Abstract: A faucet includes a valve body having a cartridge receiving bore. A valve cartridge is sealingly disposed in the bore. The valve cartridge includes a rotatable stem. An arc-shaped slot is created in the valve cartridge. A lever assembly having a single handle is connected to the stem and operates when rotated in a first direction to permit cold water flow through the valve body, and after being depressed can be rotated in an opposite second direction to permit hot water flow through the valve body. A torsion spring has a first post received in the elongated slot translatable between opposed ends of the elongated slot, and a second post received in a lever assembly aperture preventing second post translation. A biasing force of the torsion spring biases the lever assembly toward a valve closed position only when the lever assembly is rotated in the second direction.

Abstract: Bottled water dispensers that include a cabinet having an exterior portion, which includes side walls, a top wall, and a bottom wall. The water dispensers include at least one water dispensing actuator, which includes a cap portion having an exterior top surface that is flush with the top wall of the bottled water dispenser. The cap portion also includes a button that is substantially parallel with a side wall of the dispenser. The exterior top surface of the cap portion must be pressed downwards, and the button must be pushed inwards, in order to release water from the dispenser.

Abstract: A valve apparatus (100) for use in sterile fluid transfer or isolator systems has open entry (10) and exit (11) sides and a passageway (9) for fluid between the entry (10) and the exit (11) sides. The entry side (10) is connectable to an opening (4c) of a vessel or pipe (4) and the exit side (11) is connectable to downstream processing by means such as tubing, a vessel or a pipe. The entry side (10) includes a rupturable seal (2a) blocking the open entry side (10). Valve (100) also includes an actuator (5) attached to a piston (1) which moves within the valve (100), the piston being connected to the seal so that on movement of the piston, the seal is torn free from the entry side thereby allowing fluid gain entry to the valve (100) and to pass along the passageway (9) between the open entry (10) and exit (11) sides to downstream processing.

Abstract: An interlocking control valve which can be used to control the flow of fluids such as water and gas. The control valve features a push button on the end of a handle which permits the interlocking valve to engage the valve stem when the push button is pressed. A fixed washer is provided with a hole-and-groove cutout, thereby preventing rotation of the handle with respect to the washer unless the push button is pressed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic pumping unit for feeding the hydraulic tilting cylinder(s) of a vehicle having a tilting cab, having a housing (1), a displacement body mounted for movement in a pumping chamber within the housing (1), a control valve having a bore in connection with the pumping chamber and a control valve body (2) within the bore, the control valve body (2) being provided, at an end (3) projecting beyond said housing (1), with a handle by means of which the control valve body (2) may be turned between at least two positions operative to tilt the cab from the drive position and to tilt the cab back into the drive position of the vehicle respectively. In accordance with the invention, the handle has an inner part (A) that is fixedly connected with the control valve body, and an outer part (B) which encloses the inner part (A) in a free rotating manner and is mounted to be coupled with the inner part by means of a key-operated lock cylinder (24), the outer part (B) forming the handle.

Abstract: A rotary valve with a latching/locking operating handle assembly includes a valve body carrying a rotary valve element having an outwardly extending valve stem. A main handle body is joined to the stem and provides guide grooves for cooperating first and second operating members connected by a cam assembly such that selective horizontal movement of the first operating member produces vertical movement of the second operating member. A latch pin carried by the second member is thereby caused to move between engaged and disengaged positions with the valve body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a piezoelectric gas lighter equipped with a safety lock means to prevent undesired ignition. It uses a spring-biased stopper to keep the gaslighter locked and cause an automatic return to locked position after use, thereby guaranteeing prevention of any accident which might otherwise be caused if the gaslighter is inadvertently unlocked or if the gaslighter is by chance unlocked while it is being carried.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gas lighter equipped with a safety lock, which is an L-shaped slidable stopper so slidably fitted in the reentrancy of the thumb-push gas lever that its vertical leg may be on the top of the lighter housing when its horizontal leg is pushed in the reentrancy of the gas lever, thus preventing the descent of the gas lever for lighting, and that its vertical leg may be off from the top surface of the lighter housing when its horizontal leg is drawn to the full length, thus permitting the descent of the gas lever for lighting. A gas lighter according to the present invention assures in its locking condition that an accident which may be caused when a child plays with the device, such as a burn or an accidental fire is prevented.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gas lighter equipped with a safety lock, which is an L-shaped slidable stopper so slidably fitted in the re-entrancy of the thumb-push gas lever that its vertical pin may be above a hole of the lighter housing when its horizontal slide is pushed in the re-entrancy of the gas lever, thus permitting the descent of the gas lever for lighting, and that its vertical pin may be off from the hole of the surface of the lighter housing when its horizontal slide is drawn backward, thus preventing the descent of the gas lever for lighting. A gas lighter according to the persent invention assures in its locking condition that an accident which may be caused when a child plays with the device, such as a burn or an accidental fire is prevented.
