  • Patent number: 5505226
    Abstract: A sturdy mount is provided between a valve body bonnet (38) and a actuator frame (21) to reduce the transfer of heat from a valve body (39) to a actuator frame (21). Holes (18) in legs (28 a b c) reduce heat transfer through legs (28 a b c). Heat shield (27) blocks radiant heat from a hot valve body from reaching the actuator frame (21) and also acts as a radiator of heat to the surrounding air. Bolt (30) is free to move through bushing (26) located in the center of heat shield (27). Jamb nut (24) and spring plate (23) am screwed on to the threaded end of bolt (30). Legs (28 a b c) are attached to heat shield (27) with welds (19) on one edge to allow legs (28 a b c) to be spread slightly when installing on valve body bonnet (38). Slots (17) in legs (28 ) snap in place around valve body bonnet (38) Hose clamp (29) pulls legs (28 a b c) tightly to the valve body bonnet (38) creating a sturdy mount for heat shield (27) and attached actuator mount (25).
