Abstract: In a double-damper apparatus 1 including a driving portion (2), two frame portions (3 and 4) arranged on both sides of the driving portion, and two open/close members (5 and 6) which are coupled with the driving portion (2) and perform the operation of opening/closing the openings (31 and 41) formed in the frame portions respectively by the driving force of the driving portion, a steps(s) &bgr; is formed between the flat portions (37b and 47b) of the two frame portions (3 and 4). A labyrinth structure is formed between both flat portions (37b and 47b) to prevent leakage of fluid between both fluid channels.

Abstract: A portable fueling control system is provided for delivering bulk fuel to a vehicle from a pressurized source. The portable system includes a fluid driven power source for operating auxiliary instrumentation of the system. An inlet receives the bulk fuel from the pressurized source. The inlet has a primary fluid path and a secondary fluid path. A first flow rate control is in fluidic communication with the primary fluid path for adjustably controlling the flow rate of bulk fuel from the pressurized source to a system outlet. A first monitor is operably linked to the secondary fluid path and the first flow rate control. The first monitor is responsive to the flow rate of the secondary fluid path for actuating the first flow rate control to vary the pressure difference across the first flow rate control.

Abstract: A mixing device is suggested for introducing a fluid into another flowing liquid, especially for use as an oil lubricator. This lubricator consists of an exterior venturi pipe 18 and an interior venturi pipe 16, whereby a feed line 13 ensures the supply of the oil to be mixed into the interior venturi pipe 16. The feed line 13 is connected to the storage tank 28 of the lubricator by means of a butterfly valve 30 and a uptake 29. A control insert 20 is mounted in the ring-shaped cross-section between the interior pipe 16 and the flow channel 18. This has elastic blades in particular, which largely close the circular ring section at lower amounts of throughput of the air, such that even in this operational state, consistently good mixing results of the oil with the air can be guaranteed in interior pipe 16.

The apparatus includes a metal part with a high pressure passage communicating the inlet port with the piston. The high pressure passage has a portion with a relatively constricted flow area, whereby compression of gas flowing through the passage yields heat of compression that heats the metal part. The apparatus further includes a plastic part configured to engage and support the metal part in an operative position in which the inlet port communicates with an outlet port on a pressure vessel outlet valve.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for injecting a liquid product or chemical into a main water supply line used for agricultural or industrial purposes. A pressure regulating bypass valve has an inlet side connected to an outlet line of a multi-ganged, diaphragm pump. The pump is run at a constant speed and produces a non-pulsatile flow of product. The bypass line of the valve is connected to an inlet line of the pump. The bypass valve is set at a predetermined pressure, discharging any excess product into the bypass line. The product line at the outlet side of the bypass valve progresses in serial fashion to an electronic control valve, a product flow meter, and a check valve. The output side of the check valve is interconnected to the main water supply line for injection of product therein. A water flow meter is also provided in the main water supply line.

Abstract: An integral gas burner manifold and pressure regulator with an inlet fitting received through one wall of the manifold and threadedly engaging in the manifold a regulator body received through a second oppositely disposed wall of the manifold. The body has a valve seat and downstream ports for supplying the interior of the manifold. Portions of the body extending exteriorly of the manifold, retain and seal a housing shell having a pressure responsive diaphragm exposed to the pressure of the ports. A poppet is disposed on the valve seat and is connected to the diaphragm by a rod; and, the poppet is moved by the rod in response to changes in pressure acting on the diaphragm. The diaphragm is preloaded by an adjustable spring.

Abstract: A faucet fitting system having interchangeable components useable in both single handle and dual handle faucet fixtures. The component system is designed to allow the same putty plate with breast plate, waterway spout, aerator and mounting nuts to be used with the various escutcheons, metering valves and waterways associated with the single handle and dual handle faucet fixtures. Specially constructed water valves, putty plates and escutcheon constructions useable in conjunction with the system are also disclosed.

Abstract: When a valve body of a pressure-reducing valve is displaced in the direction indicated by the arrow B, a seal pad of a valve seal mechanism on the valve body abuts against a ridge on a seat, which enters the seal pad to provide a seal therebetween. When the ridge enters the seal pad by a distance, abutment surfaces of holders on the seat are held against the seal pad, preventing the ridge from entering the seal pad beyond the distance. The distance by which the ridge enters the seal pad is thus made constant. The ridge is spaced from the abutment surfaces by a groove, which communicates with a primary port through grooves between the holders, keeping a constant valve sealing area. The pressure-reducing valve which incorporates the valve seal mechanism has a constant quality level.

Abstract: An assembling structure for balance valve of cold/hot water mixing valve. The assembling structure includes a mixing valve cartridge a bottom wall of which is formed with a lower balance valve cavity above the cold and hot water incoming holes thereof, and a circular balance valve cover board formed with cold and hot water incoming holes and mixing water outgoing hole corresponding to the water holes of the cartridge. A lower surface of the balance valve cover board is formed with an upper balance valve cavity at the cold and hot water incoming holes thereof. The lower surface of the balance valve cover board is further formed with a sealing groove along the edges of the mixing water outgoing hole and the upper balance valve cavity. When the balance valve cover board is fixedly rested on the upper surface of the bottom wall of the cartridge, the cover board via a balance valve seal is sealedly positioned in the sealing groove and pressed by the bottom wall of the cartridge.

Abstract: An improved pressure balancer is mounted to a water inlet passage of a mixing faucet. Its improvement is characterized by the adoption of a mixing chamber, defined at one end of a valve control shaft, in which a plurality of upright turbulence rods are disposed, and a pair of identical silencing screens that are fit in the mixing chamber at the same time so as to effectively reduce the operational noise of a faucet. Moreover, a threaded flange is provided next to the rubber diaphragm on a balance rod to allow a compression nut to be mounted to the balance rod with one side thereof in abutment against the diaphragm. Thus, the diaphragm can be protected from being overturned inside out as a result of excessive water pressure applied to the diaphragm in operation.
