Delaminatable container

A delaminatable container can promptly introduce the external air into the space between the outer shell and the inner bag after discharging the contents. A delaminatable container includes a container body having an outer shell and an inner bag, the inner bag shrinking as contents decrease; and a valve member to adjust charging/discharging of air between an intermediate space and an external space S of the container body, the intermediate space located between the outer shell and the inner bag. The container body includes a storage portion to store the contents; and a mouth to discharge the contents from the storage portion; the storage portion includes a pillar body; and a shoulder connecting the body and the mouth; the shoulder is provided with a valve housing recess to house the valve member.

Valve body device for fuel tank
10737570 · 2020-08-11 ·

When a fuel tank inclines, a valve body device for the fuel tank restricts the flow of fuel to the exterior of the fuel tank, thereby preventing environmental pollution and improving fuel consumption. A rise/fall member and a valve body are lowered by an urge force less than a combined weight of the valve body and the rise/fall member, thereby creating an opening in a valve portion. A coil spring expands and the valve body contacts convex portions on a first inner surface of a cylinder main body. After a pressure reduction at a communication port of a resistance member, the fuel flows from a small-diameter space of a blow-up member, so that the flowing fuel pushes up the valve body and the rise/fall member closes the valve portion together with the urge force of the coil spring.

Filler cap for fuel tank
10723221 · 2020-07-28 ·

A filler cap for a fuel tank is disclosed and is configured to prevent environmental pollution and improve fuel consumption without discharging fuel or harmful gas to an exterior of the fuel tank. A rise/fall member and a valve body are lowered by an urge force that is less than a total weight of the valve body and the rise/fall member, thereby opening a valve portion. When the fuel tank inclines, a coil spring expands and the valve body contacts with convex portions on an inner surface of a cylinder main body. After a pressure reduces at a communication port of a resistance member, the fuel flows from a small diameter space of a blow-up member. The flowing fuel pushes up the valve body and the rise/fall member thereby closing the valve portion together with the urge force of the coil spring.

Apparatus to protect sealing surfaces of thief hatches

Apparatus to protect sealing surfaces of thief hatches are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first portion that is attachable to a tank, wherein the first portion includes a first opening, and a second portion that is pivotably coupled to the first portion. The example apparatus is structured to provide access to an aperture in the tank via the first opening when the second portion is in an open state and maintain a pressure of the tank within a specified range by selectively separating one or more seals from one or more corresponding sealing surfaces when the second portion is in a closed state, wherein the second portion includes the one or more seals and the one or more corresponding sealing surfaces.

Combination air release, degassing and vacuum relief valve
10683946 · 2020-06-16 · ·

A valve for removing gases during the startup of liquid handling facilities and/or the filling of liquid storage facilities includes a housing and internal parts which include a highly buoyant float, a pivotal linkage member, a valve guiding member, and a poppet valve. The poppet valve includes a passage there through that allows for degassing of the liquid handling facility or liquid storage facility. The valve also provides for degassing of such facilities when gases build up therein, and provides for vacuum relief when an internal vacuum is produced in such facilities due to removal of liquid.
