Abstract: A fluid pressure regulator includes a diaphragm operated leakport controlling low liquid or fluid flow rates. A precisely formed leakage unit spaced from the leakport establishes continuous flow from the input to the output. The leakage unit includes an opening in the body of the regulator and a separate orifice unit having an integral molded body and internal precision orifice establishing the continuous flow. The molded body fits within the opening and is firmly attached to the body to create a precise control of flow therethrough. The orifice has a diameter in the range of about 0.001 to 0.030 inches, and establishes precise low flows. The separate orifice unit includes an elongated tubular body with an internal orifice molded as single integral members.

Abstract: A pneumatic switch unit includes a switch housing. A conductive contact spring is mounted between diametric supports, one being adjustable. The spring has a central actuator arm and an offset contact arm interconnected to an encircling frame. A two piece switch actuator has clamp members clamped to the actuator arm. Separate end closure members secured to the switch housing ends. The closure member may clamp a diaphragm against the housing, with the diaphragm engaging the actuator. The closure member may have a mechanical actuating member or a simple closure plate engaging the actuator. The two switch housings may be mounted to the opposite sides of a single pressure chamber with end diaphragms closing the opposed ends of the switch housing. The pressure actuates both switch units to establish a sequence switch unit. The spring has a rectangular frame with a central opening having an actuating arm therein. The opposite spring ends are mounted in supports one of which is adjustable.
