SEALING DIAPHRAGM AND CHECK VALVE HAVING A SEALING DIAPHRAGM FOR FLUID TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
The disclosure relates to a sealing diaphragm and a check valve comprising a sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications. A sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications is to be provided, which is economical and constructionally simple to produce, which can be used as a closing means for a check valve and with which unwanted interfering noise can be prevented during operation. The object of the disclosure is achieved by a sealing diaphragm with a flat, flexible sealing section, which can be bent or curved with a fluid pressure, wherein at least one resilient frictional tooth is provided on or next to the surface of the sealing section at a distance from an edge of the sealing section, designed and arranged in such a way that it forms an angle between 30° and 150° with the sealing section and it tilts together with the bending or curving movement of the flat sealing section, wherein the frictional tooth has a contact surface on a side orientated in the tilting direction. The object of the disclosure is also achieved by a check valve for fluid technology outlet openings, comprising a housing part having a fluid outlet, wherein an above-mentioned sealing diaphragm is arranged in the flow path of the outlet opening, which is in contact with a sealing surface of a seal seat with a sealing section against the direction of flow and which can be bent or curved with a fluid pressure in the flow direction, wherein the contact surface of the at least one frictional tooth is simultaneously in contact with a corresponding bearing surface.
Insertable bladder system for inflatable boat repair
A thin air bag/bladder, which when packaged and attached to an air valve system is inserted into an inflatable boat, or inflatable structure to repair a puncture or leak. This valve and adapter system is used to fasten and lock the valve structure in place during use. After attachment to the air valve system, the packaged bag is inserted into the inflatable structure with a collapsible tent pole/stick through the pre-existing valve opening with newly installed adapter. A valve system and bag/bladder will be needed for each separate air chamber of the boat design, whatever the length, diameter, or number of individual chambers. This will allow a replacement bag to be user retrofitted at any later time, whenever needed to repair a puncture or leakage, in any inflatable boat, life-raft or inflatable device.
VALVE
Provided is a valve, relating to the mechanical equipment technical field, comprising a valve body provided with a passage configured for allowing a fluid to pass through and a valve core disk provided within the passage and rotatable relative to the valve body. The valve core disk is provided with through holes and has one side face provided with a one-way diaphragm which is used for sealing the through holes in one direction to enable the valve core disk to seal the passage in one direction. Since the valve core disk can rotate relative to the valve body, one-way-inflation and -deflation can be realized, and during deflation, the passage can be opened for deflation just by rotating the valve core disk. Users can adjust a deflating speed by rotating the valve core disk. The valve not only has a simple structure, but also is convenient for the user to deflate.
One-way plug
A one-way plug includes a housing including a plate, an upper stopper having an overlap part extending downward from a side of the plate, and a lower body having a sealing surface part formed to extend in a cylindrical shape with a hollow downward from the plate, and a valve body provided in the hollow of the lower body and configured to cover the hollow, and having a wing part elastically deformed and configured to open the hollow.
Well plate assembly with pressure release mechanism
A well plate assembly with an interior channel system in the well plate lid provides a more efficient and uniform distribution of fluid into a receptacle positioned below the well plate lid. The channel system in the lid allows air, or other fluid, to pass through with the use of a pump to each of a plurality of channels in the receptacle. Inlet and outlet valves in the lid prevent a gasket positioned between the lid and the receptacle from releasing contact with the receptacle due to high pressure experienced during the injection of fluid into the assembly. Specifically, pressure under a specified tolerance passes through the inlet valves, and if the pressure within the channel system exceeds the limit of the outlet valve, the outlet valve opens and allows air to escape the lid safely without disturbing the fluid flow into the channels below.
Direct mount canister purge solenoid with additional vacuum ports
A valve assembly, such as a canister purge solenoid (CPS) having one or more interchangeable components which may be used to reconfigure the valve assembly to have one or more additional vacuum ports. The design of the valve assembly eliminates the need to mold these ports into the intake manifold, simplifying the design of the manifold, and the tooling needed to make the manifold. The direct mount design of the CPS of the present invention includes at least one additional port to serve as an additional vacuum port to be used for any other purpose, such as a PCV valve, brake booster, or the like.
SUBSTRATE CONTAINER VALVE ASSEMBLIES
A substrate container includes a container portion having an open side or bottom, and a door to sealingly close the open side or bottom, one of the door and the container portion defining access structure. The substrate container additionally includes a check-valve assembly, the check-valve assembly being retained with respect to the access structure to provide fluid communication with an interior of the substrate container. The check-valve assembly includes a grommet, the grommet being formed of an elastomeric material. A valve seat is disposed within the grommet, the valve seat being integrally formed with the grommet according to one aspect, and being formed of a separate piece according to another aspect. An elastomeric valve member, specifically an elastomeric umbrella valve member according to one aspect, is disposed within the grommet and held to engage the valve seat, thereby restricting fluid flow through the check-valve assembly with respect to the interior of the substrate container.
Switching valve
A switching valve having a valve seat with a longitudinal axis (L) and having a valve plate with a valve plate surface which can be placed into a pass-through position, in which the switching valve is open, and into a closed position, in which the switching valve is closed and the valve plate bears with the valve plate surface, in a contact region, against the valve seat, wherein the valve plate has a modulus of elasticity of at least 1000 N/mm.sup.2, which switching valve is characterized in that the valve plate, in the closed position, is deformed by a closing force acting thereon, in such a way that the contact region of the valve plate surface in the closed position forms an angle α, which differs from 0°, with the contact region of the valve plate surface in the pass-through position.
Check valve with secondary backflow seal
Check valve are disclosed having a primary seal and a secondary seal, where the primary and secondary seals resist movement of a fluid through the check valve, and the secondary seal can provide a backup seal in an instance where the check valve does not function as intended. The primary and secondary seals can be formed by first and second sealing ridges, respectively, and a valve body can be positioned within the check valve, between a valve support, the first sealing ridge, and a second sealing ridge. The valve body is configured to move relative to the first and second sealing ridges, and can have a position wherein a portion of the valve body is engaged against any of the first and second sealing ridges.
AIR BED HAVING AN IMPROVED BUILT-IN AIR PUMP
Disclosed herein is a valve assembly disposed on a top surface of an air mattress and connected to a built-in air pump. The built-in air pump can comprise: a tube-like construction defining an inner cavity between the top surface and the bottom surface; a compression spring located within the inner cavity and attached to the top surface and the bottom surface; a bellow connected to a side surface of the tube-like construction, the bellow providing an air pathway from the inner cavity to the interior volume of the air mattress; a top end cap attached to a top portion of the compression spring and abutting the top surface; and a bottom end cap attached to a bottom portion of the compression spring and abutting the bottom surface.
