A system includes a valve, handle, guide, arm, channel, and projection. The handle is proximate the valve and is configured to open and close the valve. The handle is in a first position when the valve is open and in a second position when the valve is closed. The guide is connected to the handle. The arm is connected to the guide. The channel is located on one of the guide or the arm, the channel having opposed first and second ends. The projection is located on the other of the guide or the arm, the projection configured to be received in the channel. Moving the projection past a location of the first end of the channel pulls the guide and the handle, thereby moving the handle from the first position to the second position. The projection can be moved toward the second end while the handle remains in the second position.

PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE
20190368624 · 2019-12-05 ·

A pressure release valve, having three or more cavities is described. The pressure release valve comprises a valve body with at least three valve cavities for fluid. The first valve cavity contains high-pressure fluid and the second cavity contains low-pressure fluid. The first, second, and third cavities are separate and apart from one another. The pressure release valve further includes a movable valve body shaft with a valve hammer and an elastic spring body. The pressure release valve further includes a channel and a valve port, wherein when pressure is applied to the movable valve body shaft, the movable valve body shaft is actuated to press against the valve hammer forcing the valve hammer to move opening the port allowing fluid to flow from the first cavity, to the second cavity and the third cavity.

A relief device in air pump includes a main body defining an interior space and a discharge passage fluidly communicating with the interior space. The discharge passage is selectively closed and opened by a valve device. The valve device is movable in the discharge passage. The valve device includes a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion selectively engaging with the discharge passage. The valve device is movable between a first position in which one of the first and the second sealing portions engages with the discharge passage and a second position in which the other of the first and the second sealing portion engages with the discharge passage. The discharge passage has a length measuring from the first end to the second end thereof, which is smaller than a length which measures a separation distance between the first and the second sealing portions.

Positive Pressure Relief Valve
20190309865 · 2019-10-10 ·

Disclosed herein is a positive pressure relief valve having a valve assembly, a trigger mechanism, an inlet manual override knob, and an outlet manual override knob. The valve assembly may comprises a valve throat and a main piston positioned at least partially within the valve throat, the main piston configured to selectively open and close the valve throat as a function of a pressure at the inlet to the valve assembly. The valve assembly may comprise a set of throat inserts within the valve throat. The trigger mechanism serves to quickly pressurize the main piston's diaphragm. The trigger mechanism may be positioned in a trigger mechanism housing at the outlet end of the valve assembly. The inlet and outlet manual override knob may be coupled to the main piston and configured to pull or push the main piston, thereby displacing the main piston to open the valve assembly.
