ROLLOVER VENT VALVE ASSEMBLY
20240159324 · 2024-05-16 ·

A valve assembly includes a body engageable with a container, an internal cavity, and a vent outlet. A wall divides the internal cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber being between the bottom end of the body and the wall, and the second chamber being between the top end of the body and the wall, in communication with the vent outlet. An umbrella valve is coupled to the wall and has a central passage and an umbrella portion. The umbrella portion is positioned within the second chamber and is configured to engage a top side of the wall. The umbrella portion is configured to deform away from the top side of the wall to vent a gas along a first pathway from the first chamber to the vent outlet in response to pressure within the first chamber exceeding a cracking pressure of the umbrella valve.

VALVE ASSEMBLY

A valve assembly includes a valve body and a seat defining an outlet. The valve assembly also includes a float disposed inside the valve body and is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the valve body. The valve assembly further includes a support coupled to the float and is movable with the float between the first and second positions. The valve assembly also includes a sealing member attached to the support and has an engagement portion spaced from the seat when the float is in the first position and engaging the seat when the float is in the second position.

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
20190101085 · 2019-04-04 ·

A fuel pressure regulator includes a housing having a housing bore and a housing inlet; a piston located within the housing bore such that the piston and the housing bore define an accumulation chamber and such that the piston moves between a first piston position where the accumulation chamber is minimized in volume and a second piston position where the accumulation chamber is maximized in volume, the piston having a piston bore with a piston inlet and a piston outlet and a valve seat defined therebetween; a piston spring which biases the piston toward the first piston position; a valve closure which moves between a seated position which prevents fluid communication from the piston inlet to the piston outlet and an unseated position which provides fluid communication from the piston inlet to the piston outlet; and a valve closure spring which biases the valve closure toward the seated position.

Vent valve

The invention relates to a vent valve (1) for controlling the internal tank pressure of a fuel tank, having at least one valve housing (2) having at least one first connection (3) to the fuel tank and at least one second connection (4), which can be connected to a vent line leading to a fuel vapor filter. The vent valve (1) comprises at least one valve element, which is held in a valve seat (8) in a position in which it closes the first connection (3) by the force of gravity and/or by spring loading and, after a given pressure threshold is exceeded, is raised from the valve seat (8) and, when a given pressure threshold is undershot, returns to the initial position. The valve element and/or the valve element guide has/have at least one relief opening (10), which forms a bypass for a gap flow which arises, for example, during a return movement of the valve element.

VENT CONTROL VALVE FOR FUEL TANK
20180313461 · 2018-11-01 ·

A vent control valve for a fuel tank controls a ventilation between a fuel tank and an outside, and includes: an annular valve seat defined in a case; a movable valve object which is movable relative to the valve seat; a seal component having an annular plate shape and held by the movable valve object to be seated on or separated from the valve seat to open and close a passage for ventilation; and an annular ridge part defined in the movable valve object or the seal component such that the movable valve object and the seal component are in contact with each other on an annular seal line.

Venting valve

A ventilation valve and a tank device that includes such a ventilation valve, which fulfills both a roll-over function and an overflow protection function.

Four-wheel vehicle
10023047 · 2018-07-17 · ·

A four-wheel vehicle includes an engine at least a portion of which is located farther forward than a seat, a fuel tank located above the engine and forwardly of the seat, a fuel filler including a fuel filler neck and a filler cap, a breather channel connected to the fuel filler, and an outflow prevention valve in the breather channel to prevent outflow of liquid fuel. The outflow prevention valve is located higher in a side view of the vehicle body than both of a lower end of the fuel tank and an upper end of the engine.

Breather check valve
09939073 · 2018-04-10 · ·

A vent apparatus is described for providing filtered air intake and rollover protection for a fuel tank. The apparatus may include a housing configured to be coupled with the fuel tank, the housing including at least one air intake port and at least one air exhaust port. The apparatus may include an air intake filter disposed within the housing and configured to receive and filter air from the at least one air intake port. The apparatus may include a rollover protection valve disposed adjacent to the housing and configured to be located inside the fuel tank when the housing is coupled with the fuel tank, the rollover protection valve coupled with the at least one air exhaust port. The rollover protection valve may include a chamber and a plug configured to impede the flow of fuel from the fuel tank into the at least one air exhaust port.

Tank Enclosure with Fan
