Patent number: 6059262Abstract: The valve operator of the present invention provides an apparatus and method for reducing torque necessary for opening and closing a valve, such as a quarter-turn rotary valve. In the preferred embodiment, an outer handle adaptor has inner curved tracks that drive balls positioned in straight slots of a middle cylinder. As the balls move in the straight slots, they transfer torque energy to a valve shaft adaptor mounted within the middle cylinder and having outer curved threads that mesh with the balls. The pitch of the curved tracks of the outer handle differ from the pitch the curved tracks of the valve shaft adaptor to thereby effect a desired torque reduction ratio. The valve operator has relatively few components, at least three or more relatively rotatable components, preferably arranged in meshing configuration so as to effect a small size operator without the use of a gear box.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1998Date of Patent: May 9, 2000Assignee: Gulf Technologies International, L.C.Inventors: David G.

Patent number: 4989830Abstract: A rotatable valve stem in a fluid (e.g. water) hydrant controls the axial position of a plug relative to a valve seat to control fluid-flow through the valve seat. The valve stem is threaded into a bushing of the hydrant so that rotational movement of the stem causes axial movement thereof. According to the invention, rotation of such valve stem is motorized by the coupling of a rotatably-driven drive shaft of an electric motor to the valve stem. The motor and, optionally, a gearing arrangement are enclosed by a protective housing supported by the hydrant. The motor is slidably mounted within the protective housing to accommodate axial movement of the motor caused by the axial movement of the valve stem and its coupled motor drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1990Date of Patent: February 5, 1991Assignee: Ratnik Industries, Inc.Inventor: H.

Patent number: 4945941Abstract: In a check valve or stop/check valve comprising a housing having an inlet port, an outlet port and a valve seat between the two ports, a valve disc moves axially within a valve housing between open and closed positions, so that fluid flow applies pressure against the valve disc to automatically open the valve, but when the fluid stops or reverses, the valve automatically closes to prevent backwash. Under conditions of pulsating, low-volume fluid flow, a ridge on the valve seat and a deflector ring on the valve disc deflects the flow of fluid, thereby using the velocity of fluid to increase pressure against the valve disc so as to smoothly and gently move the valve disc, reduce vibration of the valve disc and prevent it from striking the valve seat.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1990Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: Vilter Manufacturing CorporationInventor: Erich J. Kocher

Patent number: 4341370Abstract: A New Three Stage 15,000 p.s.i. Balanced Valve, controlling fluid flows and pressures equally well in either direction, giving dependable leak proof operation with a very low control force.The first stage acts to gradually cut off the flow as a metering pin enters the orifice, the second stage seat is a standard 45 degree poppet valve closing directly after the metering pin cuts off the flow, the third stage positive shut off is made by teflon under extreme pressure forming a cut off point between the metering pin and the inside walls of the orifice, just below the 45 degree poppet valve.This needed high contact pressure is created by a unique pressure multiplier, a system in which the metering pin causes the self lubricated teflon to be telescoped smoothly without obstruction into a slightly smaller confinement while the valve is being fully closed. A coil compression spring is used to restore the teflon back into the low pressure confinement.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1980Date of Patent: July 27, 1982Inventor: George W. Banks

Patent number: 4166607Abstract: An improved bellows valve is disclosed having a relatively long bellows attached at one end to the valve control stem and at its other end to a recessed bellows mounting in the valve bonnet. The recessed attachment permits the use of a relatively long bellows with a valve bonnet of minimal size and mass and permits a wide valve opening with a relatively small valve port. Such a small valve port requires a low closing force for the stem and the use of a wide opening resists clogging. An anti-torque member connected between the valve bonnet and the valve stem prevents stem rotation to isolate the bellows from undesirble rotation during the axial stem and bellows movement.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1976Date of Patent: September 4, 1979Assignee: Hoke, Inc.Inventor: Maurice J.
