摘要： A pressure regulator having a housing with an inlet port and an outlet port. A plug is located within the housing and dividing the housing into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, with the upper and lower chamber being connected by a vent. The plug includes a fluid path between the inlet port and the bore. A yoke is adapted selectively close the fluid path in the plug. A diaphragm is located in the upper chamber and is connected to the yoke. A biasing member biases the yoke to open the fluid path through the plug. The diaphragm is configured to move the yoke to open the fluid path when pressure in the lower chamber and vented to the upper chamber through the vent is above a predetermined amount. The pressure regulator can also include a second biasing member used to positively close the fluid path through the plug.

摘要： A boost-enhanced gas pressure regulator consists of a bonnet and a body (main casing) that are secured together so as to capture a pressure-responsive diaphragm between both components. The body has an inlet port and one or more outlet ports. An actuator providing a camming means, preferably in the form of a pair of spaced control channels, is connected to the diaphragm to be moved with and by the latter. The camming means/control channels engage a corresponding pair of control pins on opposite sides of a movable boost tube, such that there is a direct-acting connection between the diaphragm and boost tube. The boost tube has external guide surfaces which serve to guide and control its movement, and it also has an internal gas flow passage in which a valve seat disk (valve member) is mounted. The boost tube is restricted to travel in a linear fashion with respect to an inlet orifice/valve seat by a plurality of mutually spaced guides that are an integral part of the orifice insert, upon which certain contact areas of the guide surfaces on the boost tube are slidable. The control channels, control pins, guide surfaces, and contact areas are designed to cooperatively mount the boost tube so as to position and guide it in precise, low-friction motion that mechanically induces a velocity boosting effect.

摘要： A pressure regulator having a base and a bonnet. The base includes a plurality of upstanding ridges, with an opening being defined between each of the ridges. The bonnet includes a peripheral rim having a plurality of engagement tabs located within each of the openings defined by the ridges of the base. The base is connected to the bonnet by folding the ridges over the peripheral rim of the bonnet. The ridges include side surfaces that mate with side edges of the engagement tabs to maintain the peripheral rim of the bonnet against the ridges as tension is applied to the peripheral rim that forces the peripheral rim away from the ridges. The bonnet also includes a plurality of interference tabs that engage an interior surface of the ridges before the ridges are folded over the peripheral rim of the bonnet to maintain the bonnet in proper position.
