Abstract: Connector housings and connector assemblies for mechanically connecting a pin to a housing with or without electrical conductivity. A connector housing can be formed by attaching two housing sections together with one or both housing sections formed at least in part by a stamping process. The connector housing can have an outer contour, such as an outer perimeter, with one or more sides and with a joining section connecting two adjacent sides together. The two or more sides can be used for handling, aligning, and/or assembling of the connector housing to a cavity.

Abstract: An oil or gas well actuator (1) assembly comprising a fixed member (10), an actuating member (30) being moveable axially with respect to the fixed member, with open-ended recesses containing canted coil springs (40) on e.g. the fixed member and a radially extending shoulder (30s) on the actuating member which adapted to engage a canted coil spring within a recess (20). A support member (50) is adapted to cover open ends of the recesses and moves into different axial positions with respect to the recesses to uncover open ends of different recesses in the different axial positions of the support member. Expansion of a canted coil spring (40) from an open end of a recess engages with the shoulder (30s) to restrict movement of the actuating member (30) at indexed positions. When the actuating member (30) moves relative to the support member direction, the support member (50) retains its position relative to the canted coil spring.

Abstract: A draining device for draining fuel from a fuel vapor system into a fuel tank is provided, the draining device comprising a port configured to be coupled to a fuel vapor accessory and a sealing member displaceable between a closed position in which the port is closed by the sealing member and an open position in which fuel from the fuel vapor accessory can be drained into the tank, wherein the sealing member is displaced into the open position when pressure in the tank is substantially equal to the atmospheric pressure and the fuel level in the tank is below the fuel level in the fuel vapor accessory.

Abstract: Dryer appliances and methods for operating dryer appliances are provided. A method includes flowing internal air from a drum chamber through an outlet assembly of the dryer appliance, and selectively actuating a valve to flow external air to the outlet assembly of the dryer appliance from external to a cabinet of the dryer appliance. The method further includes alternately sensing open flow pressure values of the external air being flowed to the outlet assembly from external to the cabinet when the valve is open and closed flow pressure values of the external air being flowed to the outlet assembly from external to the cabinet when the valve is closed.

Abstract: Check valves are disclosed, including check valve included in an aspirator, that includes a housing defining an internal cavity having a first port and a second port both in fluid communication therewith, and a sealing member within the cavity. The sealing member is translatable between a closed position against a first seat within the internal cavity of the housing and an open position against a second seat within the internal cavity of the housing. The sealing member has a sealing material positioned for sealing engagement with the first seat when the sealing member is in the closed position and a reinforcing member positioned for engagement with the second seat when the sealing member is in the open position.

Abstract: A single lever faucet with spray, wherein two cold and hot water inlet holes, a water outlet hole and a through hole are defined in the bottom of the faucet body, and the water outlet hole is connected to a hollow threaded tube, and the through hole is connected to a connecting tube. One side of the peripheral of the faucet body is defined with a chamber and a controlling device, and in the top surface of the faucet body is formed an inserting groove that is connected to the through hole for inserting a discharging base. A tee joint member is mounted between the hollow threaded tube and the connecting tube, a valve room is defined in the tee joint member for installing a diverter valve, and the middle section of the tee joint member is connected to the hollow threaded tube, and the ends are connected to a spray gun and a guiding tube respectively. Therefore, by opening and closing the spray gun, the water that supplied to the spray gun and the water outlet tube can be changed automatically.

Abstract: A fluid operated control valve for controlling fluid flow of a system which includes a first and a second fluid channels therein, the control valve includes: a hollow casing with closed first and second ends; a piston member slidably disposed within the casing and defining thereby within the casing a first chamber adjacent to the first end of the casing and a second chamber adjacent to the second end of the casing; a first magnet disposed adjacent the first chamber of the casing for attracting the piston member to a first terminal position; a second magnet disposed adjacent the second chamber of the casing for attracting the piston member to a second terminal position.

Abstract: A valve arrangement including a valve housing (10) which includes an inlet port (11) and two outlet ports (12, 13) for fluid flowing through the housing. A valve element (15) is accommodated in a first valve space in the valve housing and movable between two end positions. The valve element includes two surfaces (16), each of which is adapted for co-action with a respective outlet port such as to close an associated outlet port in one and the other of the end positions of the valve element (15). A device (20 or 21 and 26, 47) for resetting the valve element between the positions. The valve element (15) is mounted on one end of a pivotal arm (18) and has the form of a valve plate or disc which includes valve-element surfaces (16) for alternate co-action with a respective outlet port (12, 13).

Abstract: A valve housing (10) includes an inlet port (11) and two outlet ports (12, 13) for fluid passing through the housing. A valve element (15) accommodated in the valve housing is moveable freely between two end positions and has two surfaces (16) each adapted to close a respective outlet port in one and the other of the two end positions of the valve element. The valve element further includes members (20, 22: 21, 22: 21, 26, 47; 26, 48; 26, 50; 26, 51-54) for resetting between the positions. A double-action pump includes two spaces or rooms that have valve-controlled inlets and outlets (39, 40; 29, 30) for drive fluid and pump-transported working fluid respectively. The spaces are divided into an operating chamber (28) and a working chamber (27) by partition walls (26, 36, 37) which are pistons or diaphragms (26) and reciprocatingly move between end positions.
