  • Patent number: 7849575
    Abstract: A seal removal tool includes a hollow cylindrical member, an advancing device, and a extracting device. The cylindrical member has an open, circular first end with a barbed knife-edge that has a perimeter with a diameter substantially equal to an inside diameter of an inner circular edge of an annular seal fitting snuggly around an exposed end of a shaft. A second end of the cylindrical member is partially closed with an enlarged threaded opening therein. The advancing device comprises a first threaded elongated rod element and a pressing portion for pressing against the partially closed second end. The extracting device comprises a second threaded elongated rod element having an enlarged tip for engaging the exposed end of the shaft after disengaging the advancing device. The enlarged tip is configured to screw into an enlarged threaded opening in the cylindrical member and to advance axially and press against the exposed end of the shaft as the second threaded elongated rod element is rotated.

  • Patent number: 5722454
    Abstract: A fluid flow device has a body which includes an inlet and an outlet with a valve seat therebetween. A valve stem having a valve member thereon is mounted in the body, and the valve member is operably connected to a diaphragm which separates a region within the body into a pair of separate pressure chambers. A fluid passage is formed in the body communicating one pressure chamber with upstream pressure in the inlet, while the other pressure chamber communicates with downstream pressure in the outlet. A pressure differential between the chambers will normally hold the valve member in an open position against the action of a biasing means, until the pressure differential reaches a predetermined amount, whereby the valve member is slowly closed until fluid flow through the device is stopped.

  • Patent number: 3980229
    Abstract: A temperature controlled regulator in which valved air inlets communicated with air pressure sources at different temperatures control the flow of air into a mixing chamber to maintain the outlet temperature of the mixture within specified limits, said regulator being characterized in that the valve actuator has first and second chambers on opposite sides thereof respectively exposed to the pressure of the mixture and to a reduced air pressure between the downstream side of a variable area orifice controlled by a temperature sensor in the regulator outlet and the upstream side of a variable area pressure control or bleed orifice, the first-mentioned variable area orifice being decreased or increased in size by decrease or increase of the mixture temperature with reference to said specified value thus to vary the pressure in said second chamber in relation to the pressure acting in said first chamber to inversely vary the air flow through said inlets thus to maintain a specified temperature of the mixture.
