137269000 | CONVERTIBLE | 8 |
20100122737 | VALVE APPARATUS - Valve apparatus for converting a direct water drain valve into an indirect water drain valve, the direct water drain valve having at least one drain conduit, the apparatus including: a part having an inner volume and a fluid transfer aperture for fluid to enter the inner volume, the part being arranged to be connected, directly or indirectly, to the direct water drain valve so as to convert at least some of the inner volume into a substantially fluid-tight passageway between the fluid transfer aperture and the at least one drain conduit of the direct water drain valve. | 05-20-2010 |
20110303304 | REBUILDABLE MICRO-FLUIDIC VALVE ASSEMBLY - A multi-position valve assembly including a valve housing, a stator element and a rotor element rotatably mounted about a rotational axis. The valve assembly further includes a pressure adjustment assembly movable between a release position and a stop position, hard stopped relative to the valve housing. The pressure adjustment assembly includes a pressure adjuster device configured to movably cooperate between the rotor element and the valve housing to adjustably generate an axial compression pressure at the rotor-stator interface at a calibrated operating pressure, P | 12-15-2011 |
20140345707 | DIRECT MOUNT CANISTER PURGE SOLENOID WITH ADDITIONAL VACUUM PORTS - A valve assembly, such as a canister purge solenoid (CPS) having one or more interchangeable components which may be used to reconfigure the valve assembly to have one or more additional vacuum ports. The design of the valve assembly eliminates the need to mold these ports into the intake manifold, simplifying the design of the manifold, and the tooling needed to make the manifold. The direct mount design of the CPS of the present invention includes at least one additional port to serve as an additional vacuum port to be used for any other purpose, such as a PCV valve, brake booster, or the like. | 11-27-2014 |
20150059869 | BASE CONNECTION DEVICE USED TO CHANGE A FLAPPER DRAIN VALVE TO A BARREL DRAIN VALVE - A base connection device used to change a flapper drain valve to a barrel drain valve includes a flapper base and a first overflow pipe disposed in the external side of the flapper base; further includes a connection base and a second overflow pipe, the bottom of the connection base is sleeved on the flapper base in sealing way, and closing the bottom of the first overflow pipe, the top of the connection base is formed to a matching portion; the bottom of the second overflow pipe is connected to the outlet of the flapper base. To change a flapper drain valve to a barrel drain valve, the flapper base does not need to be disassembled. The barrel drain valve is inserted to the connection base to sleeve the connection base on the flapper base, with the second overflow pipe as an overflow pipe of the water tank. | 03-05-2015 |

20090020164 | Integrated and Detachable Float-valve-mounted Suction Plug - An Integrated and Detachable Float-valve-mounted Suction Plug is disclosed. The float valve having an integrated suction plug provides dual functionality—the functionality of a conventional diverter valve, as well as the functionality to plug the skimmer assembly pump suction port. The detachable float-valve-mounted suction plug is configured to snap over the top of a conventional diverter device in order to add the skimmer assembly suction port plug functionality. Both versions will eliminate the need for a pool cleaning person to carry a bag-full of tennis balls or plugs. Each device is designed to stay with or be incorporated within the diverter inside of the skimmer housing. Finally, both embodiments allow the plugging of the pump suction port by flipping over the diverter and then replacing the diverter inside of the skimmer housing. | 01-22-2009 |
20100018587 | VALVE ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY - An adjustable valve assembly is disclosed. The valve assembly comprises a mounting portion and an adjustment assembly comprising an adjustable member threadably engaged with the mounting portion, the adjustable member adapted to change its position relative to the mounting portion when rotated and a clevis coupled to the adjustable member, wherein the position of the clevis relative to the mounting portion is adjustable by rotation of the adjustable member. | 01-28-2010 |

20080302426 | System and method of securing removable components for distribution of fluids - A system for enabling a distribution of fluids includes a backplane and at least two component bases. Each component base has a first flange segment on one side and a second flange segment on an opposite side. Each of the first flange segment and the second flange segment has through holes formed therein. Fasteners secure the two component bases to the backplane. The fasteners extending through the through holes formed in the first flange segment of a first component base and through holes formed in the second flange segment of a second component base and into the backplane. Methods of assembling a distribution system are further provided. | 12-11-2008 |
20080314456 | Fluidic Device - There is provided a fluidic device that is small, that can reduce contamination inclusion, and that can improve efficiency. A fluidic device includes a first constituent member internally having a first channel, and a mounting substrate internally having a second channel, the first constituent member being mounted on the mounting substrate. The mounting substrate has a storage portion for storing a fluid which is supplied to the first channel and a collecting portion for storing a fluid which is discharged from the first channel. The second channel has a supplying channel portion connected to the storage portion and a collecting channel portion connected to the collecting portion. The supplying channel portion and the collecting channel portion are connected to each other via the first channel. | 12-25-2008 |
