Patent EP-0805295-B1 (EP)
Inventor: KHADIM NEIL M
IPC: F16K31/11
Filed: 1997-04-30
Granted: 2002-09-04
Abstract: The invention relates to an "instant-on" valve assembly incorporating a manual override, designed to be connected to a tank containing high pressure gaseous fuel, for example for use in a gas powered vehicle. The valve assembly and manual override allows the tank to be alternately closed off, vented, or allows the gas in the tank to bypass the instant-on valve. The instant-on valve assembly can be repaired or replaced without venting the tank. The instant-on valve assembly (8) has a main valve (16, 18) and a bleed valve. The main valve has a primary plunger (16), and a secondary piston (18) that opens and closes a main orifice (40). The bleed valve has a bleed valve stem (52) that opens and closes a bleed orifice (50) and is connected to the primary plunger (16). The main valve (16, 18) is slidably mounted within a housing (20, 32) and has a chamber (38) at one end and a zone (76) at another end. Both the zone (76) and the chamber (38) have access to high pressure gaseous fuel within the tank when the main and bleed valves are closed. High pressure gaseous fluid within the zone (76) can be drained when the bleed valve is fully open. Activation of a solenoid (24) displaces the primary plunger (16) which in turn displaces the bleed valve stem (52) to open the bleed valve. When the pressure within the zone (76) is sufficiently reduced, the pressure within the chamber (38) will cause the main valve to open by sliding into the zone. A spring (66) moves the main valve towards a closed position when the solenoid (24) is deactivated. Since the volume of the zone (76) is relatively small, the main valve opens within one second after the solenoid is activated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The cold forming tap according to the present embodiment is constructed such that ones of protruding portions which are located adjacent to each other in the axial direction are removed down to a root of a thread of the cold forming tap, and a portion corresponding to the root of each of the removed protruding portions is provided with the cutting edge having a diameter equal to a minor diameter of an internal thread to be formed by the cold forming tap. This construction permits a maximum diameter position of the root not to be located at relief portions which are adjacent to the protruding portions of the external thread portion, whereby a concave-convex shape defined by the crest and a concave-convex shape defined by the root coincide with each other as viewed in the circumferential direction. This coincidence between the respective concave-convex shapes makes it possible to form simultaneously the ridge and root of the external thread portion with high accuracy and efficiency, by employing a grinding wheel having a thread profile formed on its outer circumferential surface in a step referred to as a thread grinding, considerably facilitating a dimension control of the thread of the external thread portion, and leading to a reduced cost for the production. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low-monomer PU prepolymer containing free NCO groups which is obtained from polyhydric alcohols and diisocyanates differing in their reactivity and which is distinguished by the ratio of the NCO groups of the partly slower-reacting diisocyanate to the NCO groups of the faster-reacting diisocyanate. It is greater than 6:1. Nevertheless the prepolymer according to the invention cures more quickly than a known prepolymer predominantly containing fast-reacting NCO groups. In a preferred embodiment, TDI is used as the partly slower-reacting diisocyanate while MDI is used as the faster-reacting diisocyanate. The prepolymer is produced in two stages. The prepolymer according to the invention is suitable for bonding plastic articles, metals and paper, especially films. The accelerated absence of migration is particularly noticeable in this regard.
