摘要:
The assembly, used in a valve housing (10) with a valve seat (24). has a stem (30) threadedly engaging a collar (48), the end of the stem having a flange (76) axially located in a bearing cup (34) which does not rotate and which is surrounded by resilient closure means 1901 which is moved axially by the stem (30) towards or away from the valve seat (24) A stop ring (42) about the steam (30) co-operates with a further flange (74) on the stem (30) to limit the closing movement up to a predetermined compression of the closure means (90) The closure means (90) is part of a diaphragm (38) which isolates the stem (30) and includes an axially flexible constricted neck (92) disposed about a neck (78) of the stem (30) with a pedetermined radial spacing. A furtner radial spacing between the stop nng (42) and stem is preferablv no more than 160% of the neck wall (92). The diaphragm (38) cannot be overstressed because of the stop ring 142 1 and the radial spacings. and the closure means (90) is lifted positively off the seat (24).

The suspension system comprises a self-plumbing trolley 30 and a track 10 in which the trolley can move along, the trolley including at least two counter-rotating discs 34, 36 rotatably mounted and vertically spaced apart, the discs having respective part-spherical bearing surfaces 35, 33 generated from a common centrepoint C, or from cen- trepoints on a line perpendicular to their rotary axes, but having unequal radii R" R 2 so that the surfaces generated by the radii have curvatures which are similar but are not congruent. The track has a pair of vertically spaced and oppositely directed rails 24, 25 each defining a cylindrical bearing surface 26, 27 which is generated from an axis which contains the or each centrepoint of generation of the bearing surfaces of the discs, which axis lies above the rail-contacting surface of the upper disc. When the trolley is mounted for movement along the track, the discs of the trolley will maintain mating contact with their respective rails, even when the centre line of the trolley and the track are in misalignment.

The invention is directed to a non-clogging flow restrictor for use in a faucet. The flow restrictor is slotted with the sides of the narrow slots (12, 13, 14) either parallel to each other or divergent from each other relative to the entrance side of the respective slot. However, the length of the slots (12, 13, 14) on the entrance side is considerably longer than the length of the slots on the exiting side of the restrictor. Because of this, the invention can tolerate a substantial collection of particles at the leading or flow entry edges of the slot or slots (12, 13, 14) without affecting the designed flow rate.
