20100084594 | VALVES HAVING REMOVABLE INTERNAL ACTUATION MECHANISMS - Internal valve apparatus are described. An example internal valve includes a body having a valve seat disposed between an inlet and an outlet. A flow control member operatively coupled to the body moves between a first position in which the flow control member engages the valve seat to restrict the flow of fluid through the valve and a second position in which the flow control member is spaced from the valve seat to allow the flow of fluid through the valve. The example internal valve further includes a removable actuation member disposed within the body and responsive to a fluid pressure to cause the flow control member to move between the first and second positions. | 04-08-2010 |

20120211688 | VALVE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WITH TOOL-LESS INTERCONNECT - A valve actuator assembly may include a valve having a mounting adapter and an actuator housing configured to releasably and non-rotatably attach to the mounting adapter without tools. The actuator housing may be attached at any one of a plurality of discrete radial orientations. In some instances, the actuator housing may include a spring retainer clip configured to engage the mounting adapter, and a button element configured to engage the spring retainer clip to release the spring retainer slip from the mounting adapter. | 08-23-2012 |
20130056666 | VALVES HAVING REMOVABLE INTERNAL ACTUATION MECHANISMS - Internal valve apparatus are described. An example internal valve includes a body having a valve seat disposed in a fluid flow passageway between an inlet and an outlet. A flow control member is operatively coupled to the body and movable between a first position to engage the valve seat to restrict fluid flow through the valve and a second position to move away from the valve seat to allow fluid flow through the valve. A removable actuator is coupled to the body and operatively coupled to the flow control member to cause the flow control member to move between the first and second positions. A portion of the removable actuator is cantilevered in the fluid flow passageway between the inlet and the outlet when the removable actuator is coupled to the body. | 03-07-2013 |
20130168587 | MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES FOR USE WITH FLUID CONTROL DEVICES - Mounting assemblies for use with fluid control devices are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a bonnet to be coupled to a valve and a mounting assembly including a first side to be coupled to an actuator and a second side to be rotatably coupled at an end of the bonnet to enable a rotational position of the mounting assembly to change relative to the bonnet. | 07-04-2013 |
20150021506 | APPARATUS TO ATTACH A FLUID VALVE BONNET - Apparatus to attach a fluid valve bonnet are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a bonnet having a neck portion and a nut engaged with the neck portion of the bonnet to couple the bonnet to a body of a fluid valve. A central axis of the nut is coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the bonnet. | 01-22-2015 |
251292000 | Rotary valve | 6 |
20090114867 | ROTARY VALVE LEVER APPARATUS HAVING INTERCHANGEABLE SHAFT ADAPTOR INSERTS - Rotary valve lever apparatus having removable shaft adaptor inserts are described. An example lever apparatus includes a lever arm to rotatably mount to a stem of an actuator. The lever apparatus also includes a first opening having a first splined inner surface to receive a splined shaft, and a second opening adjacent the first opening and having a second splined inner surface to receive at least a portion of an insert member having a splined outer surface. | 05-07-2009 |
20100025611 | Fluid Conveyance and/or Distribution Device with Ring Nut Coupling - A device for conveying and/or distributing fluids comprises a housing with connection portions, one or more threaded ring nuts that can be screwed to the connection portions in order to join them, a control handle and a tightening seat formed in the housing and adapted to support the control handle in a tightening position, rotatable around a tightening axis. The control handle comprises a drive portion which, in the tightening position, engages with a coupling portion of the ring nut, in a manner such that a rotation of the control handle around the tightening axis leads to a screwing or an unscrewing of the ring nut. | 02-04-2010 |
20120199776 | Quick Disconnect Actuator Mounting - A mounting apparatus and method couple an actuator to a valve or damper. The mounting apparatus includes five primary parts: a base which attaches to the valve or damper, an actuator mount which attaches to the actuator, a rotational coupler, a handle and a bail. The base and the actuator mount encircle the rotational axis in a mating relationship. The bail slides into aligned holes on the base and the actuator mount to secure the two together, preferably with legs on opposite sides of the rotational axis. | 08-09-2012 |
20120280160 | FAUCET HANDLE - A faucet handle includes a handle having a containment space, the containment space having an assembly aperture on a top surface, the assembly aperture accepting a limiting member, with two limiting ribs disposed adjacent to two opposite sides of the assembly aperture. A plurality of adjusting members respectively have a through aperture and two engaging columns adjacent to sides of the through aperture. Each engaging column is inserted between the two limiting ribs of the handle. The adjusting member also has two engaging slots adjacent to another side of the through aperture and an assembly device having an assembly base. The assembly base has an assembly space and two positioning columns adjacent to the assembly space, and each positioning column engages with an engaging slot of the adjusting member. | 11-08-2012 |
20130062546 | BALL VALVE STEM RETAINING SYSTEM - A system includes a ball valve with a housing having a fluid passage, a ball disposed within the housing along the fluid passage, and a stem coupled to the ball. The stem is configured to move the ball between an open position and a closed position relative to the fluid passage. The stem is disposed in a first opening on a first side of the housing. The stem is removable from the first opening, through at least one opening in the ball, and out through a second opening on a second side of the housing. | 03-14-2013 |
20140021393 | KEY FOR GAS CYLINDERS - There is a key for use with pressurized gas cylinders. The key includes a sleeve configured to fit over a lever arm of a gas cylinder. The key includes a handle extending from the sleeve, and having a body. The handle includes a first slot and a second slot extending through the body of the handle and configured to fit over a valve toggle of a gas cylinder.
