Heribert HEROLD has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10465813
    Abstract: A shut-off valve housing having a through-channel extending inside a main body between an inlet opening and an outlet opening, and a valve seat disposed inside the through-channel. To reduce flow losses, an outflow region of the through-channel immediately downstream of the valve seat on an outflow side has an inwardly curved contour.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2019
    Assignee: VAG—ARMATUREN GMBH
    Inventors: Carl Schultz, Heribert Herold
  • Patent number: 10344873
    Abstract: A control or shutoff valve with a housing includes a valve seat arranged within housing between feed and a discharge, and a shutoff element arranged to be moveable relative to the valve seat in the housing. At least one feed channel leading to the valve seat is arranged in the housing to supply a pressure medium to reduce cavitation phenomena.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10125882
    Abstract: A venting and/or bleeding valve with a valve housing, a main valve arranged in the valve housing for rapid venting and bleeding of piping connected to the valve housing, an auxiliary valve arranged in the valve housing for operating ventilation of the piping at operating pressure, and a float arranged within the valve housing and controlling the main valve and the auxiliary valve as a function of the filling level of a fluid located in the valve housing. The venting and/or bleeding valve contains a valve position sensor for acquisition of the position of the main valve, at least one additional sensor for acquisition of the humidity and/or the pressure and/or of the temperature in an interior space of the valve housing, and an evaluation unit for acquisition of an operating state of the venting and/or bleeding valve as a function of the values acquired by the valve position sensor and any additional sensor.

  • Patent number: 10094477
    Abstract: A butterfly valve with a valve disk mounted to swivel about an axis of rotation inside a housing and torsionally rigidly connected to a drive shaft pivotably mounted inside the housing. To ensure a connection which, from the standpoint of production engineering, is simple, yet secure, the valve disk is torsionally rigidly connected to the drive shaft by means of a minimum of two tapered pins engaging opposite sides of the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 9625054
    Abstract: A shut-off flap with a flap-shaped shut-off element, which is supported within a housing in such a way that it can swivel around a rotation axis and which contains a flap disk staggered relative to the rotation axis and lateral hubs to hold two drive shafts which are supported in such a way that they can rotate in the housing. In order to make possible an improvement of the throughflow and a reduction of the actuation torque, flow deflection elements are located on the two hubs.
