Fluid may flow through a channel in the stem through a stem assembly and around the elastomeric sealing disk in the selected direction, but is substantially prevented from flowing around the elastomeric sealing disk in a direction opposite to the selected direction, when the check valve is installed within the bore.

Flexible laminate structure with integrated one-way valve
11703138 · 2023-07-18 · ·

The invention is directed to a one-way valve for a flexible package which comprises a first film layer having at least one first cut line and a second film layer having at least one second cut line, wherein the lines are offset from one another. An adhesive layer is disposed between the film layers. The film layers and the adhesive layer define a valve area wherein the first film layer and the second film layer are not permanently adhered to each other. The second cut line fluidly connects the interior of the flexible package to the valve area and the first cut line fluidly connects the valve area to the ambient atmosphere surrounding the flexible package. The adhesive pattern within the valve area creates a gas flow channel from the second cut line toward the first cut line.

Systems and methods for venting enclosure

The present disclosure relates to an enclosure of a vapor compression system, where a component is disposed within the enclosure. The component is fluidly coupled to the vapor compression system and configured to discharge a flow of fluid. The enclosure includes a hole within a portion of the enclosure and a relief valve disposed within the hole of the enclosure, where the relief valve is configured to discharge the flow of fluid in a first direction through a passage within the relief valve. The passage extends from an interior region of the enclosure to an environment external of the enclosure. The relief valve is configured to block a second flow of fluid through the passage in a second direction, where the second direction is opposite of the first direction.

Linear compressor
11549498 · 2023-01-10 · ·

A linear compressor includes a discharge valve detachably attached to a front end surface of a cylinder to open and close a compression space of the cylinder; and a valve spring elastically supporting a rear surface of the discharge valve to press the discharge valve toward the front end surface of the cylinder. The discharge valve includes reinforced fiber, and the reinforced fiber is arranged parallel to the front end surface of the cylinder. Accordingly, while a rigidity of the discharge valve is improved, a weight of the valve is reduced to enhance responsiveness of the valve, suppress abrasion of the cylinder, and reduce striking sound.

Vent with relief valve

A vent assembly has a housing defining a cavity, a first end, a second end, and a coupling structure towards the second end. A mounting surface is positioned between the first end and the second end within the cavity and defines a valve opening and a vent opening. A vent is coupled to the mounting surface across the vent opening, and an umbrella valve is sealably disposed on the mounting surface across a valve opening.

Inflatable object and valve therefor
11543042 · 2023-01-03 · ·

In an aspect, an inflatable object includes an object body enclosing a chamber to receive air, and a valve mounted to the inflatable object body, including a valve body defining a passageway between the chamber and an ambient environment. The valve body has a shoulder. The valve body defines an outside end, which opens to the ambient environment, and an inside end, which opens into the chamber. The valve includes a one-way flap that is movable between an open position to permit fluid communication between the chamber and the ambient environment through the passageway, and a closed position. The one-way flap is biased to the closed position with a closing force selected to be overcomable to move the one-way flap to the open position by an airflow having a speed that is less than about 48 m/s, and which is at a pressure lower than 1 atmosphere.

Serviceable valve carousel system
11536387 · 2022-12-27 · ·

A serviceable valve carousel system may include a valve carousel housing having a valve carousel receiver, a valve service port, an integrated first port adapter, and an integrated second port adapter. A rotatable valve carousel may be rotatably disposed within the valve carousel housing. The rotatable valve carousel may include a substantially cylindrical portion, a removable valve lumen, a valve cap receiver, and a removable valve cap having a substantially radiused portion compatible with a substantially radiused portion of the substantially cylindrical portion of the rotatable valve carousel. The rotatable valve carousel is rotatable between a first state that allows fluid communication through a removable valve at least partially disposed within the removable valve lumen and a second state that allows the removable valve cap and removable valve to be removed and replaced via the valve service port without use of tools while maintaining a sewage connection.

Ventilation component

A ventilation component (1) includes a gas-permeable membrane (10), a ventilation valve (20), and a structural member (30). The ventilation component (1) is to be attached to a housing (2) having a ventilation opening (5). The ventilation valve (20) includes an elastic body, and is opened and closed by elastic deformation of the elastic body. The structural member (30) supports the gas-permeable membrane (10) and the ventilation valve (20). In an attached state where the ventilation component (1) is attached to the housing (2), ventilation between an inside of the housing (2) and an outside of the housing (2) is carried out via the gas-permeable membrane (10), and the ventilation valve (20) is opened to discharge a gas inside the housing 2 to the outside of the housing 2 when a difference between a pressure inside the housing (2) and a pressure outside the housing (2) is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.
