  • Patent number: 10066760
    Abstract: A valve position indicator assembly is disclosed herein. The valve position indicator assembly includes a gearing assembly operable to transmit an input rotation to an output rotation. The gearing assembly includes a first gearing member driven to the output rotation by the input rotation. A rate of the output rotation is a fraction of and less than a rate of the input rotation. The valve position indicator assembly includes: a position indicia engaged with the first gearing member such that the indicia and the first gearing member move together; a scale plate including a plurality of graduated indicia defining a scale of rotation movement of the first gearing member; a mounting bracket comprising a first slot having a length extending between a first end and a second end; and a debris shield having a first end, second end, and inclined frustoconical sides.

The gearing assembly includes a first gearing member driven to the output rotation by the input rotation. A rate of the output rotation is a fraction of and less than a rate of the input rotation. The valve position indicator assembly also includes a position indicia engaged with the first gearing member such that the indicia and the first gearing member jointly move together. The valve position indicator assembly also includes a scale plate including a plurality of graduated indicia defining a scale of rotation movement of the first gearing member. The scale plate is disposed proximate to the first gearing member such that the position indicia passes across the scale of the scale plate during the output rotation.
