The rotary valve includes a second ball valve including a second stem extending from a second proximal stem end to a second distal stem end outward from the second ball valve. The second stem including a second slotted opening extending from the second distal stem end into the second stem, wherein the second stem extends towards the first stem. The rotary valve includes a drive key located within the first slotted opening and the second slotted opening. The drive key extending from the first slotted opening of the first ball valve to the second slotted opening of the second ball valve to operably connect the first ball valve to the second ball valve. The drive key has a non-uniform thickness. | 2021-12-30 |
20210404567 | BREAK CHECK VALVE FOR HYDRANT - A break check valve includes a valve body defining a mating surface and a valve inner cavity; a pivot pin positioned inside the valve inner cavity and secured to the valve body, an axis of the pivot pin offset in a radial direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the valve body; and a valve member positioned within the valve inner cavity and configured to rotate about the pivot pin from an open position to a closed position of the valve, the valve member comprising a plate and an arm extending from the plate, the valve member configured to remain in the open position of the valve as long as a mating surface of a hydrant remains in contact with the mating surface of the valve body and configured to close when the mating surface of the hydrant is separated from the mating surface of the valve body. | 2021-12-30 |
20210404568 | PUMP VALVE GUIDE FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING - A valve guide for a fracturing pump valve assembly, the valve guide include a ring member having one or more blades. The one or more blades project inward from an annular ring of the ring member, a first side of the one or more blades defining a central space of the ring member, the central space configured to contain a cross-sectional portion of a valve post of the valve assembly therein and the first side extending parallel to a long axis length of the valve post. Valve assemblies and hydraulic fracturing systems including the valve guide are also disclosed. | 2021-12-30 |
20210404569 | BI-STABLE QUICK-RELEASE VALVE - A valve for applying an emergency brake of a rail vehicle includes a valve housing, an actuation member to be activated by a user, an actuation rod connecting the actuation member with a valve head, wherein the valve head is adapted to abut on a valve seat, a guidance for guiding the actuation rod being provided within the valve housing, and a first spring adapted to push the valve head against the valve seat, wherein the actuation rod includes a first groove and a second groove, and wherein a first following member is provided between the actuation rod and the guidance, being adapted to stably rest in the first groove or the second groove. | 2021-12-30 |
20210404570 | CAPACITY CONTROL VALVE - A capacity control valve includes a valve housing provided with a Ps port through which a suction fluid at a suction pressure passes and a Pc port through which a control fluid at a control pressure passes; a valve body configured to close and open a communication between the Pc port and the Ps port by a driving force of a solenoid; and a pressure sensitive body that applies a biasing force to the valve body according to a surrounding fluid pressure. An accommodation chamber in which a rear side portion of the valve body is accommodated is provided with a supply passage to which suction fluid is supplied. | 2021-12-30 |
20210404571 | PILOT RELIEF VALVE - A pilot relief valve is provided, including: a sleeve, a valve body, a piston, an adjusting member, a support base, a blocking member and an elastic member, all disposed inside the sleeve. The support base includes a head portion and a rod portion, the head portion includes an exhaust channel penetrating the first surface, the rod portion includes an air intake channel communicating with the exhaust channel. The blocking member is disposed on the head portion. As such, the air in the sleeve is discharged through the inside of the support base, and the hydraulic oil fills the sleeve to maintain pressure balance so that the support base and the blocking member will not thrust, the perforation of the valve body and the outlet of the tipping valve remains unblocked, and the pressure of the hydraulic oil is stable when the hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic cylinder. | 2021-12-30 |
