    摘要: An actuator base, bobbin, and pole piece form a pocket for an armature that a flexible membrane encloses to form an armature chamber filled with an incompressible fluid. The membrane protects the armature from exposure to corrosive fluids flowing in a conduit. Conduit flow can be stopped by driving the membrane against a valve seat. Pressure from the controlled fluid in the conduit is transmitted through the membrane to the fluid within the armature chamber so that the armature does not need to counteract force applied to the membrane by the conduit fluid's pressure.

    摘要: An actuator base (16), bobbin (14), and pole piece (24) form a pocket for an armature (30) that a flexible membrane (40) encloses to form an armature chamber filled with an incompressible fluid. The membrane (40) protects the armature (30) from exposure to corrosive fluids flowing in a conduit (44). Conduit flow can be stopped by driving the membrane (40) against a valve seat (54). Pressure from the fluid in the conduit (44) is transmitted though the membrane to the fluid within the armature chamber so that the armature does not need to counteract force applied to the membrane (40) by the conduit fluid's pressure.

    摘要: A variable compression piston assembly includes a plurality of pistons, a transition arm coupled to each of the pistons, and a rotating member mounted for pivoting movement to slide along an axis of the drive member. Movement of the rotating member relative to the drive member changes the compression ratio of the piston assembly. An engine assembly includes first and second piston assemblies mounted back-to-back and 180° out of phase. A joint for positioning between first and second pistons includes an outer member and an inner member. The outer member is configured for movement relative to the pistons along a first axis perpendicular to the common axis of the pistons. The inner member is mounted within the outer member for rotation relative to the outer member about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and the common axis.

    摘要: A valve device and a method for operating at least two valves is actuated by an actuator and arranged for controlling fluid flow in at least two separate fluid lines. The two valves are preferably diaphragm operated valves, but may be also piston valves. The valve device includes a pressure release mechanism constructed to change pressure in a diaphragm chamber of each diaphragm operated valve and thereby open or close the valve. The pressure release mechanism may include a fluid passage in communication with each diaphragm chamber, where it is simultaneously controlled by a movement of a single sealing member actuated by a single actuator. The valve device may also include a manual actuator.

    摘要: A tank-type flusher including an intake valve, a diaphragm-operated flush valve, a pressure control mechanism. The intake valve is connected to an external water source and constructed to close water flow to a water storage tank at about a predefined water level in the water tank. The diaphragm-operated flush valve is constructed to control a flush valve member between a seated state and an unseated state that allows water discharge from the water tank into a toilet bowl. The diaphragm separates a pressure chamber and a pilot chamber. The diaphragm is arranged to seal the pressure chamber to maintain pressure forcing the flush valve member to the seated state thereby preventing the water discharge from the water storage tank to the toilet bowl. The pressure control mechanism is constructed an arranged, upon actuation, to reduce pressure in the pilot chamber of the diaphragm-operated flush valve thereby reduce pressure in the pressure chamber causing the water discharge. The tank-type flusher also includes a manifold that supplies pressurized water through a pressurizer conduit to the pressure chamber. A check valve maintains the pressure in the pressure chamber that keeps the flush valve closed, despite loss in source pressure.

    摘要: A remote valve (46) controls relief of pressure by way from a pilot-valve chamber (38) whose pressure in turn controls pressure relief pressure chamber (24) by which a pressurized-water source holds a flush valve (12) seated in a flush opening at the base of a toilet tank (18). An actuator chamber defined by a housing (74) and flexible diaphragms (72) and (94) contains an incompressible fluid, and the user's depression of a push button (44) causes that fluid to be displaced through a check valve (100) so as to displace a valve member (102), which is coupled to one of the flexible diaphragms, from a sealing position to an unsealing position, where it permits flow from a valve inlet (104) to a valve outlet (48). This relieves the pressure that holds the flush valve (12) closed. A spring (101) biases the valve member (102) to a rest position, to which it tends to return when the user releases the push button (44). But the check valve (100) restricts the incompressible fluid's flow path to a small bleed orifice (112). This imposes a time delay before valve member (102) can return to its sealing position and thus cause the flush valve (12) again to close. The time delay ensures adequate flushing flow.
