  • Patent number: 11280656
    Abstract: A valve unit for a dosing device of a fluid has a unit body having a fluid inlet passage, a fluid outlet passage, and, therebetween, an obturator seat housing a ball obturator. An obturator passage is formed in the ball obturator, which is rotatable between an open position, in which the obturator passage fluidically connects the fluid inlet passage to the fluid outlet passage, and a closed position, in which the ball obturator prevents passage of fluid from the fluid inlet passage to the fluid outlet passage. A fluid-tight intake piston, slidingly housed in a piston chamber and integral in rotation with the ball obturator, fluidically communicates with the fluid inlet and outlet passages. Cam means arranged between the unit body and the fluid-tight intake piston cause translation of the fluid-tight intake piston from an advanced position to a retracted position for intaking residual fluid present in the obturator passage.

  • Patent number: 10731769
    Abstract: A fluid recirculation and dispenser valve unit of a fluid comprises a fluid recirculation and dispenser valve and a cartridge in which an axial valve seat is made which at least partially houses said valve. Said valve comprises a valve body and a valve rod which extends partially in said valve body and which is axially movable between a closed rearward position of the valve and an open forward position of the valve. The axial valve seat comprises a proximal recirculation portion, which communicates fluidically with a recirculation duct, and a distal dispenser portion in fluidic communication with a dispenser duct.

  • Publication number: 20180266603
    Abstract: A quick-fit connector (1) for the connection of a pipe of a pneumatic system comprises a main body (2) and a pincer body (40). The main body (2) comprises a side wall (30) slidingly insertable in a base portion (58) of the pincer body (40) to prevent the entrance of dust, splinters and similar in the interspace between the pincer body (40) and main body (2).

  • Publication number: 20110012350
    Abstract: A fitting has an external body and a caliper element, lodged in an axial cavity of the body and able to block the end of a tube inside the cavity. The caliper element can be moved from a rearward position blocking the tube, to a forward position releasing the tube, and includes a flanged rim protruding from an end of the body. A security ring is joined to the end of the body from which the flanged rim protrudes. The ring has an outer portion which extend axially from the end and can resist at least an axial force exerted manually, and an innermost portion which is flexible so that when subjected to an axial force exerted manually, it can move axially and to touch the flanged rim. The inner and outer portions are reciprocally positioned so pressure can be exerted on the innermost portion only with a special tool.
