Title: Pressure flush valve for water closets
IPC: E03D3/04
Filed: 1988-09-07
Granted: 1991-09-04
Abstract: The pressure flush valve has a relief valve consisting of a closure tappet and a closure seat, the opening of which relief valve relieves the water pressure urging the flush-valve piston in the closing direction in a compensating chamber, with the result that the water pressure in the housing inlet lifts the flush-valve piston in the opening direction. The closure tappet pushed away from the closure seat descends onto the flush-valve piston and is lifted against the closure seat again by the rising flush-valve piston. A manually displaceable actuating tappet pushes the closure tappet away from the closure seat with a first stroke and displaces, with a subsequent second stroke, a piston member containing the closure seat after the descended closure tappet over a part of its opening travel. An actuating rocker acts on the actuating tappet, the two free rocker ends of which are each coupled to a push button guided out of the housing. Each rocker end bears on a stop forming the pivot point of the rocker when the other rocker end is pivoted, and is pivotable from the stop over a limited distance. The limited distance travelled by one rocker end is assigned the displacement, producing a greater flushing quantity, of the actuating tappet over only the first stroke, and the limited distance travelled by the other rocker end is assigned the displacement, producing a lesser flushing quantity, of the actuating tappet over the first and the subsequent second stroke.

Abstract: In the preparation of diisocyanates from diamines, urea and alcohols with thermal cracking of the biscarbamate formed, it has hitherto been impossible to utilise the by-products formed in the cracking stage, and thus to arrive at a technically practicable and economical process. It was therefore the object of the invention to search for an appropriate way which avoids the said disadvantages. 
<??>The object was achieved when a cyclic process for the preparation of (cyclo)aliphatic diisocyanates was found wherein, starting from diamines, by-products from the thermal cracking, urea and alcohol, the biscarbamate is produced in the presence of N-unsubstituted carbamates and dialkyl carbonates and with removal of NH3, the subsequent cracking of the biscarbamate is carried out in the liquid phase without solvent, the diisocyanate and alcohol are condensed, the diisocyanate is subjected to a final distillation and a part of the reaction mixture from the cracking with the by-products formed is purged and, after first being reacted with raw alcohol arising, is recycled to the biscarbamate preparation stage.

Abstract: The novel method substantially reduces the pressure pulse, generated by a first radial motion of a body of water, by changing the radial motion into axial motion. The change from radial motion into axial motion is produced by generating a second radial motion of opposite phase within the body of water. The method can be used to substantially reduce the pressure pulse, generated by the implosion of a body of water, by generating an explosion in the body of water. It can also by an explosion within a body of water, by generating an implosion of the body of water. The method can further be used to generate within a body of water an impulsive acoustic signal by sequentially generating within the body of water a first explosion and a second explosion. The apparatus comprises a signal chamber (14) which contains a first charge of gas. A normally-closed valve (12) maintains the signal chamber (14) closed and has a discharge port (16) into the water. A second chamber (14') contains a second charge of compressed gas. A second fast-acting valve (12') normally maintains the second chamber (14') closed and has an outlet (16') into the water. A controller (20) explosively opens the first valve (12) so as to generate an impulsive acoustic signal and a first bubble. The controller (20) subsequently opens the second valve (12') to thereby release the second charge from the second chamber into the water, while the first bubble is near its maximim volume.
