Abstract: A flow regulator (1) having a regulator housing (2) with a control peg (4) in a passage channel that encompasses an annular flow restrictor (5) made of elastic material. The flow restrictor defines a control gap (6) located between itself and at least one part that is fixed to the housing. The passage cross-section of the gap can be modified by deformation of the flow restrictor resulting from the difference in pressure during cross flow. Spaced recesses (7, 8) oriented in the flow direction are provided in a peripheral direction on the surfaces of the part fixed to the housing defining the control gap (6). The regulation recesses are on the inner surface of the regulator housing (2) and on the peripheral surface of the control peg. The desired flow rate is achieved at comparatively low liquid pressure and remains practically constant in case of increased or fluctuating liquid pressures.

Abstract: A check valve wherein the housing has an inlet and a seat at one end and an outlet at the other end. The other end can receive a removable and reinsertable cage which serves to confine a selected one of several spherical and/or otherwise configurated valving elements to movements between a sealing position of engagement with the seat to seal the inlet from the outlet and an inoperative position in which the housing, the selected valving element and the cage define a path for the flow of a fluid from the inlet toward, through and beyond the outlet. The inserted valving element is biased against the seat by a spring or by the fluid when the pressure of fluid at the outlet exceeds the pressure of fluid at the inlet.
