  • Publication number: 20200096012
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for interruption of a fluid flow along a fluid flow path passing through the valve, the valve includes an inlet adapter, a valve body connected to the inlet adapter, a seal arranged between the inlet adapter and the valve body with a seal opening through the seal for the fluid flowing when the valve is open, a motor control gear unit, and a sealing body with a ball segment-shaped sealing surface element and bearing element arranged on the side of the sealing surface element. The sealing body is mounted within the valve body so as to be rotatable around an axis running substantially perpendicular to the fluid flow path and through the bearing element.

  • Patent number: 9625039
    Abstract: An electric motor driven valve for use in gas meters, has at least one valve unit (V) with a valve body and a valve element, a drive unit (A) and a connection unit (S). The units (V, A, S) can be connected to each other and separated from each other, in a modular manner. The valve element is a spherical or cylindrical valve element that is sealed relative to the valve body by means of only one sealing element, which is preferably a lip seal. The valve body has two recesses in which the valve element is rotatably mounted.

  • Patent number: 9151653
    Abstract: A gas meter with integrated gas shut-off valve has a housing with a gas inlet and a gas outlet. A device to record the gas flow, a meter mechanism, a gas shut-off valve and optionally a pressure reducer are positioned in a gas flow path between the gas inlet and the gas outlet. The gas shut-off valve is an electrically operated valve with a spherical or cylindrical valve element.

  • Patent number: 8791376
    Abstract: A fluid-tight cable bushing for a ribbon cable has two profile supports. The ribbon cable extends through an opening in a penetration element, such as a housing for a switch or meter. The bushing has two profile supports each with a first flange having snap-on elements and a second flange. The first flanges extend symmetrical along and enclose the ribbon cable. To form a first fixation point, the snap-on elements are v-shaped and arranged to snap against a first end of the opening. To form a second fixation point, the second flanges extend laterally beyond a second end of the opening. A fluid-tight potting mass covers one of the fixation points. Preferably, the potting mass is disposed in a recess formed in the penetration element about the opening.
