  • Control member for a fluid control device
    Patent number: 10323770
    Abstract: A control member for use in a fluid control device is disclosed. The control member may include a through-bore for receiving a valve stem and one or more counter-bores aligned with the through-bore. One of the counter-bores may receive a connection member, such as a retaining nut, for connecting the control member to the valve stem. Accordingly, the connection member may be concealed within the control member and thus prevented from interfering with the fluid flow around the control member. Also disclosed is a fluid control device incorporating the control member and a method of assembling a fluid control device incorporating the control member.

  • Control Member for a Fluid Regulating Device
    Publication number: 20170102721
    Abstract: A control member for a fluid regulating device. The control member includes a top side and a bottom side. The top side is adapted to engage a valve seat of the fluid regulating device when the control member is arranged in a closed position. The control member also includes a means for reducing a suction force exerted on the bottom side of the control member by fluid flowing proximate to the control member. In one example, the means takes the form of a rim that extends outwardly from the bottom side to a position below the bottom side. The rim is configured to reduce a downward force exerted on the bottom side of the control member by directing fluid flowing through the fluid passageway away from the bottom side of the control member.
