20150219232 | MEMBRANE STYLE EXCESS FLOW VALVE - An assembly for limiting excess flow includes a housing having an internal bore defined by a first diameter, a seat held fixed within the internal bore, and a diaphragm defined by a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. The seat provides a sealing surface and the diaphragm is coupled to the seat by at least one leg. The diaphragm is spaced apart from the sealing surface during normal flow conditions and is in engagement with the sealing surface when a predetermined flow condition is exceeded. | 08-06-2015 |
20140124066 | FLOW VALVE - A flow valve that may act as either an excess flow valve or a pressure relief valve has a seat and a valve body for sealing against the seat. The valve body has an integral spring arm for biasing the valve body towards or away from the seat to seal or open a flow of fluid, and a magnet cooperating with the spring arm to position the body relative to the seat to maintain the body in a first position during a normal flow condition and maintain the body in a second position in an abnormal flow condition. | 05-08-2014 |
20140097374 | EXCESS FLOW VALVE WITH FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGM MEMBER - An assembly for limiting excess flow includes a seat and a disc. The seat has an inner ring, an outer ring having a top surface tapering in a downstream direction from outer ring towards the inner ring, and a plurality of legs attaching the inner ring to the outer ring. The disc attaches to the inner ring and extends radially outwardly therefrom. The disk has an axially downstream surface that flexes into contact with the outer ring if the flow exceeds a limit around the disc, and a shoulder spacing the axially downstream surface from the inner ring to space the disc axially from the outer ring. | 04-10-2014 |
20140096829 | FLUID CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRATED EXCESS FLOW VALVE - A connector for fluids has a pipe through which the fluid flows. The pipe has a diameter, an inlet end, an outlet end, an expanded area relative to the diameter. The connector also has an excess flow cartridge disposed in the pipe, the excess flow cartridge having a housing for receipt within the diameter, the excess flow cartridge minimizing flow in the pipe if flow exceeds a desired limit, and the excess flow cartridge having a radial opening in a side thereof in register with the expanded area such that flow through the opening flows through the cartridge. | 04-10-2014 |
20140033419 | PLUNGER - A plunger is provided with a flange having a length, a width and a thickness. The length is greater than the width to cover an elongated toilet trapway. A peripheral seal extends away from the flange to seal with the elongated toilet trapway. A plunger adapter is provided with a flange having a length, a width and a thickness. The length is greater than the width to cover an elongated toilet trapway. A peripheral seal extends away from the flange to seal with an elongated toilet trapway. A cylindrical receptacle is formed into the flange and spaced apart from the seal for cooperation with a radially symmetrical plunger. | 02-06-2014 |
20090079187 | FLUIDIC COUPLING WITH DEFORMABLE QUICK CONNECTOR - A quick connector body includes a bore fluidically coupled to a bore extending from an open end of an endform when the body is mounted on the endform. Cooperating, initially spaced, latch members and latch engagement members are unitarily carried on the connector body. A collapsible portion is formed on the body between the latch members and the latch engagement members for radial inward protrusion into an annular groove in the endform substantially concurrent with engagement of the latch members and the latch engagement members to fixedly couple the connector on the endform. In one aspect a second end of the connector body is closed to form the connector body as a test cap. In another aspect, a second end of the connector body is open to establish a fluid flow path from the endform to a fluid component coupled to the second end of the connector body. | 03-26-2009 |
