Patent number: 11506318Abstract: A dual containment fitting may include a primary tubing, a secondary tubing, and a dual containment body. The secondary tubing may surround and be concentric with a first portion of the primary tubing forming a first leak containment space between the primary tubing and the secondary tubing. The dual containment body may include a flare fitting portion and a primary containment nut portion. The flare fitting portion may surround and be concentric with the primary tubing forming a second leak containment space between the primary tubing and the flare fitting portion. The primary containment nut portion may surround and be concentric with the flared end of the primary tubing forming a third leak containment space between the primary tubing and the primary containment nut portion. The primary containment nut portion may include at least one leak passage hole connecting the third leak containment space with the second leak containment space.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN PERFORMANCE PLASTICS CORPORATIONInventors: Hy B.

Patent number: 6837484Abstract: Anti-pumping dispense valves, constructed according to principles of this invention, comprise a fluid transport housing having a fluid inlet passage extending into the housing, a fluid outlet passage extending out of the housing, and a fluid transport chamber disposed within the housing. The fluid transport chamber includes an valve seat. An actuator housing is attached to the fluid transport housing and includes an actuator chamber that is in contact with the fluid transport chambers. A diaphragm/poppet assembly is disposed within the fluid transport chamber and comprises a poppet positioned downstream of the seat for placement against the seat to stop fluid flow through the first fluid transport chamber. An actuator is disposed within the actuator chamber for moving the diaphragm/poppet assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, Inc.Inventors: Kenji A. Kingsford, Mario Fregoso, Raymond T. Savard

Patent number: 6380833Abstract: An encapsulated magnet assembly comprises a non-metallic housing and a magnet disposed within a housing magnet chamber. A housing end cap is fuse bonded to the housing to encapsulate the magnet therein and form an air and fluid-tight seal with the housing. An insulating spacer is interposed between an exposed surface of the magnet and the end cap before assembly and fuse bonding, and is formed from a thermally insulating material to prevent the transmission of thermal energy to the magnet during the fuse bonding process. The insulating spacer serves to protect the magnet from unwanted thermally induced magnetic field losses. The housing also includes one or more projections that extend into the magnet chamber and that cooperate with complementary grooves in the magnet to prevent the magnet from rotating within the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1999Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CorporationInventors: Hy Ba Nguyen, Mario Fregoso, Thomas J.

Patent number: 6086039Abstract: A poppet and seat assembly comprises a poppet having a circular imperforate head portion at one poppet end and has an opposite end adapted for connection with a poppet actuator. The poppet head includes a valve seat interface surface along an outside head surface that tapers upwardly, moving radially outwardly from the head, at an angle in the range of from 8 to 25 degrees. The poppet includes a flange that extends radially around the head and that defines a terminal outside diameter edge of the poppet. The flange includes a tongue that projects axially away from the flange. A diaphragm extends radially around the poppet head and is interposed between the poppet head and the flange to enable poppet head movement relative to the flange. The poppet head, flange and diaphragm are all part of a one-piece construction. The assembly also comprises a circular poppet seat that is positioned adjacent to and opposite from the poppet.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1999Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Assignee: Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CorporationInventors: Thomas J. Sievers, Mario Fregoso

Patent number: 6000416Abstract: A valve apparatus comprises a valve body, a piston disposed within the valve body, and a rolling diaphragm poppet that is attached the piston to regulates fluid flow through the valve via interaction with a valve seat within the valve body. The valve body has a chamber extending therethrough that includes a valve seat at one chamber end that defines a fluid inlet passage into chamber. The piston disposed within the chamber and is adapted for axial displacement therein by an actuating means. The rolling diaphragm poppet is attached to an end of the piston and is of a one-piece construction. The poppet includes a head that has a circular radial cross section, and that has a frontside surface that is adapted to interface with the valve seat in the chamber to control fluid flow therethrough. The head also has a backside surface that is adapted to accommodate attachment with an end of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1997Date of Patent: December 14, 1999Assignee: Furon CompanyInventors: Kenji A. Kingsford, Anthony K. T. Chan, Mario Fregoso, David R. Martinez
