摘要： A footwear structure includes an outsole having outwardly projecting heel and metatarsal bulges joined by a resticted channel, the bulges and channel all opening at an interior surface of the outsole. A flexible bladder is disposed against the interior surface of the outsole and has a generally horseshoe-shaped pocket straddling the heel cavity of the outsole and a pair of matatarsal pockets respective disposed upon opposite lateral sides of the metatarsal cavity of the outsole, the ends of the bladder heel pocket being respectively joined to the metatarsal pockets by restricted passageways to from a closed fluid-containing system. The bladder pockets are respectively accommodated in recesses in an inner surface of a midsole which is secured to the interior surface of the outsole for closing the outsole cavities and restricted channel to form another closed fluid-containing system.

摘要： A flush valve assembly includes a resilient pinch tube disposed in a conduit between a pressurized water source and a toilet flush tank and is pinched closed by a piston disposed in a cylinder formed in a bracket mounted on the conduit. The piston is engageable by a float which moves it between closed and open positions with changes in water level. A tube connects the source to the cylinder. When the float moves to the closing position it closes a drain port in the cylinder so that water pressure in the cylinder assists the piston. A manually adjustable screw on the float cammingly engages a bead on the conduit to yieldably arrest upward float movement and provide snap-action shutoff of the valve.

摘要： A shoe sole and heel member has a sole portion and a heel portion. Bulges are molded into the heel portion and the metatarsal region of the sole portion defining heel and metatarsal cavities. Passageways between the cavities enable air to move back and forth therebetween. A sealing member is attached to the sole and heel member to hermetically seal the air in the cavities and the passageways. In one embodiment, a single U-shaped heel cavity communicates with a single metatarsal cavity through a Y-shaped passageway. Rigid stabilizers laterally flank the cavity-defining bulges. In another embodiment the heel cavity has forward and rearward portions interconnected by a narrow channel, the portions respectively communicating through separate passageways with opposite sides of the metatarsal cavity, with oppositely-directed one-way valves in the passageways. In a third embodiment, there are two separate metatarsal cavities and two separate heel cavities respectively intercommunicating through two passageways.

摘要： A pinch tube proportioning valve includes support structure defining an elongated valve cavity having a longitudinal axis and a pair of spaced resilient valve tubes disposed in the cavity and respectively providing communication between two fluid supply conduits and a fluid outlet. A control cam cartridge is receivable in the valve cavity between the valve tubes. The cartridge includes a cylindrical housing closed at one end and carrying at its closed end a guide pin extending axially up through the housing and receivable in an axial bore in an elongated tapered cam member, which is telescopically received in the open end of the housing. Diametrically opposed openings are formed in the side wall of the housing for receiving the valve tubes to permit engagement thereof by the cam member, which is axially and rotatably movable to control proportioning and flow rate through the valve tubes.

摘要： A shoe sole and heel construction is provided. The construction includes a structure having an exterior ground-contacting surface, a flexible bulge formed in the structure and projecting from the exterior ground-contacting surface for contact with the ground in use and defining a first pocket. The construction also includes a second resiliently expansible pocket formed in the structure and disposed to avoid contact with the ground in use and a passageway formed in the structure and communicating with each of the first and second pockets. Fluid is permanently confined in a space jointly defined by the pockets and the passageway whereby when an external force is applied to the bulge, fluid is forced from the first pocket through the passageway to expand the second pocket and when the external force is removed, the expanded second pocket resiliently forces fluid back to the first pocket.

摘要： A shoe sole and heel structure is provided. The structure includes an outsole having interior and exterior surfaces, and a bulge projecting from the exterior surface, with the bulge defining a first cavity opening at the interior surface. The structure also includes a midsole overlying the outsole. The midsole has an outsole-facing surface and a foot-facing surface and a second cavity opening at the outsole-facing surface. The first cavity cooperates with a portion of the midsole to define a first pocket and the second cavity cooperates with a portion of the outsole to define a second pocket. The structure also includes a passageway disposed between the first and second pockets for fluid communication between the first pocket and the second pocket. The interior surface of the outsole is hermetically attached to the outsole-facing surface of the midsole to form a member having a heel portion and a sole portion and so that fluid at atmospheric pressure is permanently located in the space jointly defined by the first and second pockets and the passageway. One of the pockets can be disposed in the heel portion and the other of the pockets can be disposed in the sole portion so that in striding fluid alternates through the passageway between the pockets so as to provide shock absorption and an alternate lifting effect by the pockets which provide forward thrust both in the heel portion and the sole portion that facilitates moving.

摘要： A valve cartridge is provided. The valve cartridge includes a cartridge retainer having a cartridge axis and a generally cylindrical sidewall having first and second openings and first and second pinch tubes disposed within the cartridge retainer. The pinch tubes respectively have tube axes substantially parallel to the cartridge axis and axial bores therethrough. The valve cartridge also includes first and second poppets disposed in the first and second openings and movable in a direction not parallel with the tube axes for engagement respectively with the pinch tubes, and an actuator rotatable about and movable along the cartridge axis and encircling the cartridge retainer. The actuator has an interior surface engaging the first and second poppets and having a cylindrical portion having an inside diameter which, when engaged with the poppets, holds the poppets against the pinch tubes for closing the bores, and an eccentric portion tapering outwardly from the cylindrical portion which, when engaged with the poppets, permits variations in the cross sectional areas of the axial bores to control the rates of flow through the pinch tubes.
