The vent valve defines a chamber between the rim portion, the body portion and the vent plate. A venting channel fluidly connects the chamber of the vent valve and the compartment of the constant velocity joint. The vent plate defines the at least one venting channel.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE ASSEMBLY
20190360602 · 2019-11-28 ·

A pressure relief valve assembly includes a carrier, a valve, and a baffle. The carrier includes a first end and a second end. The first end defines a first opening. The second end defines a second opening. The carrier defines a flow passage extending from the first opening to the second opening. The valve is supported by the carrier and is operable in an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the valve permits a flow of fluid through the first opening. In the closed position, the valve inhibits the flow of fluid through the first opening. The baffle is disposed in the flow passage. The baffle and the carrier collectively define a flowpath extending through the flow passage.

Waterless trap

A waterless trap for use in a drain assembly includes flow enhancing features to promote the vortex water flow of water received in the trap, an improved sealing arrangement to enhance the seal between a seal member and the housing to inhibit sewer gas leaks from an attached drain pipe by maintaining an evaporation barrier that assists in retaining water in a corresponding p-trap, and a plurality of air passages can allow the trap seal to open with ease when the drain pipe is pressurized. These features may be used in combination with one another or may be independently employed.

AIR VENT SYSTEM FOR CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINTS
20180347638 · 2018-12-06 · ·

An air venting system for a constant velocity joint (20) having an inner race (24), an outer race (22), a cage (26), a plurality of torque transferring elements (28), a drive sleeve, a drive nut and a boot assembly. The outer race has a wall portion (90) having a vent hole (88, 242) with a first and a second axially extending channel (224, 264). A radially extending wall integrally connects the second axially extending channel to the first axially extending channel. A valve (256) having a stopper portion (264), a disk portion (258) and a breather portion (260) is at least partially located within the vent hole. The breather portion (260) further includes an axially extending ring (292) that terminates in a radially extending wall.

Thermostatic valve having anti-siphon feature

A thermostatic valve, which includes a main body portion, a cavity formed as part of a main body portion, and an inner wall integrally formed with the main body portion adjacent the cavity. A circumferential flange is integrally formed with the inner wall, such that the circumferential flange surrounds a valve cavity. A valve member is attached to the inner wall disposed in the valve cavity, and a flow aperture is formed as part of the inner wall. Fluid flows through the flow aperture into the valve cavity, and when the pressure in the valve cavity is above a predetermined value, the valve member contacts the inner wall, preventing fluid from flowing through the flow aperture.
