A shut-off valve assembly for regulating the flow of fluid through or from a fluid line The assembly comprises: a body attachable to or within a fluid line and having a chamber therein with inlets and an outlet for fluid from the fluid line; a valve seat that provides the outlet; a baffle arrangement including a baffle housing; a valve member having a sealing member movable between a shielded position, whereby the sealing member is substantially shielded by the baffle housing from a fluid stream moving from the inlets to outlet, and an unshielded position, whereby the sealing member can be forced by the fluid stream against the valve seat to seal the outlet; and a solenoid-spring drive for moving the sealing member between the shielded and unshielded positions.

Bite-valves are synonymous with personal hydration systems. Their action is to provide regulation of fluid that is drawn from the hydration reservoir by supplying a vacuum or by sucking like on a straw. Bite valves are placed in line and usually at the end of the line with the tube or hose that communicates with the reservoir. Bite-valves are normally closed and are opened when the person performs a biting action on the valve itself. Bite valves should provide the user with a perfect seal, high flow characteristics, and be small in size. Slit-type valves today are kinematically inefficient and as a consequence their flow rates are relatively slow compared to the inventor's bite-valve. This valve made of elastomeric material incorporates two angled slits along opposing vertical edges that are perpendicular to the biting direction or action. The general shape of the cross section at the site of the slitted septum is rectangular. The rectangular geometric shape is important in the flow dynamics of this valve. The septum, set back from the orifice's edge, is concavely biased towards the exit and is slit vertically at an angle such that the aperture is narrower on the exit side than on the fluid side and its purpose is to promote sealing at positive fluid pressures. When the bite-valve is pinched as from a biting action the concavely biased septum folds on itself while the side walls bulge away from each other, and form two fluid paths of a semi-circular cross section, one on each side. In addition to the formation of two fluid paths they are smooth in transition from the tubular central path and allow for flow rates almost twice that of bite-valves with a single slit of similar size.

A severe service control valve is disclosed and which comprises a valve body having an inlet, an outlet, and a flow passage extending between the inlet and the outlet, an elongated valve contour disposed within the valve body, a tubular valve sleeve disposed within the valve body and having an end sized to be received over the valve contour, the valve sleeve having a sidewall surrounding a bore, an outer surface and an inner surface, with at least a portion of the bore disposed along the flow passage. The valve sleeve is shiftably mounted within the valve body for movement between a first position and a second position, the valve sleeve cooperating with the valve contour to close the flow passage when the valve sleeve is in the first position. A plurality of flow apertures are defined through the sidewall of the valve sleeve and define a flow path between the outer surface of the valve sleeve and the inner surface of the valve sleeve, the apertures arranged on the sidewall to be positioned in the flow passage when the valve sleeve is moved toward the second position.

A bubble-actuated valve with latching may be utilized to regulate fluid flow in any number of applications, including the controlled delivery of drugs or other bioactive agents or compounds. The bubble-actuated valve utilizes the bubble to move a solid object that does the actual blocking of the flow channel to regulate the flow of liquid through the valve. The bubble-actuated valve may also include a latching mechanism. One such latching mechanism utilizes the capillary attraction between the solid object and neighboring walls to latch the solid object in place when the valve is not actuated.

A valve gear includes a valve (30), which controls a flow rate of a fluid and an opening of which is determined according to a rotational position of a valve element, an actuator (20) for providing a rotational force to a rotary valve shaft that changes the opening of the valve (30), and attaching/detaching means for detachably attaching the valve to the actuator (20). The attaching/detaching means includes a locking element (32) formed at its prescribed positions with locking concave/convex portions and an engaging element (22) formed at its prescribed positions with engaging concave/convex portions. The locking element (32) and the engaging element (22) are relatively rotatable around the rotary valve shaft up to a prescribed angle. The engaging element (22) and the locking element (32) prevent the actuator (20) from coming off the valve (30) at an engaging position where the engaging concave/convex portions and the locking concave/convex portions are engaged with one another, and allow the actuator (20) and the valve (30) to be detached from each other at a disengaging position where the engagement between the engaging concave/convex portions and the locking concave/convex portions is released.

A valve assembly includes a valve body and a valve actuator which is releasably engageable with the valve body. The valve body has an internal cavity within which a valve member is located, and a valve stem is interconnected with the valve body and is accessible from the exterior of the valve body. The valve body further includes a mounting member, and the valve actuator is selectively engageable with the mounting member. The valve actuator includes a latch member which is movable between a latching position and a release position. The mounting member includes a slot, and the latch member has a blocking member that is received within the slot when the latch member is in its latching position, to prevent removal of the valve actuator from the valve body. The latch member is manually movable to a release position, in which the blocking member is removed from the slot in the mounting member to enable the valve actuator to be disengaged from the mounting member. The valve actuator includes a motor which drives a gear assembly for selectively imparting rotation to the valve member. The motor is secured to a mounting member such as a mounting plate. The mounting plate includes one or more walls that are exposed to the exterior of the valve actuator, such that heat from operation of the motor is conducted via the mounting plate away from the motor to the one or more walls for dissipation into the surrounding environment.

The invention relates to a rotating regulating device (1), especially for a valve comprising a pivotable or rotatable valve body. Said device comprises at least one actuating device (2) for rotating a regulating element (3) which can be connected to the valve body in a moveable manner. The aim of the invention is to improve one such rotating regulating device in such a way that it is precise and reproducible, and can be especially automatically actuated. In order to achieve this, the regulating element (3) is a rotating collar (4) which is rotationally positioned in relation to a bearing collar (5), and the actuating device (2) comprises at least one mechanism (6) which converts a linear movement into a rotational movement.

An air turbine starter valve able to open despite being frozen shut. Dual actuators apply sufficient torque upon an air turbine starter valve to overcome obstructions presented by frozen moisture. By applying separate and generally-aligned torques, the actuators are able to provide sufficient force to overcome the adhesion provided by frozen moisture between the valve plate and adjacent structures.
