137515000 | In couplings for coaxial conduits, e.g., drill pipe check valves | 8 |
20080289702 | RIGID COUPLING DEVICE FOR PRESSURIZED FLUID-CONDUITS - The rigid coupling device includes a closure valve extended by a retractable sliding stop member of general tubular shape made from elastically deformable material, having at least one outward radial projection forming a stop against a corresponding inward radial projection of a movable interior body that contains the valve. The stop member has an open end opposite the opening of the cylindrical cavity of one end connecting to the conduit. Simultaneous withdrawal of the interior body and of the valve into the interior body has the effect of causing this open end to contract, forcibly inserting it into the cylindrical cavity of the connecting end in such a manner as to overcome the stop. | 11-27-2008 |
20100154901 | Faucet Structure - A faucet system includes a metallic outer pipe, an inner pipe made of plastic material, and a valve. Inner walls of the outer pipe having an appropriate distance near a top end of the outer pipe include a helical threads section. A first pipe section is at one end of the inner pipe includes ringed grove and backflow ring. The first pipe section of the inner pipe has a circumference that is smaller than rest of the inner pipe. A second pipe section is at the other end of the inner pipe and has a circumference that is larger than the rest of the inner pipe. The second pipe section forms a resistance section. The inner pipe is made of plastic material. | 06-24-2010 |
20110061750 | CHECK VALVE COUNTERBALANCED BY FLOW TO CONTROL OPENING AND CLOSING SPEED - A check valve has a valve seat defining an inner peripheral bore. A valve disc is positioned within said inner peripheral bore, and mounted for pivotal movement about a hinge axis. A first central plane separates the valve disc along a diameter, and a second central plane dividing the valve disc along a thickness. The hinge axis is offset from both of the central planes. | 03-17-2011 |
20120266980 | IN-LINE BACK PRESSURE FLUID REGULATORS - In-line back pressure fluid regulators are described. An example in-line fluid regulator includes a regulator body defining a sensing chamber and an outlet of a fluid flow path of the fluid regulator. The outlet is in fluid communication with the sensing chamber via a first flow passageway in the regulator body. A bonnet is coupled to the regulator body and defines an inlet of the fluid flow path and a loading chamber disposed between the sensing chamber and the inlet. The loading chamber is substantially sealed relative to the fluid flow path of the fluid regulator. A pressure sensor is disposed between the inlet and the sensing chamber, where the pressure sensor defines a second flow passageway to fluidly couple the inlet and the sensing chamber. | 10-25-2012 |
20140345712 | LOWER EFFORT QUICK-DISCONNECT COUPLER - This invention relates to an improvement in the manner by which the direct response sealing member (valve) is opened or uncoupled by substantially reducing the required insertion force and hence reducing the work required. A fluid channel opening of the direct response valve is initiated by the insertion of a typical male quick-disconnect coupling into a typical female quick-disconnect coupling containing this new direct response valve. A new direct response valve is designed to ensure that the internal sealing member is firstly opened in a rotational manner and then secondly, if desired, in a more typical translational manner. The new sealing member is designed to be backward compatible with existing two part quick-disconnect assemblies and this facilitates a simple one part substitution to benefit from this improvement. | 11-27-2014 |
20140366966 | HIGH PRESSURE CHECK VALVE FLANGE JOINT - A valve flange joint includes a valve flange and first and second duct flanges. The first and second duct flanges include respective first and second mating portions. The first mating portion includes a first duct rim, a first duct face in contact with a first face of the valve flange, and a first slot. The second mating portion includes a second duct face in contact with a second face of the valve flange, and a second rim. In an embodiment, the valve flange includes a tab that extends in an axial direction through the first slot and includes an inner surface radially inward of an outermost portion of the second mating portion. In another embodiment, a first thickness is defined between the first flange face and the second flange face. Second and third thicknesses are also defined for the first and second mating portions. The three thicknesses are substantially similar. | 12-18-2014 |
137515500 | Valve seat formed on or carried by a coupling element | 1 |
20120037247 | RAPID-CONNECT COUPLER - A rapid-connect gas coupler is shown and described herein. In an embodiment, the rapid-connect gas coupler includes a spring-loaded probe within a probe cavity, which is defined by a housing and one or more latch segment. The probe can engage with a gas connector, which causes the latch segment to engage and couple with the gas connector. | 02-16-2012 |
137515700 | Valve seat clamped between coupling elements | 1 |
20090183787 | Valve-to-fitting converter for process piping systems - Valve-to-fitting converter that mounts on the body of an existing valve in a piping system in place of the actuator for the valve and has a dam that mates with a weir in the valve body to block flow between sections of piping connected to the valve body, and ports that provide communication between the sections of piping and fittings connected to the converter. With such converters replacing two or more of the valves in a system, sections of piping can be isolated and/or re-routed without having to shut down the entire system for an extended period of time. | 07-23-2009 |
