A valve stem extends through this tubular passageway and has a lower valve portion axially displaceable relative thereto and positioned between the inlet and outlet. A retaining ring is provided for securing the valve stem against inward movement relative to the bonnet member and an inwardly projecting flange on the bonnet member is provided for securing the valve stem against outward movement relative to the bonnet member. A packing assembly is removably secured to the bonnet member for sealing the valve assembly. An axially displaceable seal is provided in a cavity formed between the flange and the upper surface of the lower valve portion which is axially movable within the cavity by the lower valve portion.

Abstract: A shut-off valve has a housing, a wedge displaceable in the housing by a spindle, a housing opening, a cover arranged to close the housing opening and provided with a pipe, a locking screw inserted in the pipe for guiding, sealing and abutting of the spindle, and a supporting ring arranged between an outer end face of the cover pipe and an aligned collar of the screw and provided with two opposite supporting legs which abut with their lower supporting surfaces from above against a housing edge region which is adjacent to the cover pipe, so that during tightening of the locking screw which clamps the spindle collar and outwardly seals the spindle, simultaneously the cover is fixedly clamped with the housing.

Abstract: A high pressure shut-off valve has a hollow valve body with an open end, closed end and a cylindrical cavity with a cover. Aligned inlet and outlet portions form a straight bore intersecting the valve cavity. A plug valve assembly has a supporting mandrel reciprocally slidable to a position abutting the valve cavity closed end, with an end portion having a transverse valve passage and an intermediate portion for closing the valve body bore, the valve passage being aligned with the bore when retracted. An elastomeric sealing sleeve member on the mandrel seals the cavity wall around the bore when the valve is closed. A mon-rising threaded stem, operated by a hand wheel, moves the valve assembly and has a lost motion connection operable on overtravel to compress the sleeve member longitudinally along the mandrel. Metal discs supported integrally on a supporting sleeve fill holes in the sleeve member to prevent extrusion of the sleeve into the bore.

Abstract: In order to minimize wear and an over tightening effect in a shut-off valve (10) intended primarily for sanitation valves, which has a valve housing (12) a valve piston (16) that can be displaced axially by the operation of an element such as a handle (52) with a valve head (18) which can be lowered onto a valve seat (20) and raised from this and which is arranged upwards in the direction of flow relative to this, the valve piston is housed in a holding element (40) which can be displaced by means of a cylinder-shaped guide element (32) used to achieve the axial movement, which, with its (lower) edge area (36) is housed by the valve housing (12) and with the other (upper) edge area interacts with a further element (30) that holds the valve seat, in which connection the guide element together with the holding element can be rotated relative to the further element that contains the valve seat and to the valve housing (12) if the valve piston is located in its end position.

Abstract: A two piece ball valve assembly kit specifically for use with a hollow T or Y pipe joint. The valve includes a valve actuator assembly which can be connected by threads or a flanged connection to the inlet of the joint and which includes a spherical valve element which can be linearly reciprocated by rotating an operating handle. A disjointed seating element having a circular seating surface may be connected to the outlet of the pipe joint by a threaded or a flanged connection in axial alignment with the valve element. The valve element may be reciprocated within the joint against the seating surface to control fluid flow through the joint, with the joint serving as a valve housing. The ball valve also includes sealing members for excluding fluid from the valve housing when the valve is in the fully opened position. The valve assembly includes alternate embodiments usable with T or Y pipe joints.

Abstract: A high pressure shut-off valve consists of a hollow valve body having an open end, a closed end and a cylindrical cavity with a cover therefor. Aligned tubular inlet and outlet portions on opposite sides of the valve body form a continuous straight bore intersecting the cavity at a right angle thereto. A plug valve assembly positioned in the valve body cavity has a supporting mandrel a slidable therein between an extended position abutting the closed end and a retracted position some distance therefrom. The mandrel has an end portion with a laterally extending valve passage and an intermediate portion closing the valve body bore when in the extended position, the valve passage being aligned with the bore when in the retracted position. A sealing sleeve member of elastomeric material surrounds the mandrel intermediate portion and engages the entire circumferential wall of the cavity around the bore to seal against leakage when the valve is closed.

Abstract: A valve body has a chamber with a lower portion provided with inlet and outlet openings and an upper portion that includes a diaphragm seat having a surface with a presclected degree of roughness. An assembly of individual flexible metallic diaphragms is positioned in a stacked arrangement a graphite gasket positioned on the roughened diaphragm seat. A bonnet bolted to the valve body applies a downward bearing force upon the outer annular edge of the diaphragm assembly to secure the diaphragm assembly and gasket in sealing relation with the valve body to seal the chamber upper portion from the chamber lower portion. A yoke member is secured to the valve body in surrounding, spaced relation with the bonnet. A valve member has a disc portion arranged to move into and out of abutting relation with a valve seat of the valve body to control the flow of fluid under substantial pressure through the chamber.

Abstract: An adjustable guide pin arrangement for an integral power steering gear is provided. A reciprocating valve is provided within the piston of the gear to selectively distribute pressurized fluid to the end of the piston for steering action. An input shaft engages the valve to move the valve providing the input signal. An output pinion engages the piston along the side. The guide pin is mounted in the piston and has two pairs of tapered flat guide surfaces at its distal end. One pair of guide surfaces engages a corresponding tapered slot in the valve for each adjusted position. Screw threads are provided to adjustably move the pin inward for less clearance and outwart for more clearance between the guide surfaces and the sides of the slot. The taper of the distal end of the pin is approximately 2.degree.-21/2.degree.. Each quarter turn preferably provides a differential clearance of approximately 0.001 inch. A tool-engaging slot on the head of the pin provides for easy visual adjustment during assembly.

Abstract: This invention relates to a water tap in which a screw threaded valve member is operated by a handle. Between the handle and valve member there is an intermediate member which is snapped into the valve housing and transmits rotary motion from the handle to the valve member. The handle is removably connected to the intermediate member and is arranged to overlie the intermediate member so as to conceal it and retain it in snap fit engagement with the valve body.
