Patent number: 9739367Abstract: A valve is mounted in a first bore in a first separable section of a transmission to block or allow fluid flow through the first bore to a second bore in a second transmission section depending on whether the first and second sections are joined together or separated. A movable portion of the valve is responsive to an actuator during relative movement of the transmission sections to shift between fluid flow open and fluid flow closed positions. The valve can include a valve housing fixed in the first bore and a carrying plunger biased to the fluid blocking position and responsive to the actuator for movement to the fluid flow open position. The valve forms a fluid flow path between the first and second bores across the gap between the facing surfaces of the joined transmission sections.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Oetiker NY, Inc.Inventors: James A. Kujawski, Jr., Kip R. Steveley, James Caroll, James Messecar, Sr., Arthur J. Murray, Joseph Anthony Giarrizzo, Robert Stoll

Patent number: 9115816Abstract: A check valve includes a modulation and/or anti-oscillation feature which, in one aspect, modulates the position of the check valve ball relative to the valve seat to maintain the ball in a continuous flow position allowing pressurized fluid flow past the ball while preventing contact between the ball and the valve seat. In another aspect, an increased mass is selectively coupled to or forms a part of the movable valve member to dampen oscillations of the movable valve member in an open fluid flow position without contact with the valve seat.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2010Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: JIFFY-TITE COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Kip R. Steveley, Steven Zillig, Arthur Murray, James Messecar, Michael A. Lenartowicz, James Caroll

Patent number: 9098095Abstract: A cooler bypass apparatus housing has a first fluid passageway connecting a first inlet and a first outlet port, and a second fluid passageway connecting a second inlet port and outlet port. A transverse passageway extends between the first and second fluid passageway. A first valve is disposed in the transverse passageway for one-way fluid flow from the first to the second passageway. A second valve and a thermal actuator coupled to the second valve are disposed in the second passageway. The thermal actuator moves the second valve to fluid flow blocking or fluid flow allowing positions dependent upon fluid temperature.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2008Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Jiffy-tite Co., Inc.Inventors: Robert B. Strzelczyk, James Caroll, Steven R. Zillig, James D. Messecar, Sr., Michael A. Lenartowicz, Kip Stevely, Dan Metz
