  • Publication number: 20230367337
    Abstract: A device for limiting or keeping constant a quantity of fluid flowing therethrough, includes: a housing with a front chamber and a rear chamber; a partition arranged in the housing with two or more openings; and a flow limiting element arranged in one or both openings. The flow limiting element includes a housing provided with an inlet, an outlet and a throughflow opening; and a resilient plate-like valve element mounted in the housing, substantially able to close the throughflow opening by resilient movement in the direction of a valve seat arranged in the housing adjacently of the throughflow opening. The valve element is fixed on one side and can move resiliently on the opposite side in the direction of the valve seat. A mould produces one or more injection-moulded products. The injection-moulded product is a flow limiter for limiting the force of the flow of a fluid flowing therethrough.

  • Patent number: 10961691
    Abstract: A coupling device for coupling and decoupling a flow regulating device from a water piping system. The coupling device includes an inlet and an outlet, each arranged to be connected to a pipe of the piping system, and a holder arranged between the inlet and the outlet for holding the flow regulating device. The coupling device further includes a locking device which is movable from and towards the holder between an unlocked and a locked position. In the locked position, the locking device is arranged to engage and lock the flow regulating device held in the holder and the device is coupled to the inlet and the outlet. In the unlocked position, the locking device is moved away from the flow regulating device for removal of the flow regulating device from the coupling device.
