Abstract: A valve assembly includes a first spool valve that directs fluid to a working object. The first spool valve has 5 ports. A second spool valve directs fluid to the exhaust. The second spool valve has 5 ports. The valve assembly has only 4 positions. The valve assembly can direct the working air through different ports to allow for different working objects to be actuated.

Abstract: A valve mounting system includes an upper plate including an upper inlet, an upper outlet, and an upper exhaust. A lower plate includes a lower inlet, a lower outlet, and a lower exhaust that are aligned with the upper inlet, the upper outlet, and the upper exhaust, respectively to define an inlet, an outlet and an exhaust, respectively. A spoon moves about an axis to control a flow of fluid through an opening. The opening is one of the inlet, the outlet and the exhaust.

Abstract: A valve (10) includes a first valve housing portion (12) and a second valve housing portion (14). The first valve housing portion and the second valve housing portion are separate components attached together to define a valve housing. The first valve housing portion includes an inner end surface (16) having an opening (18). The second valve housing portion includes an inner end surface (56) having a protruding annular rim (60) with an annular groove (62) and a seal (64) is received in the annular groove. The protruding annular rim including the seal is received in the opening in the inner end surface of the first valve housing portion to define a valve housing.

Abstract: An air valve manifold (20) to be used with a glass making machine includes a base (24) and a valve (22) including a valve body attached to the base (24). The valve body includes a first projection (42) on a front of the valve body and an opposing second projection (44) on an opposing rear of the valve body. A first attachment feature (50) is secured to the front of the base to retain at least a portion of the first projection (42) of the valve body. A second attachment feature (52) is secured to the base to retain at least a portion of the opposing second projection (44) of the valve body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for recovering hydrocarbon vapors in fuel delivery systems comprising a proportional throttle valve which is mounted in a vapor recovery line to a tank, with the valve being controlled by an error signal which is a function of the fuel volume flow and the vapor volume flow. Accordingly the vapor volume flow returned by a vacuum pump to the container is controlled. The invention further relates to the structure of the proportional throttle valve, including a tandem piston arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a proportional valve, in particular for fuel dispensing systems, to recover fuel vapor to the gas station tank. According to the invention the valve member is defined by a tandem piston arrangement to increase safety and accuracy in controlling the vapor volume to be recovered. The invention further relates to a valve arrangement for fuel dispensing systems having a plurality of fuel nozzles.
