摘要： A closure cap comprises a base having at an inner side thereof an annular gland for receiving an annular seal. The annular gland has a bottom surface and an annular side surface depending from the bottom surface. A skirt depends from base and has an internal fastening thread for attaching the cap to a correspondingly but externally threaded body. Additionally, the annular side surface of the annular gland has a venting thread depending from the bottom surface of the gland to enable venting of air that may otherwise be trapped behind the annular seal when fitted in the gland. Also disclosed is a method of molding the cap.

摘要翻译： 闭合盖包括底座，在其内侧具有用于接收环形密封件的环形压盖。 环形压盖具有从底表面垂下的底表面和环形侧表面。 裙部从底座延伸，并具有内部紧固螺纹，用于将盖子附接到相应但外部螺纹的主体。 此外，环形密封套的环形侧表面具有从密封件的底表面悬垂的通气螺纹，以便当安装在密封套中时可以排出空气，否则可能被封闭在环形密封件的后面。 还公开了一种模制盖的方法。

摘要： An air-conditioning service plug-type valve includes a valve body having a chamber. First and second openings extend through the valve body. The air conditioning plug-type valve also includes a stem having a plug portion configured for being received in the chamber of the valve body. The stem, when the plug portion is received in the chamber, is rotatable relative to the valve body between a closed position blocking fluid communication between the first and second openings of the valve body and an open position enabling fluid communication between the first and second openings of the valve body. The plug portion includes a fluid blocking portion located immediately adjacent the first opening when the stem is in the closed position. A groove extends into a peripheral surface of the plug portion defining the fluid blocking portion. A seal is disposed in the groove and extends between the plug portion and the valve body. The seal, when located in the groove, is stretched by at least a predetermined amount. The predetermined amount is an amount sufficient to offset refrigeration medium absorption effects thereon.

摘要： The present invention provides a service valve body for a heating/cooling system. The valve body has a main body, a charge port stem, and first and second stems, all of which are monolithic with one another (e.g., formed in one piece) such that there are no seams, joints, or brazed connections between the components. The charge port and valve stem contained therein may be angled relative to the axis of the first and/or second stem.

摘要： An air conditioning service valve includes a valve body with a pair of tubes extending from the valve body. The tubes have respective first ends, proximal to the valve body, that extend away from the valve body at nonzero angles to one another, such as substantially perpendicular. One of the tubes has a bend, such that second ends of the tubes, distal to the valve body, are substantially parallel to one another. The air conditioning service valve may be mounted to a bracket without use of fasteners, for example with the valve body engaging edges, tangs, and/or tabs of the bracket. The valve body also has a stem port and a charge port, with the stem port parallel to the second ends of the tubes. The arrangement of the tubes allows use of a smaller valve body, while also reducing pressure drop relative to prior Z-flow valves.

摘要翻译： 空调维修阀包括具有从阀体延伸的一对管的阀体。 这些管具有彼此靠近阀体的相应的第一端，其以非零的角度彼此延伸离开阀体，例如基本垂直。 其中一个管具有弯曲，使得管的远离阀体的管的第二端基本上彼此平行。 空调维修阀可以不使用紧固件而安装到支架上，例如阀体接合支架的边缘，柄脚和/或突出部。 阀体还具有阀杆端口和充气口，阀杆端口平行于管的第二端。 管的布置允许使用较小的阀体，同时还减少相对于现有Z流量阀的压降。
