Fluid flow control device
A device (1) for controlling the flow of fluid through a conduit from an upstream side (3) to a downstream side (5). The device includes a housing (4) with a wall (6) having valve apertures (8) through which the flow of fluid is selectively controlled. A valve member (10) is mounted on one side of the wall of the housing and is arranged to move reciprocally to selectively open and close the valve apertures. A removable insert (12) is mounted on the opposite side of the wall of the housing from the valve member. The removable insert is arranged to cover some of the valve apertures.
Detecting and signaling system
Described is a system for remotely detecting and signalling the open and/or closed state of the shutter (O) of an element (3) for controlling the flow of gas along a gas distribution line (2), comprising an electric switch (17; 18) configured to generate an electrical signal representing at least one of the open and closed states.
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.
COAXIAL VALVES
A valve can include a body having an inlet and an outlet coaxial about an axis, a stationary valve seat between the inlet and the outlet, one or more valve members slideably coupled to the valve body and adapted to optionally couple with the valve seat, one or more biasing devices adapted to bias the valve member(s) in one or more longitudinal directions, and one or more actuators adapted to optionally move the valve member(s) into and/or out of sealing engagement with the valve seat. An actuator assembly can include one or more of an electrohydraulic actuator and an electromechanical actuator, among others.
Pressure regulating shut-off valve
There is provided a pressure regulating shut-off valve comprising a valve body, at least one piston serving as a regulating piston and/or a shut-off piston, a solenoid valve, and a pressure relief valve; wherein the valve body defines an inlet and an outlet, and comprises at least a portion formed by an additive manufacturing process.
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.
DRINKING BOTTLE AND VALVE THEREFOR
A drinking bottle includes a first bottle part (10) having an interior (100) for receiving a beverage (G) and a second bottle part (11) having an interior (110) for receiving the beverage (G) and having a bottle opening (13) for dispensing the beverage (G) from the interior (110), wherein the interiors (100, 110) of the two bottle parts (10, 11) are or can be brought into fluid communication with each other. The drinking bottle (1A-1D) has at least one configuration in which the two bottle parts (10, 11) are inclined to each other. The invention also relates to a valve for a drinking bottle. In this way, a drinking bottle can be provided which allows a user to drink in a particularly comfortable position.
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.
Fuel tank vent and shutoff valve
A non-pressure valve is provided, and includes a tubular housing having an inlet and an outlet. The tubular housing forms a fluid flow path. The non-pressure valve also includes a sliding sleeve coupled with the outlet, a spring disposed between the sliding sleeve and the tubular housing, and a flow-through mount disposed within the tubular housing adjacent the sliding sleeve. The flow-through mount is coupled with a bulb. The bulb is configured to engage the sliding sleeve and impede the flow of fuel. The non-pressure valve also includes a hose fluidly coupling the non-pressure valve with a remote fuel vent. The flow-through mount may include a plurality of bypass openings positioned in the fluid flow path and configured to divert a portion of the fuel flow through a hose to the remote fuel vent.
REGULATOR
A regulator may include a body part, a passage having a tubular shape and penetrating the body part, the passage including a first opening end serving as an introduction port for a high-pressure fluid and a second opening end serving as an outlet port for a decompressed fluid. The regulator may also include a valve seat unit including a valve seat on an inner side and a valve seat holding member including a through hole extending in an axial direction of the passage, a pressure regulating chamber disposed on an inner side of the introduction port in the passage through the valve seat unit, and a piston pressure regulating valve slidably biased in the axial direction of the passage between the pressure regulating chamber and the outlet port in the passage. The piston pressure regulating valve may include a pressure regulating valve element including a tip face capable of making intimate contact with the valve seat and a tubular communication passage with both ends open, and a piston part surrounding an outer periphery of the pressure regulating valve element on the outlet port side in the passage. The high-pressure fluid introduced through the introduction port may be introduced into the valve seat and the pressure regulating chamber facing the valve seat through the through hole formed on the valve seat holding member of the valve seat unit and taken out as the decompressed fluid from the outlet port through the communication passage of the pressure regulating valve element. The valve seat holding member may include a holding part that is a groove or a hole, the holding part including an opening exposed on the pressure regulating chamber side and an inner peripheral face having a larger diameter than the opening, the inner peripheral face being formed on at least a part of the holding part. The valve seat may include a locking body fitted into the holding part, and a valve seat main body joined and disposed along a side face of the valve seat holding member, the side face being located on the pressure regulating chamber side, and brought into intimate contact with the pressure regulating valve element, the locking body and the valve seat main body may be integrally formed, and the valve seat may be insert-molded into the valve seat holding member.
