Abstract: An improved plastic laminated structure, a method to make that structure and use of that structure as a cover for a moisture-resistance electronic utility meter register. The structure is formed by providing a plastic layer to which is laminated on one side by means of an adhesive a water vapor barrier film of polychlorotrifluoroethylene.

Abstract: A diaphragm actuated pressure regulator is provided having a molded contoured diaphragm capable of operation in the upper portion of the diaphragm's deflection stroke without experiencing material deformation and thereby preserving the precision of the diaphragm's response to pressure fluctuations. The pressure regulator includes a curved lever arm for transmitting the deflection of the diaphragm to a displacement of a valve pad which regulates the flow of gas from an inlet through an orifice restriction to an outlet. The lever fulcrum is located in the throat area of the pressure regulator and supported by a guide to provide a high lever ratio which enables a relatively small diaphragm to generate a relatively high valve closing force.
