A vacuum storage bag assembly includes a zipper bag and a vacuum valve. An opening is formed on the zipper bag. The vacuum valve is connected to the zipper bag. The vacuum valve includes a valve seat, a filtrating component and a check valve. The valve seat is disposed on the zipper bag. The valve seat includes a connecting port and a communication channel communicated with the connecting port and with interior of the zipper bag via the opening, and the connecting port is configured to be connected to a vacuum source. The filtrating component is disposed on an upstream portion of the communication channel. The check valve is disposed on a downstream portion of the communication channel and allows fluid to flow from the interior of the zipper bag, through the filtrating component, and to flow out of the connecting port.

A valve includes a first plate, a side wall plate, a second plate, and a third plate. The first plate has a plurality of first vent holes. The second plate constitutes a valve chamber along with the first plate and the side wall plate. The second plate includes a second principal surface opposing a first principal surface of the first plate. The second plate has a plurality of second vent holes. The third plate has a plurality of third vent holes. The plurality of third vent holes overlaps with the plurality of first vent holes without overlapping with the plurality of second vent holes in a plan view in a direction in which the first plate and the second plate oppose each other. Both principal surfaces of the third plate oppose the first principal surface and the second principal surface. The third plate is disposed in the valve chamber.

A connector for transferring fluid, the connector may have a first port, a second port, and a third port which may be fluidly coupled together at an internal chamber with a first valve element therein controlling fluid flow through the second port. The connector can have ribs extending along the connector to provide a fluid path around the valve element and between the first port and the second port. The valve element can separate the internal chamber into an air chamber and a liquid chamber, and the third port can be continuously coupled to the liquid chamber regardless of a position of the valve element.

A check valve includes an upper housing defining an inlet of the check valve, a lower housing defining an outlet of the check valve, and a cavity interposed between and defined by the upper and lower housings for fluidly connecting the inlet and the outlet. The check valve further includes a valve member mounted in the cavity to selectively permit fluid flow in a first direction, and prevent fluid backflow in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The valve member includes a valve body and a valve stem portion extending axially through a central axis of the valve body. The valve member may further include a plurality of feet disposed about and extending longitudinally from an outer circumferential perimeter of the valve body.

A check valve of a vacuum booster device is provided with a main body assembled in a vacuum pressure inlet port, a first passage, an accommodating portion and a second passage, a valve seat formed in the first passage, a valve body accommodated in the accommodating portion, and a spring which urges the valve body toward the valve seat. The spring is configured to include an end coil portion which engages with a spring seat, an expanding and contracting coil portion which expands and contracts and is separated from a flange portion of the valve body, and a linking coil portion which is separated from the flange portion and the spring seat and links the end coil portion and the expanding and contracting coil portion.

A check valve structure includes: a valve casing communicating with each of inflow and outflow paths for a fluid; and a valve element which is disposed in the valve casing and configured of an elastic material. The valve element has a thin portion, and a thick portion protruding from the substantial center of one surface of the thin portion. The valve casing has: a valve element support portion including an annular bottom portion capable of supporting an outer edge of a bottom portion of the thick portion, and a peripheral wall portion continuing to an outer peripheral edge of the annular bottom portion; and a valve seat portion including a valve element contact portion which is in contact with a vicinity of an outer peripheral edge portion on the other surface side of the thin portion, and a valve seat surface which can be in contact with the thin portion.

A valve assembly including a fastener-less subcomponent. Installation of the subcomponent is simplified as compared to cover plates utilizing fasteners, while still providing suitable performance. In addition, the fastener-less subcomponent is not readily disassembled with common tools thereby discouraging tampering. The subcomponent includes bayonet style features for interlocking with structure of a valve housing to lock the subcomponent in position.

A check valve assembly is configured to couple to a first container that retains a first fluid and a second container that retains a second fluid. The check valve includes a fluid inlet housing including a first fluid inlet port defining a first fluid inlet channel, and a second fluid inlet port defining a second fluid inlet channel. A fluid outlet housing is coupled to the fluid inlet housing. The fluid outlet housing includes a fluid outlet port defining a fluid outlet channel. A first diaphragm is seated over the first fluid inlet channel. At least a portion of the first diaphragm is configured to unseat over the first fluid inlet channel to allow the first fluid to pass from the first fluid inlet channel into the fluid outlet channel. A second diaphragm is seated over the second fluid inlet channel. At least a portion of the second diaphragm is configured to unseat over the first fluid inlet channel to allow the second fluid to pass from the second fluid inlet channel into the fluid outlet channel.

A gas vent for a landfill includes a sub-surface gas collection manifold for collecting sub-surface gas from beneath a geomembrane. Preferably, the collection manifold includes a plenum for receiving sub-surface gas. A conduit is connected to and extends upwardly from the plenum, with the conduit communicating with the interior volume of the plenum and having an upper discharge end. The conduit is adapted and provided for communicating sub-surface gas from within the interior volume of the plenum through the geomembrane. An activated charcoal filter disposed adjacent the discharge outlet of the hood removes odors from the gas as it is discharged from the discharge outlet.

A connector for transferring fluid and method therefor. The connector may have a first port and a second port which may be coupled together at a main channel with a valve element therein controlling fluid flow through the first port. The first port joins the main channel to provide a fluid path around the valve element and through the second port.
