Abstract:
A tap (1) is disclosed for delivering liquids, particularly for delivering high- and medium-density liquids from rigid vessels, comprising: a body (3); stem means (9); and elastic actuating means (11) of the stem means (9); air inlet/outlet means (13, 25, 28) in the body (3) and inside the vessel; valve means (7) for passing air; non-return valve means (26) placed between the air inlet and outlet means (13, 25, 28) and the vessel interior and adapted to be guided and driven by the pressure difference between outside the tap (1) and inside the vessel; anti-counterfeiting and protecting means (A); supporting means (E); and an integrated glass (D).
Abstract:
A high-flow, pneumatically-controlled hot melt adhesive applicator valve assembly comprises a housing which includes a lower module body within which a die orifice is defined. A ball valve member is operatively associated with the die orifice, and a hot melt adhesive charge passageway is provided within the module body so as to fluidically conduct the hot melt adhesive to the die orifice. A middle-air cylinder is disposed atop the module body and defines a first cylinder chamber therein, and an upper-air cylinder is disposed atop the middle-air cylinder and defines a second cylinder chamber therein. The valve member is fixedly mounted upon the lower end of a piston rod, and first and second pistons are fixedly mounted upon axially central and upper end portions of the piston rod so as to define with the piston rod and the first and second cylinder chambers a dual-piston multiplier assembly. OPEN and CLOSE air passageways are fludically connected to the cylinder chambers so as to actuate the dual-piston multiplier assembly vertically upwardly or downwardly so as to move the valve member accordingly. The middle-air cylinder includes an internal OPEN air passageway such that OPEN air is simultaneously fludically connected to the first and second cylinder chambers so as to simultaneously actuate the first and second pistons of the dual-piston multiplier assembly.
Abstract:
A liquid fuel filler cap provided with a valve assembly in a channel extending through said cap said valve assembly comprising means defining at least part of a channel, a valve seat in said channel, a valve member adapted to co-operate with said valve seat to seal said channel, and means to bias said valve member into engagement with said seat, said biasing means comprising a pivoted member comprising a first portion which is adapted to move said valve member, and a second portion, and means for engaging with said second portion and for imparting a turning moment to said pivoted member which is greater than and in the opposite sense to the turning moment imparted to the pivoted member by said valve member alone when the valve member moves away from the valve seat, said first portion and said second portion being on opposite sides of the point of pivotal support of said pivoted member.
Abstract:
A ball for use within a ball valve includes an outer wall, an inner wall that defines a central bore, and a lattice structure positioned within an interior space defined between the outer wall and the inner wall. The ball may include one or more flow conditioners positioned within the central bore. The ball may be formed via an additive manufacturing process.
Abstract:
A piston cartridge having a piston chamber, an inlet port, an outlet port, and a piston moveable between a first position and a second position. Also, the cartridge includes a first barrier positioned between the piston and the inlet port and a first sealing member moveable between the first barrier and the inlet port, wherein the first sealing member seals the inlet port when positioned adjacent to the inlet port but allows the fluid into the chamber when positioned adjacent to the first barrier. In addition, the cartridge also includes a second barrier positioned adjacent to the outlet port and a second sealing member moveable between the piston and the second barrier, wherein the second sealing member seals the outlet port when positioned adjacent thereto but allows the fluid to pass through the outlet port when positioned adjacent to the second barrier.
Abstract:
Pressure actuated oil jets have long been used to cool the underside of the pistons in such reciprocating engines. The present disclosure is a fluid jet for providing fluid under pressure to a desired location. The fluid jet comprises a valve body, at least one fluid passage extending longitudinally within at least a portion of the valve body, a fluid pressure actuated valve element located within the valve body and moveable longitudinally therein between a valve open position and a valve closed position, and a sleeve extending inwardly within said valve body, wherein said valve element is retained within said sleeve when oil pressure drops below a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
An annular member to be fitted around a small-diameter pipe has drawing means and pressing members. The drawing means connect the annular member to a large-diameter pipe, and the pressing members to the small-diameter pipe to thereby connect the small-diameter pipe and the large-diameter pipe together.
