  • Patent number: 11454328
    Abstract: A safe, economical, lightweight, ergonomic, and easy to use improved hand valve capable of handling high pressures with either air or liquid media for use in industrial environments. The industrial high pressure hand valve is of the type similar to a floating ball check valve, but with a unique way of achieving the sealing engagement that provides a completely positive shutoff so that absolutely no leakage of the air or liquid media occurs whether operated at high or low pressures. The industrial high pressure hand valve is comprised of a valve body, an ergonomic handle grip, a live swivel, a hose barb, and a nozzle for either air or liquid media. The industrial high pressure hand valve is designed in such a way that other accessory components, such as extended nozzles, can be threadably connected thereto. A handle connected to the valve body controls the flow of the media and when released provides an automatic and completely positive shutoff.

  • Patent number: 10234055
    Abstract: An inexpensive, simple, effective, and easily implementable locking device for use with directional control valves that allows for the valve to be securely locked in a desired operating position, thereby preventing unauthorized, inadvertent or otherwise undesired manipulation of the valve minimizing potentially damaging or injurious conditions. The locking device has an adjustable locking plate and a fixed locking bracket, both of which are adapted to the valve using the valve's existing components for ease of installation and adaptation and so the normal operation of the valve is not impeded. The adjustable locking plate is mounted to the valve over the valve stem. The fixed locking bracket mounts to the valve body using the valve's existing bolts and nuts. Locking holes in the adjustable locking plate and fixed locking bracket line up and allow for the valve to be securely locked in a desired operating position with a locking member.
