Patent AU-6025599-A (AU)
Title: Improved automatic drain valve
Inventor: OTTINGER LESTER V
IPC: F16T1/38
Filed: 1999-09-03
Abstract: An automatic drain valve for discharging accumulations of fluids and foreign materials from a fluid handling system. The drain valve (10) comprises a reservoir (14) defining a reservoir volume (15) and a thru-port (28), in fluid communication with the reservoir volume (15), that defines an inlet (30) and terminates in a drainage valve (82) for flowthrough communications with a fluid handling system. An actuating mechanism selectively actuates a valve operator. In the preferred embodiment, a pilot valve (41) is mounted in the reservoir (14) for selectively communicating pressurized air to a valve operator (57), such that the valve operator selectively opens and closes the drainage valve (82) communicating with the outlet (88) of the reservoir (14) for selectively draining the reservoir. The pilot valve (41) includes a sensor tube (42) which defines a valve seat (44) and includes a magnetized valve plug (46) for selectively engaging the valve seat (44), the valve plug (46) having a selected magnetic polarity. A level sensing float (52) disposed within the reservoir (15) carries an annular magnet (56) normally having a polarity opposing that of the valve plug (46) such that the annular magnet (56) acts upon the valve plug (46) selectively opening and closing the pilot valve (81) as the float (52) rises and falls from a raised position to a lower position with the level of liquid within the reservoir (14).

Title: Device for the vertical arrangement of a pole or post-like object
Inventor: KRINNER KLAUS
IPC: E04H12/22
Filed: 1996-08-22
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for the vertical arrangement of a pole or post-like object (4) on a securing device (6) disposed at the ground end. The device comprises a substantially cylindrical, elongate mounting mandrel (10) which can be inserted into an accommodating bore (12) in the underside of the pole or post-like object (4). The device further comprises a support plate (16) from whose plane the mounting mandrel (10) extends upwards and on which the underside (14) of the pole or post-like object (4) rests. At least one securing projection (18) protrudes upwards from the support plate (16) and penetrates the material of the pole or post-like object (4). The mounting mandrel (10) is substantially thinner than the accommodating bore (12) in the underside of the pole or post-like object (4) such that there is considerable play between the journal or mounting mandrel (10) and the bore (12) surrounding the mandrel in the underside of the pole or post. Owing to this play, the pole or post (4) can be mounted on the mounting mandrel (10) such that the pole or post is tilted or inclined within a given angular range. This inclined or tilted position permits compensation of any positions of the securing device (6) disposed at the ground end which are lopsided relative to the vertical.
