Abstract: A valve assembly for a dunnage bag wherein in the valve body a valve diaphragm is mounted on a shaft and is supported by a mounting bar such that the valve diaphragm may be reciprocally moved from the closed position to the open position by a simple axial push on the valve shaft. The valve shaft is retained in the mounting bar in an orifice and the shaft diameter is enlarged at its end distant from the valve diaphragm so as to generate a frictional force fit or lock in the open position to facilitate the removal of air from the bag. The valve may be released form the friction lock by the air pressure of a recharged bag and/or by the manual movement of the valve diaphragm and shaft axially toward the open end of the valve assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus that injects fluid into an inflatable device, dynamically monitors the pressure inside the device, and automatically terminates the inflation and disconnects from the inflatable device when the pressure inside the device reaches a predetermined value preset by the operator. After securing a chuck to the valve of an inflatable device by simply pulling a trigger similar to that of a pistol, the operator initiates the inflation and does not need to intervene further.

Abstract: The subject invention is related to a gas injection device with back-flow leaking liquid discharge, comprising a chamber, a gas inlet conduit, a gas outlet conduit, and a liquid discharging conduit, wherein the gas outlet conduit and the liquid discharging conduit are provided with a check valve, respectively. When a gas is passed to the chamber through the gas inlet conduit, the check valve of the gas outlet conduit is open for the gas to be passed into a liquid and the check valve of the liquid discharging conduit is closed. While the gas has stopped injecting into the liquid, the check valve of the gas outlet is closed to prevent the liquid from back flow. The small amount of back-flow leaking liquid accumulated in the chamber can open the check valve of the liquid discharging conduit to discharge the leaking liquid from the chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a simple fuel vent assembly for use in inboard and outboard fuel tanks for marine vessels. The vent assembly includes upper and lower portions defining an L shaped interior passageway. The lower portion includes upper and lower valve seats positioned within this passageway. Spaced vent openings extend through the lower portion above and below the valve seat. A spherical float is positioned within the passageway between the upper and lower valve seats. As fuel is added to the tank, pressure can escape through the fuel vent. The flow valve is within the passageway as the level of liquid fuel in the tank rises during the fuel refilling process. When the tank is at its desired fill level the float engages the upper valve seat and forms a seal preventing liquid fuel from traveling past the upper seat and through the passageway into the atmosphere outside the tank. The second vent opening remained open to vent pressure from the space between the top of the tank and the fuel level.

Abstract: A dual-poppet valve comprising a valve body having spaced-apart coaxial valve seats and being arranged such that first and second poppets both open into the primary chamber. A first pintle shaft engages the first poppet, and a second pintle shaft engages the second poppet. A motorized actuator having a gear transmission includes a pinion gear. The pintle shafts include opposing gear racks, and the pinion gear engages both racks. Thus, rotation of the pinion gear in a first direction causes both poppets to be lifted from their seats simultaneously, in opposite directions; and counter-rotation engages each poppet with its respective seat. In closing, one poppet engages its seat slightly before the other poppet engages the other seat. The first pintle slides through the first poppet until the second poppet is fully seated by the actuator. The force of the spring fully engages the first poppet with the first seat.

Abstract: A venting valve for a fuel vessel of a portable handheld work apparatus has a valve housing which includes a base body and a valve cover. A valve plate is mounted between the base body and the valve cover. The valve plate controls a pressure compensating channel connecting the vessel interior space to the outside of the vessel. A cover cap extends over the valve cover and is fixed with an attachment shoulder on the base body. To reliably prevent a separation of the cover cap from the base body, a collar is provided on the liquid vessel wherein the attachment shoulder of the cover cap engages. The collar overlaps the free end of the attachment shoulder over a pregiven axial length (L). The inner diameter (I) of the collar is configured only slightly greater than the outer diameter (A) of the free end of the attachment shoulder.

Abstract: Poppet valve installation or removal is simplified through the use of a unitary poppet assembly that may be accurately placed into a valve body through an access opening and wherein the poppet is slidably mounted in a stem in an insert while being permanently affixed thereto by the interference fit between a shoulder on the poppet stem and a post within the sleeve.

Abstract: A fuel cutoff valve of the invention includes a casing body having a valve chamber and a holder element, a float having a seat member on its top, a movable valve element that is fitted in the holder element in a vertically movable manner, and a first connection conduit and a second connection conduit that connect inside of the valve chamber with outside. When the fuel level in a fuel tank rises to a preset first fluid level, the float moves up to shut off the first connection conduit. When the fuel level further rises to a preset second fluid level, the float further moves up to press the movable valve element up and shut off the second connection conduit. The fuel cutoff valve of this simple structure effectively prevents a blowing back flow of fuel in the course of fuel supply without requiring any subtle setting of a spring load.

Abstract: A float assembly for a multifunction fuel vapor vent valve with a float having a recess formed in the upper surface of the float with a slot formed in the side of the float and communicating with the recess. A raised surface portion is formed in the bottom of the recess and downwardly extending projections are formed in the slot at the recess. A flexible wafer like valve disk is inserted in the slot and deformed or curled to pass under the projections and over the raised surface and into the recess. When fully received in the recess the disk returns to its flat configuration; and, the downward projections prevent removal without distortion. Radially inwardly projections about the recess retain the disk for limited lost motion in the direction of float movement.

Abstract: A safety valve assembly for use with a global manual valve which is installed on a high pressure cylinder or container. The safety valve assembly has a main body that is threaded into the lower bore of the global manual valve. A poppet valve slides into the bore of the main body and is restrained by a valve seat. An end cap is then threaded into the lower end of the main body to keep the poppet valve inside. The poppet valve has longitudinal flutes formed on the surface for regulated passage of gases and fluids. The poppet valve also has a cone on the upper end, which can have bleeder veins inscribed on its surface. When activated, the poppet valve prevents the uncontrolled release of high pressure out of the cylinder. Thereafter, the bleeder veins permit the release of small amounts of high pressure until the cylinder is exhausted to a safe level.
