Patent number: 9976671Abstract: A valve comprises a housing, a control handle rotatable relative to the housing, a flow control mechanism in the housing and connected with the control handle, stop seats formed on the housing, a locking body in contact with the control handle, stopping portions formed in the locking body and movable between a locking position in which the stopping portions engage the stop seats and a release position in which the stopping portions are moved away from the stop seats, a control surface formed in the handle. The handle is movable between a lowered position towards the housing and a position raised from the housing. In the raised position, the control surface pushes the stopping portions in the locking position and, in the lowered position, the control surface allows the stopping portions to return in the release position.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: F.I.P. Formatura Iniezione Polimeri S.p.A.Inventors: Lucio Luciotti, Corrado Mazzacano

Patent number: 9453579Abstract: Ball valve with a housing which forms an inlet, an outlet and an obturator seat, an obturator which forms an inner cavity with an inlet aperture, an outlet aperture opposite the inlet aperture, an auxiliary aperture between the inlet aperture and the outlet aperture, as well as a closed side opposite the auxiliary aperture. The inlet aperture and the outlet aperture connect the inlet with the inner cavity and with the obturator seat and an outer channel is formed in an outer surface of the closed side which, when the obturator is rotated from a closed position towards an open position, opens a first outer flow passage between the obturator seat and the outlet before the outlet aperture opens a second inner flow passage between the inner cavity and the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: F.I.P. Formatura Iniezione Polimeri S.p.A.Inventors: Andrea Bisio, Corrado Mazzacano

Patent number: 9091370Abstract: A ball valve including a valve body with connection portions, one or more threaded ring-nuts screwable to the connection portions to connect them, a control handle and a ring-nut spanner tool suitable for engaging the ring-nut to screw and unscrew the ring-nuts from the connection portions. The ring-nut spanner tool is housed in a rest position in the control handle and can be moved from the rest position to a working position outside the control handle. In the working position, the ring-nut spanner tool can engage the ring-nut.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: F.I.P.
