Abstract: An automatically-locking bypass valve (10) of the type including a valve body (12), an inner member (11) in sliding engagement with the valve body (12) and having a bypass opening (48), the valve body (12) and inner member (11) having first and second vacuum-reactive surfaces (18a and 18b respectively), and a spring (60) between the valve body (12) and the inner member (11) against which the vacuum-reactive surfaces (18a and 18b respectively) move axially relative to each other. The valve body (12) has a guide (26) and the inner member (11) has a guide-follower (50) which is (a) slidably engaged with the guide (26) in one rotational alignment with the valve body (12) in a normal operating range of relative axial positions of the valve body (12) and inner member (11) and (b) out of sliding engagement with the guide (26) beyond such normal operating range. The spring (60) is in rotational tension such that it rotates the valve body (12) into a locked bypass position with respect to the inner member (11) when the guide (26) and guide-follower (50) are out of sliding engagement.

Abstract translation: 一种自动锁定旁通阀（10），其包括阀体（12），与阀体（12）滑动接合并具有旁通开口（48）的内部构件（11），阀体（12） ）和具有第一和第二真空反应表面（分别为18a和18b）的内部构件（11）和在阀体（12）和内部构件（11）之间的弹簧（60），真空反应表面 18a和18b）相对于彼此轴向移动。 所述阀体（12）具有引导件（26），并且所述内部构件（11）具有引导从动件（50），所述引导件从动件（50）与所述阀体（12）以一个旋转对准的方式与所述引导件（26） ）在阀体（12）和内部构件（11）的相对轴向位置的正常操作范围内，和（b）超出该正常操作范围与导向件26的滑动接合。 弹簧（60）处于旋转张力，使得当引导件（26）和引导件从动件（50）不滑动时，其将阀体（12）相对于内部构件（11）旋转到锁定旁路位置 订婚。

Abstract: An improved skirt for use with an automatic or robotic pool cleaner head comprising at least one or a row of double-hinged flaps, each of the flaps comprising a receiving member affixed to the pool cleaner head, an upper articulating member pivotally coupled to the receiving member, and a lower articulating member pivotally coupled to the upper articulating member. The pivotally connected members form upper and lower hinges which allow free radial movement upward to, but not beyond, the bottom surface of the pool cleaning head, and further allow the cleaning head to navigate uneven surfaces or pieces of debris while maintaining effective suction.
