An apparatus for locking the position of the rotary valve, wherein the valve has a valve shaft adapted to have first and second opposed flatted formations. The apparatus includes first and second cam followers. The cam followers are reciprocally movable via the action of a cam assembly comprising first and second cams mounted on a rotatable cam stem. The cam followers can be simultaneously moved in opposite directions whereby engagement walls in the first and second cam followers can engage the first and second opposed flatted formations simultaneously.

A system includes an actuator housing having a plurality of adapter lugs extending radially inward toward an axis, each adapter lug of the plurality of adapter lugs secured to the housing via a respective connector. The system also includes a bonnet having a plurality of bonnet lugs extending radially outward away from the axis, each bonnet lug of the plurality of bonnet lugs being separated by a respective space, the space being sized to permit axial movement of an adapter lug of the plurality of adapter lugs toward a lower flange arranged axially lower than the plurality of bonnet lugs.

A combined dirt collector and cutout cock (CDC & COC) device for a rail car control to prevent unintentional re-pressurization of the control valve and rail car braking system. The device has an inlet configured for interconnection to an air supply, an outlet configured for interconnection to a control valve of a rail car, a valve moveable between a first position where an inlet is connected to an outlet and a second position where the inlet is isolated from the outlet, and a control valve vent positioned downstream of the valve and configured to open in response to the valve being moved into the second position. The valve may include a ball having a first passageway for selectively connecting and disconnecting the inlet from the outlet and a second passageway formed therethrough that is positioned to interconnect the outlet with the vent when the valve is in the second position.

An electro-pneumatic controller for use with a regulator. The electro-pneumatic controller includes a base having a body, a top surface, and a bore formed within the body. A locking mechanism is disposed within the bore of the body of the base, the locking mechanism having a top surface flush with the top surface of the base. A cover is coupled to the base and includes an open end with a rim, the rim contacting the top surface of the base and a portion of the top surface of the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is rotated via a tool in a counter-clockwise direction after the cover contacts a portion of the top surface of the locking mechanism to lock the cover to the base.

A pressure control apparatus includes a main line section and a branch line operably joined to and extending from the main line section. A housing around the branch line has a first wall and a second wall opposed to the first wall, and a first opening is in the first wall. A plug is operably positioned in the branch line, and the plug has a first position that prevents fluid flow through the branch line and a second position that permits fluid flow through the branch line. A loop extends from the plug, and a lever pivotally connected to the second wall and extending through the loop and the first opening in the first wall positions the plug to the first and second positions.

A gas fixture safety cover comprising: a first wall; a second wall attached to the first wall, the second wall is generally perpendicular to the first wall; a third wall attached to the second wall and generally perpendicular to the second wall; a fourth wall attached to the third wall and first wall, the fourth wall generally perpendicular to the third wall and first wall; a first nozzle vertical slot in the first wall and extending to the bottom of the first wall; a second nozzle vertical slot in the second wall and extending to the bottom of the second wall and where the height of the first handle vertical slot is higher than the height of the first nozzle vertical slot; where when the gas fixture safety cover can only slide down over a two nozzle and two handle gas fixture when the two handles are both turned off; where when the gas fixture safety cover has slid onto a gas fixture when the gas valve handle is turned off, the gas fixture safety cover abuts a counter top, and where when the gas fixture safety cover has slid onto a gas fixture when the gas valve handle is turned on, the gas fixture safety cover does not abut a counter top.

A securing apparatus for securing a valve lever in a set position comprises a base body; a sliding piece; and a screw element, wherein the base body and the sliding piece each have a clamping surface; wherein the sliding piece is displaceably supported at the base body along a longitudinal axis; and wherein the screw element is rotatably supported at the base body and has a thread that is in engagement with a mating thread of the sliding piece so that a position of the sliding piece relative to the base body along the longitudinal axis is restricted to a maximum spacing between the clamping surfaces that can be changed by a rotation of the screw element in order to clamp the valve lever between the clamping surfaces. Depending on a rotational position of the screw element, a blocking receiver formed at the screw element is aligned with a blocking receiver formed at the base body so that a blocking element, in particular a cable, can engage into both blocking receivers in order to block the screw element in this rotational position.

An opening tool for a locking cap of a fire hydrant includes a collar with multiple protrusions that can attach to corresponding protrusions provided on an outer surface of the locking cap. The opening tool also includes a main support portion coupled to the collar, a guide supported by the main support portion, the guide including a shaft support, a pin moveably disposed within the guide and a cam lever rotatably coupled to the guide by a shaft. The shaft extending through the cam lever. The shaft being supported by a shaft support. The cam lever including a cam surface in contact with a first end of the pin. The cam surface including a first flat surface, a second flat surface and a curved surface that extends between the first flat surface and the second flat surface.

A valve with a locking mechanism and an integrated valve are provided. The valve includes a handle body having a knob, the handle body being disposed rotatably on top of a valve body housing a valve shaft for opening and closing a valve piece. A cutout stepped face is formed on a part of the outer periphery of the valve body located under the handle body. A locking plate having a locking hole is placed rotatably in the cutout stepped face via a pivotally attaching portion, and when the locking plate is rotated to either a position at which the valve body is in a full-close state or a position at which the valve body is in a full-open state, the locking hole is faced the upper surface area of the valve body to allow locking.
