    Abstract: An inflator valve connector includes a body, a guiding member and a lever. The body has a connecting end, an operating end and a guiding hole. The guiding member is rotatably and movably inserted through the guiding hole and is movable relative to the guiding hole between a first position and a second position. The guiding member has a pushing end, an inlet end and an air passage extending from the pushing end to the inlet end and communicating with the guiding hole. The lever is pivotally mounted to the operating end to selectively abut against the guiding member in a unlock position and a lock position, and the lever is configured to actuate the guiding member to move relative to the guiding hole.

    Abstract: A fluid control valve includes: a sleeve in a bottomed cylindrical shape, including an inlet, communication ports, an inner peripheral surface, and an inflow annular groove recessed from the inner peripheral surface in a region facing the inlet; a spool slidably disposed on the inner peripheral surface in the sleeve to open and close the communication ports; a C-shaped leaf spring formed by bending a leaf spring into an annular shape with two ends facing each other to form a notch and disposed in the inflow annular groove capable of being contracted in diameter to open and close the inlet; and a restricting part provided on the sleeve for restricting diameter contraction of the C-shaped leaf spring beyond a predetermined inner diameter and for restricting a position of the notch in a region away from the inlet.

    Abstract: A cap assembly includes two caps each pivotable about an axis of a respective pivot rod between an open position and a closed position, the two pivot rods arranged adjacent each other with parallel pivot axes (B) to define a hinge region, each cap having a pivot end extending into the hinge region between the two pivot rods; and a common pivot mechanism arranged to push against the pivot ends, in response to actuation of the pivot mechanism, to pivot the caps substantially simultaneously to the closed position, the common pivot mechanism comprising: a lever; a cam in connection with the lever and located in the hinge region such that actuation of the lever causes movement of the cam in the hinge region along the direction of the pivot axes; a plunger located in the hinge region between the cam and the pivot ends.

    Abstract: An air valve structure arranged on a base comprises an air plug and a state-switching component. The air plug is arranged in an air chamber in an axial direction. The air plug includes a closing state to close the air hole, and an opening state to open the air hole. The state-switching component comprises a driving member that links the air plug, a shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire connected with the driving member, and at least one conductive member connected with the SMA wire. The driving member exerts an acting force to the air plug based on a condition of electricity provided by the conductive member for the SMA wire. The direction of the acting force is non-parallel with the axial direction and the air plug is moved and changed between the closing state and the opening state by the acting force.

    Abstract: Foot support systems include a fluid flow control system that facilitates movement of fluid into, out of, and/or within a sole structure and/or article of footwear, e.g., to change and/or control pressure in fluid filled bladder(s). The fluid flow control system includes: (a) a manifold body defining an internal chamber; (b) at least a first port in fluid communication with the internal chamber; (c) at least a first valve (including a first valve activator) controlling fluid flow through the first port; and (d) a movable cam at least partially within the internal chamber. Valve activator surface(s) on the cam interact with the valve activator(s) to selectively open and close valve(s) based on cam positioning.
