  • Patent number: 8176935
    Abstract: A fuel vapor control valve comprising a housing fitted with an inlet port connectable to a fuel tank and an outlet port connectable to a fuel vapor recovery device. The inlet port and the outlet port are in flow communication via a first valve controlled passage admitting fuel vapor flow in a direction from the inlet port to the outlet port only when pressure within the fuel tank exceeds a threshold. A second valve controlled passage admits vapor flow in an opposite direction from the outlet port to the inlet port only when pressure within the fuel tank drops below pressure at the fuel vapor recovery device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8109285
    Abstract: A roll-over vent valve comprising a housing formed with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a valve seating bounding an outlet aperture of the housing, a float member received within the housing and axially displaceable between a sealed position wherein a sealing member thereof sealingly bears against the valve seating of the outlet aperture to seal the fluid outlet, and an open position wherein the sealing member is disengaged from the valve seating whereby the fluid outlet is in flow communication with the fluid inlet. There is further provided a pressure-retention device extending intermediate the valve seating and the fluid outlet, to thereby shut fluid flow therebetween as long as pressure differential between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet does not exceed a minimal pressure threshold.

  • Patent number: 8091583
    Abstract: Disclosed is a valve having a housing formed with a downstream port and an upstream port, with an axially displaceable plunger biased into sealing engagement of a major flow path extending between the downstream port and the upstream port for admitting flow only in the upstream direction, with the plunger formed having a normally closed minor flow path for admitting flow only in a downstream direction.

  • Publication number: 20090126805
    Abstract: A valve (10) comprising a housing (12) formed with a downstream port (14) and an upstream port (28), with an axially displaceable plunger (34) biased into sealing engagement of a major flow path (78) extending between the downstream port (14) and the upstream port (28) for admitting flow only in the upstream direction. The plunger is formed with a normally closed minor flow path (86) for admitting flow only in a downstream direction.

  • Patent number: 7207347
    Abstract: A valve comprising a housing accommodating a first and a second outlet port, a first stage float member associated with the first outlet port and a second stage float member associated with the second outlet port. The float members are displaceable within the housing about parallel axes, between an open position and a closed position. The first stage float member at least partially overlaps over the second stage float member.
