  • Trimodal air/fluid driven sash operator fume hood
    Patent number: 5759096
    Abstract: A fume hood sash operator and fume hoods containing such sash operators. The sash operator is constructed to operate from a pressure fluid cylinder which has no outside operating parts with respect to the movement of the piston in the cylinder. The unique construction of the pressure fluid cylinder makes it very useful for fume hood construction because of the overall small dimensions of the pressure fluid cylinder and the ability to start the piston by overcoming the inertia of the piston using very low air or fluid pressures.
