turned on by small leaks in the tank; and (iii) the fill valve turns off when it encounters large leaks in the tank.
FLOW DIVERTED WITH ANTISIPOHON
A flow diverter for diverting flow between a toilet bowl and a toilet tank, the flow diverter having: a body with an inlet, outlet and pressure relief vent; and a flow adjustment mechanism rotatable around the outlet to selectively divert different percentages of flow between the outlet and the pressure relief vent by moving a stopper in and out of the outlet by rotating a sleeve of the flow adjustment mechanism around the outlet.
FLOW DIVERTER WITH ANTISIPHON
A flow diverter for diverting flow between a toilet bowl and a toilet tank, having: a body having an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet; and a flow adjustment mechanism rotatable within the body to selectively divert different percentages of flow between the first outlet and the second outlet; and an air vent and diaphragm in the body to prevent a siphon flow from the first or second outlet back to the inlet.
Dual control mode-type deodorising and water drainage valve
The invention relates to an improved dual control mode-type deodorising and water drainage valve. The water drainage valve includes a linear control water drainage mechanism and a hydraulic water drainage mechanism controlled by a micro-immersible pump. The linear control water drainage mechanism includes a piston with the piston being partitioned into an upper and lower chamber by a central partition plate; the upper chamber is a piston control chamber for controlling the resetting of the piston, and the linear control water drainage mechanism controls the upward action of the piston; and the lower chamber is a water drainage fluid chamber for creating water pressure on the piston. More than one through hole is provided in the central partition plate to communicate with the upper and lower chambers partitioned by the central partition plate.
System and Method for Run-On Detection
A system for detection of water in a conduit includes a casing attached to the conduit on an exterior of the conduit, a sensor assembly supported by the casing and configured to sense a presence of water within the conduit, and an electronic component contained within the casing. The sensor assembly includes a first probe and a second probe, each having a probe contact accessible within the casing and extending into an interior of the conduit to be exposed in the interior of the conduit. The first probe and the second probe are spaced from each other and electrically isolated from each other. The electronic component is connected to the first probe contact and the second probe contact to place the electronic component in electronic communication with the first probe and the second probe. The conduit may be a vacuum breaker tube positioned between a valve and a plumbing fixture.
Flushometer system
A flushometer system includes a pressure vessel with a flow path defined between a valve inlet chamber and an outlet and a valve assembly disposed within the pressure vessel and configured to selectively open and close the flow path. A primary diaphragm assembly is disposed within the pressure vessel and includes a primary disc configured to be moveable to actuate the valve assembly to selectively open and close the flow path between the valve inlet chamber and the outlet, and a primary diaphragm connected to the primary disc. A secondary diaphragm assembly is disposed within the pressure vessel and includes a secondary diaphragm and a secondary disc, the secondary diaphragm assembly configured to actuate the primary diaphragm assembly by venting fluid pressure on one side of the primary diaphragm. An activation assembly is configured to actuate the secondary diaphragm assembly by venting fluid pressure on one side of the secondary diaphragm.
