Abstract:
A mixing valve (1) has a housing (3), defining a circular-cylindrical chamber (4) with several ports (10) arranged around the circumference of a cylinder casing (5), and with a first end wall (7) perpendicular to a cylinder axis (6) and an opposite second end wall (8) perpendicular to the cylinder axis (6). Inside the chamber (4) a turning slide (11) is rotatingly mounted by means of at least one O-ring (17, 18) arranged on an operating spindle (16), and by means of a circular seating (20) for an O-ring (21), which makes a tight seal with the inside of the cylinder casing (5). By both the operating spindle (16) and the seating (20) being radially displaced in a direction away from a casing wall (14) of the turning slide (11), which casing wall (14) is arranged to close at least partially one or two of the ports (10) depending upon the rotational position of the turning slide (11), the O-rings (21) are compressed when the casing wall (14) makes contact with the inside of the cylinder casing (5) and the casing wall (14) is thus pressed against the inside of the cylinder casing to make a tight seal with this.
Abstract:
A rotary-plug shut-off valve (10) of the type having a valve chamber (20) with multiple inlets includes: an actuator chamber (26); a base member (36) forming (a) an end of the actuator chamber (26) and (b) a guide (44); a vacuum-reactive member (48) movable with respect to the base member (36); a spring (54) in axial compression and rotational tension between the base member (36) and the vacuum-reactive member (48) and compressible by vacuum force on the vacuum-reactive member (48); and a piston (60) affixed to the vacuum-ractive member (48) and slidable 1) with respect to the rotary plug (22) and 2) with respect to the base member guide (44), to achieve automatic shut-off when vacuum pressures in protected line are too intense. The piston (60) is (a) slidably engaged with the guide (44) in common rotational alignment therewith in a normal operating range of their relative axial positions and (b) out of sliding engagement with the guide beyond such normal operating range of relative axial positions; when beyond such range, the spring (54) automatically turns the vauum-reactive member (48) and piston (60) and thereby the plug (22) from one inlet (18) to the other inlet (16). Preferred embodiments include an automatically-actuated vacuum-relief valve (32) to relieve vacuum pressure from the protected line after closing.
Abstract:
In a device for regulating the idling speed of an internal combustion engine (12) by controlling the quantity of fuel which can be supplied from a fuel tank (10) to the engine via at least two supply lines, the cross-section of a first valve aperture (34) is controlled by a first valve closing member (38a) and that of a second valve aperture (36) is controlled by a second valve closing member (38b). The first and second valve closing members (38a, 38b) can be moved by a servo-drive in such a way that the first and second valve apertures are arranged mutually parallel between the fuel tank and the engine's intake passage. The valve closing members (38a, 38b) are coupled in such a way that, when they are actuated, the first valve closing member (38a) always opens a flow cross-section to the first valve aperture (34) and only then does the second valve closing member (38b) open a flow cross-section to the second valve aperture (36).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a single pipe - two-way distributor (1) with a housing (2) comprising a plug chamber (4) into which open a first connection duct (5), a second connection duct (6) and a third connection duct (7), and in which a plug (3) comprising a flow duct (14) is rotatably disposed. In a distributor of this type, the characteristic curve of the flow can be configured largely independently of the position of the plug and/or of the through-flow direction. To this end, the first, second and third connection ducts (5, 6, 7) open out radially into the plug chamber (4). A first peripheral angle between the first connection duct (5) and the second connection duct (6) is equal to a second peripheral angle between the first connection duct (5) and the third connection duct (7), and a third peripheral angle between the ends (19, 20) of the flow duct (14) is equal to the first and second peripheral angles.
Abstract:
A fluid stream cock comprising a cylindrical pipe member (2) whose lower end is prearranged for its connection with the main duct (1) of the fluid stream, said member (2) also having two holes that communicate with deflecting ducts (3, 4) of said main duct, a four-position valve being inserted inside said cylindrical member (2), which valve is made up of a stationary outer member (5) having a pair of holes (6, 7) corresponding to said two holes of the pipe member, as well as of an inner rotatable member (8) having, on its side surface, a slit (10) whose free opening is of such a size as to overlap simultaneously the inside part of said pair of holes (6, 7) of said outer member, and, at a position opposite to said slit (10), a seat (11) for housing a gasket (12) of such sizes as to make a seal simultaneously on said pair of holes (6, 7), and, at a position corresponding to the upper edge, a seat housing a further gasket (14) to realize a seal in the vertical direction.

Valves (1) including an apertured body (2) allowing the passage of fluid may be sealed by a resilient closure (8) actuated by actuating means (28) so as to roll a portion of the closure (8) over the aperture (7).
Abstract:
A multi-port valve is disclosed that includes a valve body having an outer surface, an inner surface that defines an internal cavity, an upper end, a lower end, a stop member extending from the upper end, a plurality of output ports for transmitting a liquid to respective outputs, and an input port for receiving the liquid from an input. The multi-port valve also includes a directional component positioned in the internal cavity and configured to be rotated relative to the valve body, where the directional component includes a stop member and defines an outer surface that includes a channel for directing the liquid from the input port to one of the plurality of output ports when the directional component is in a first rotational position and a blocking extension that extends through the channel to prevent the channel from completely extending around the circumference. The multi-port valve also includes a cover rotationally coupled to the directional component for rotating the directional component relative to the valve body.

A volume of the two clearances is asymmetrical with respect to any point along the rotation axis.
Abstract:
A four-way distribution valve is provided that allows for efficient filling and drainage of a potable water supply and waste system including a potable water distribution manifold and water filter in a commercial aircraft galley. The water distribution valve includes a cruciform manifold having a filter drain port connected to the water filter, two supply manifold ports connected to the potable water distribution manifold, and a drainage discharge port. A rotary closure element within the cruciform manifold actuates in accordance with four selectable filling and discharge modes for the valve to fill and drain potable water in the potable water supply and waste system. As a result, the valve can be used to fill the potable water supply system with potable water before a flight, and to selectively drain potable water from the potable water distribution manifold, the water filter, or both after a flight, all through the same valve.
