The stem includes a head, a tail, and a shaft extending between the head and the tail. The dynamic portion is disposed around the stem. The dynamic portion is longitudinally movable along the stem between a closed position and an opened position. The dynamic portion includes a neck and a body extending longitudinally from the neck, the neck to seal around the head in the closed position and fluidly open in the opened position, the body to slidably fluidly seal against a housing between opened and closed positions. A liquid ink pathway and an air pathway are formed between the static portion and the dynamic portion.

Fixed cone valve with dual seating system

Example aspects of a dual seating system, a fixed cone valve, and a method for using a dual seating system are disclosed. The dual seating system can comprise a gate comprising a gate metal seat; and a cone seat assembly comprising a cone metal seat and a cone rubber seat; wherein the gate metal seat is configured to seat with the cone metal seat to define a metal-to-metal seating and the gate metal seat is configured to seat with the cone rubber seat to define a metal-to-rubber seating.

Pressure reducing and relief valve
11126209 · 2021-09-21 · ·

A pressure regulating and pressure relief valve, has a valve body defining an inlet port, outlet port, valve seat and pressure relief opening. A pressure regulating plug is displaced during a first portion of a motion from an open position, which provides a continuous flow path from the inlet port to the outlet port, to a closed position in which the plug is closed against the valve seat to obstruct the continuous flow path. A spring biases the plug to the open position. An actuation surface is exposed to a pressure at the outlet port that displaces the plug against the spring bias toward the closed position. Further displacement of the plug beyond the closed position during a second portion of the motion that is beyond a range of the first portion of the motion, opens a relief flow path from the outlet port through the pressure release opening.

Solenoid valve

A solenoid valve has a spool is moved via a rod. A breathing hole penetrates a sleeve in a radial direction and allows an inner space of a housing part to communicate with the outside when at least a circular columnar plunger is in a predetermined region provided on a solenoid case side of the sleeve. A through-hole is formed in an axial direction at the center axis of the circular columnar plunger. The rod is configured such that an opposing groove portion passes through the center of the circular columnar plunger in the radial direction and penetrates both radial sides provided with cutout portions of the rod formed at an opposing end portion facing a circular columnar plunger side and an inner surface of the opposing groove portion formed in a symmetrical arc shape as viewed in the radial direction.

BELLOWS-ENABLED BLEED VALVE

A bleed valve for use in a gas turbine engine of an aircraft includes a high-pressure cavity coupled to a valve terminal, which is itself coupled to a cap, which cap includes a valve seat configured to be sealed by a tube that serves as the valve gate. The tube is operably coupled to a movable end of a bellows, which is positioned within the high-pressure cavity. The opening and closing of the valve is controlled by the movement of the bellows within the high-pressure cavity, and, in turn, the movement of the tube towards the valve seat, with the valve closing as the bellows compresses.

Electromechanically operated downhole valve actuator

A valve arranged to close a flow path extending through it, on the loss of an electrical voltage supplied to a driving motor of an actuation element, the driving motor, which comprises a stator and a rotor, being arranged to, via transmission elements, displace the actuation element between at least a first position, in which the actuation element is arranged at a distance from a spring-loaded, rotatable valve element, and a second position, in which the actuation element holds the spring-loaded, rotatable valve element in an open position, the rotor of the driving motor surrounding and being connected to a roller nut which is provided with a number of supported thread rollers which are distributed around and are threadedly engaged with the actuation element, the actuation element being a flow pipe which forms a flow path and is axially displaceable away from its second position by means of an actuator spring.

INDICATOR ASSEMBLY
20210123542 · 2021-04-29 ·

A regulator includes a valve body and a control element movable between a closed position, in which the control element engages a valve seat, and an open position, in which the control element is spaced away from the valve seat. A stem is operatively coupled to the control element and is axially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the valve body. An indicator assembly is at least partially disposed in the valve body and is operatively coupled to the stem. The indicator assembly includes a rod operatively coupled to the stem and an indicator operatively coupled to the rod. The indicator is arranged to display a position of the control element. The rod of the indicator assembly is movable by the stem between a first position when the control element is in the closed position, and a second position when the control element is in the open position.

Top entry axial flow regulator

A valve seat assembly for use in a fluid control valve. The valve seat assembly includes a pad holder and a support ring. The pad holder includes a support body configured to support a seat pad and a plurality of alignment struts projecting radially outwardly from the support body. The support ring extends around the radially outer perimeter of the alignment struts. The pad holder slides into and out of an operative position in the support ring.

Concealed three port flushometer system

A flushometer system having an integrated control stop and three ports. The piston or flush control device is accessible through an actuation opening. The flushometer system may be utilized in a behind-the-wall installation with a face plate exterior for user interaction. The interior of the flushometer may be accessed through the actuation opening behind the face plate.
