| 20130032221 | THERMAL PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICE - A thermal pressure relief device (TPRD) including a housing having a movable member and a retainer disposed therein. The movable member is movable between an open position and a closed position. A trigger mechanism is disposed between the movable member and the retainer. The trigger mechanism holds the movable member in the closed position and includes a substantially spherical shaped body and a temperature sensitive material disposed in the body. The temperature sensitive material volumetrically expands with an increase in temperature until a predetermined temperature is attained and a breakage of the body occurs. When the body of the trigger mechanism breaks, the movable member is displaced from the closed position to the open position, allowing a fluid to flow through the TPRD. | 02-07-2013 |

A primary passageway defined through the body is adapted to be connected to the first fluid line. A secondary passageway defined in the body is adapted to be connected to the second fluid line. A valve is disposed on the primary passageway. The valve is movable between a first position where the passageway is open and a second position where the passageway is closed in response to the second pressure in the secondary passageway. The first pressure in the primary passageway is greater than the second pressure in the secondary passageway, and the environment pressure is greater than the second pressure in the secondary passageway. | 04-30-2015 |

| 20080289695 | Heat activated automatic gas shut-off valve - This invention relates to a heat activated shut-off device for gas and liquid flows in fuel supply lines and consists of a housing with a longitudinal void therethrough for fluid passage. A valve seat within the longitudinal void and a spring biased piston slidably carried within the housing when in bearing engagement, will shut-off the flow of fluid. A eutectic metal fuse which is temperature sensitive and fails at a pre-determined temperature extends in part externally of the external surface of the housing and couples with a flow indicator carried adjacent the housing external surface. Coupling of the eutectic metal fuse and flow indicator exposes the eutectic metal fuse at least in part to ambient air. The flow indicator is rotatable upon displacement of the piston. Failure of the eutectic metal fuse results in the uncoupling of the flow indicator that permits the spring to displace the piston into the valve and consequently rotate the flow indicator to another position thereby evidencing shut-off. | 11-27-2008 |
