  • Patent number: 7011291
    Abstract: A handle (2) as actuating device for valves (1) is proposed, comprising a fastening head (10) for fastening to a spindle (7) of the valve (1) and an actuating arm (11) for rotatably actuating the spindle, the spindle (7) being arranged in a valve housing (5) so as to be rotatable about the axis of rotation of a sealing part, the actuating arm (11) being arranged to be movable perpendicularly to the axis of the spindle (7) from a closed position into an open position of the valve (1). The actuating arm (11) has means (14) for preventing the actuation of the handle (2), the fastening head (10) has a fastening means (21) for fastening the handle (2) to the valve spindle (7), and the handle (2) has a sealing plate (15) for sealing the fastening means (21).

  • Patent number: 6267139
    Abstract: A valve arrangement with at least two connecting regions and with an actuating device is proposed, the valve body having a lead-through region for guiding a spindle and a receiving housing which encloses at least the lead-through region of the valve body being provided for receiving the means for sensing the valve position. The receiving housing, which can be easily adapted to the respective field of use, can be integrated in a simple manner in existing valve arrangements and the compact and flexible arrangement of the means for sensing the valve position in the receiving housing ensures to an increased extent that the valve position will be correctly indicated.
