  • Patent number: 8550113
    Abstract: A single stage vacuum breaker flow regulator includes a diaphragm retained in an elevated position in between atmosphere and an outlet chamber for a gaseous medium. A valve in communication with an inlet chamber is yieldingly urged to a closed position by a spring. Cam levers are movable by the diaphragm upon a reduction in pressure to sub-atmospheric in the outlet chamber. The movement of said cam levers in response to a reduction in pressure is transmitted to a yieldingly movable valve to open said valve to the flow of gas from said inlet chamber to said outlet chamber.

  • Patent number: 4700735
    Abstract: A bonnet is mounted on an insert support and connected to a valve body to retain a diaphragm in fluid sealing relationship between the body and insert support. The insert support is rotatable relative to the housing of a fluid actuator while being retained in a fixed axial position relative to the housing. A plunger is extended through the insert support to abut against a button that abuts against one side of the diaphragm, the opposite side of which abuts against a valve seat subassembly that is resiliently urged to a valve open condition. The housing mounts a spindle which in turn has an eccentric lobe keyed thereto for moving the plunger toward the diaphragm so that the button flexes the diaphragm to move the seat subassembly to its valve closed position. Piston operated rack mechanism controls the rotation of the lobe for moving the plunger toward the diaphragm. Spring mechanism moves the piston in one direction while fluid under pressure applied to the actuator moves the piston in the opposite direction.
