Abstract: The flow controlling valve, particularly mounted in a pipe flange structure, comprises a cylindrical housing, a flow passage whose cross section is controllable, a valve seat, and a valve member and at least one auxiliary valve mounted in the housing. The valve seat is formed as a mushroom member whose mushroom head has an edge with an adjacent seating surface and whose stem is connected to at least one supporting cross piece extending across the flow passage. The valve member is a spring-loaded hollow piston guided in the housing whose interior space forms the flow passage which is mounted with its inner edge positionable on the seating surface of the mushroom head. The auxiliary valve has a spring-loaded auxiliary stopper member with an associated auxiliary valve seat which controls a flowing medium branching from the main flow by a metering element.

Abstract: The valve assembly for the control of flow of liquid from a source of liquid at high pressure to a place of use has at least one restrictive orifice adjacent a movable valve member and valve seat to provide pressure drops in series in the liquid each of which pressure drops is of a magnitude sufficient to maintain the liquid pressure above the vapor pressure of the liquid at the inlet of the valve assembly so that cavitation does not occur. The restrictive orifice varying in flow area automatically in direct proportion to the variable flow area between said movable valve member and the valve seat.

Abstract: A controllable two-way valve for pressure and/or flow control uses a cup-shaped piston, the bottom of which forms a large effective surface area exposed to a control flow through a slit which cooperates with an edge of the slider also serving to define the main flow cross section between an inlet and an outlet. A stationary compensating piston within this slider vents the interior of the slider and a control valve set connected to a spring chamber through which the control flow passes regulates the pressure applied to the slider in the spring compartment.

Abstract: A self-contained, pilot-operated valve is provided with a plug for controlling the flow of a fluid through an orifice between inlet and outlet openings. A spring located about a stem projecting from the plug urges the plug into sealing engagement with the orifice. By means of a bellows surrounding the spring and having one end connected to the stem, an interior space is created, which space is in communication with the inlet opening through a restricted conduit. The interior space is also in communication with the outlet opening via a pilot valve. Operation of the pilot valve controls the pressure in the interior bellows space and hence the degree to which the bellows is compressed. This compression affects the plug stem and hence the position of the plug with respect to the valve seat.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic blocking valve, a so-called holding valve (10), the shutting-off member of which consists of a movable ball (16) coacting with a seat (17) in an inlet chamber (24). The space (15) on the side of the ball opposite its seat forms an operating chamber (15), and both chambers are joined by a constriction passage (13) counteracting flow of hydraulic liquid between the chambers. The operating chamber (15) is in communication with valve means (32) by the aid of which the pressure in the operating chamber can be heavily reduced, e.g. by being taken to a tank (44), resulting in that the ball (16) is thrust from its seat (17) to open the valve. A throttling means (25, 26) simultaneously comes into action for reducing the flow, i.e. liquid loss through the valve means (32) from the operating chamber (15). When the valve means is subsequently closed, pressure is once again built up against the ball so that the latter is pushed towards its seat (17) for closing the valve (10).

Abstract: A servo valve controlled hydrant valve for aircraft fueling has a removable adaptor for the hose coupling and includes a clamping device which assures that the servo valve is deactuated before the adaptor housing can be unbolted for removal. Deactuation of the servo valve closes the vent line in a piston-cylinder main valve arrangement thereby assuring closure of the main valve.

Abstract: A metering apparatus for controlling the rate of closure of a pressure-actuated valve of a type normally used in irrigation systems. When a pressure-actuated valve is closing, fluid from a supply line must flow into a pressure-actuating chamber, gradually filling it to force the valve's plug member against its seat. The metering apparatus is a compressible spring through which fluid must flow to enter this pressure-actuating chamber. As the valve closes, it compresses the spring through which the fluid must flow, thereby restricting the rate of flow into the pressure-actuating chamber. This reduction in flow reduces the rate at which the valve's plug member approaches its seat in an exponential manner, allowing rapid closure at first which is reduced considerably as the plug approaches its seat.

Abstract: A flow control valve of the type in which flow through the valve is controlled by means of a diaphragm which operates by differential pressure on its opposite faces to move between open and closed positions with respect to the flow path through the valve. In this type of valve an aperture is formed through the diaphragm to place its opposite faces in communication with the pressure existing in the flow path through the valve and a metering rod extends through the aperture in the diaphragm to meter flow through the aperture and maintain it free of foreign material. The metering rod in the valve of the present invention is mounted so that it can move about one of its ends to allow it to accommodate non-uniform movement of the diaphragm and prevent binding of the metering rod in the diaphragm aperture.

Abstract: A pressure operated shut-off valve for controlling a pneumatic circuit for instance a supply passage of a pneumatic tool, in response to the motive air supply pressure. The valve comprises a valve body that is continuously biased in its closing direction by a spring means and in its opening diection by the motive air supply pressure. If the air pressure drops below a predetermined minimum value the valve is automatically shifted to a closed position by the load of the spring means. A valve body controlled passage means supplies pressure air to the rear end of the valve body as the latter occupies its closed position, thereby making the closed position stable.

Abstract: The invention is an automatic flow control valve. The rolling cluster of a olamite is biased by the constant force due to the vertical component of gravity on the mass of the rolling cluster. The band of the rolling cluster progressively covers or exposes a porous passage which is integral with one of the rolling planes of the rollamite. Fluid flows through the porous passage and past the rollamite band.The rolamite valve of this invention may be selectively modified to become, alternately, a remotely operated fluidic control valve, an automatic self-regulating volumetric flow control valve, an automatic self-regulating flow control valve for maintaining a constant output pressure, a vapor trap valve, and an automatic self-regulating flow control valve for maintaining a constant input pressure.
