  • Publication number: 20070044842
    Abstract: A valve assembly generally including a valve base having a plurality of internal conduits formed therein, at least one valve mounted to the base and in fluid communication with at least one internal conduit of the base and an override cover removably attached to the valve base. The valve has a manually activatable override element for actuating the valve and the cover has a label holder portion defining a pocket adapted to retain a label therein and a planar cover plate portion extending from the label holder portion over the override element of the valve. Thus, the cover plate portion forms a barrier for preventing accidental activation of the override element.

  • Patent number: 7014126
    Abstract: A sorting machine for diverting an article from an article stream generally includes a manifold, a first valve supported on the manifold and a second valve supported on top of the first valve. The manifold has a first blow-off conduit and a second blow-off conduit formed therein. The first blow-off conduit terminates at a first blow-off port and the second blow-off conduit terminates at a second blow-off port. The first valve is in fluid communication with the first blow-off conduit of the manifold for supplying a burst of fluid out of the manifold through the first blow-off port to divert an article from an article stream intersecting with the first blow-off port. The first valve further has a by-pass duct in fluid communication with the second blow-off conduit of the manifold.
