  • Patent number: 4596269
    Abstract: A differential pressure-actuated valve with a piston slidable to open or to close an inlet port. The piston slides in a cylindrical wall, and separates a bias chamber and a flow chamber. The piston is fitted with two oppositely-directed lip seals, one of which seals against bias chamber pressure, and the other of which scrapes particulate matter off of the wall. Optionally, an elongated filter extends from the piston into an inlet pipe where it filters water which flows to the bias chamber. The filter may have a perforated mesh wall, or a solid wall with an open end.

  • Patent number: 4494562
    Abstract: YA flow proportioning control for proportioning flow from a water level sensing valve. A barrier is positioned downstream from the valve adjacent to a refill line. A restrictor ring is positioned on said barrier with a portion overlying the upper surface of the refill line. It is interchangeable so that by substituting rings of various sizes, various proportions of flow can be selected.
