  • Publication number: 20040261846
    Abstract: An allowable angle of a float valve member with respect to a valve case is so set that a deformed direction, as caused by a gate position at a injection molding time, of a inner circumference of a communication hole of the valve case with respect to a roundness and a deformed direction, as caused by a gate position at a injection molding time, of an outer circumference of a crest portion of the float valve member with respect to the roundness may be substantially aligned. Between the valve case and the float valve member, there is an interposed angle regulating unit for preventing the angle of the float valve member with respect to the valve case from varying over the allowable angle.

  • Patent number: 6827098
    Abstract: The first seal seat is disposed in a first passage of a case. The first float valve body is disposed in the case and closes the first seal seat in response to the liquid level of the fuel. The second seal seat is disposed vertically above the first seal seat, in a second passage of the case. The second valve body is disposed on one side of the second seal seat communicating to the outside of the second passage, with being resiliently urged upwards from below. The second float is disposed in the case and regulates an upper end position of the second valve body to open the second valve seat in response to movement of the liquid level of fuel at least until the liquid level is higher than the liquid level at which the first float valve body closes the first seal seat.

  • Patent number: 5823351
    Abstract: A pair of box-like device halves are molded from polyethylene terephthalate or like elastic material. Each device half has a horizontal edge wall having a protuberance and a recess, and also raised guides and recessed guides, and it also has a downwardly convex semiconductor accommodation wall formed between its opposite side walls for accommodating semiconductor crystal. The device half further has legs extending to a greater extent than the arcuate sectional profile outer surface of the semiconductor accommodation wall. Semiconductor crystal is set in one of the device halves, which is then covered by the other device half such that the raised guides and recessed guides of the two device halves engage one another and that the protuberances and recesses engage one another. The semiconductor crystal is thus accommodated in the device halves such that it is pushed by the elastic forces of the semiconductor accommodation walls.

  • Patent number: 5564466
    Abstract: A negative pressure cut valve disposed between a feed pipe and a forward pipe includes a main body having a first outer wall and a second outer wall, an urging spring provided on the first outer wall, a diaphragm provided on the main body and actuated by the relative action of the force of the urging spring and the inner pressure on the feed pipe side to produce an opening action in the state in which the inner pressure on the feed pipe side rises is above the inner pressure on the forward pipe side and a closing action in the other pressure state, and a valve provided on the main body and actuated to produce an opening action in the state in which the inner pressure on the feed pipe side falls below the inner pressure on the forward pipe side and a closing action in the other pressure state. The first outer wall has a first atmospheric vent formed therein.
