Publication number: 20140001744Abstract: A union coupling having a removable screen is disclosed. The union coupling includes a pipe joint, a fitting that receives the screen, and a collar which clamps the fitting to the pipe joint. In one form, the fitting has an inner surface that defines a passage through the fitting and a pocket formed in the inner surface. The screen has a transverse extension that is received at least in part in the pocket with engagement of the transverse extension and pocket restricting passage of the screen past a predetermined position in the passage. A union coupling having a fitting comprising a fitting body with an outward flange and a shoulder element with an outward flange is also provided. The shoulder element is connected to the fitting body to captivate a collar between the outward flanges of the fitting so that the collar does not become separated from the fitting body. A method of assembling a union coupling is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: Rain Bird CorporationInventors: Clint R. Haas, Jason A. Reichard

Patent number: 7503348Abstract: A low-flow diaphragm valve has a flexible diaphragm that cooperates with a portion of a valve body to open and close the valve. The diaphragm may have a dome for seating in a passage between the inlet and outlet of the valve. The diaphragm may have one or more ribs for seating against other portions of the body located around the passage. The valve body may include openings or interruptions to permit fluid to flow through the valve, as well as to permit relatively small particulate matter to flow through even though the ribs contact the body such that the ribs and openings affect flow and may perform screening functions to block or restrict particulate matter of relatively large size from flowing to the passage between the dome and the valve body.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Rain Bird CorporationInventors: Kevin M.
