Rotary Actuator Device With A Free Floating Piston

View page

US Patent:

51706938, Dec 15, 1992

Filed:

Apr 26, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/692328

Inventors:

Gary M. Stary - Coraopolis PA

International Classification:

F01B 2526

US Classification:

92 5R

Abstract:

A pressure controlled actuator mechanism is disclosed for imparting rotary control motion to devices, such as valves, having rotary control means. The actuator includes a free-floating piston movable and concentrically disposed within an airtight cylindrical housing. A non-rotating receptacle, having helically spiralled recesses therein, is attached to a support member that is adapted to move in response to the free-floating piston. A rotatable shaft, one end of which mates with the helically spiralled recesses of the receptacle, is attached at its other end to a device having a rotary control means. A downward stroke of the receptacle rotates the shaft and activates the device. The support member is spring biased to return the free-floating piston to a starting position. In an alternative embodiment, the free floating piston is movably and concentrically attached to the support member for travel therewith. In this embodiment, a second pressure medium is introduced into the housing to cause the piston and support member to return to a starting position.

US Patent:

55538304, Sep 10, 1996

Filed:

Nov 18, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/342281

Inventors:

Gary M. Stary - Coraopolis PA

International Classification:

F16K 4102

US Classification:

251214

Abstract:

A pipeline valve is provided which includes a valve body having a spherical bore with a cylindrical valve seat. The cylindrical valve seat is positioned along the centerline of the spherical valve body and can be machined in the valve body. Alternatively, the valve seat can be an elastomeric material which is inserted into the valve body. The butterfly valve disk is conical in shape. In one embodiment, the disk is constructed from two halves, fastened together, having a movable T-seal perimetrial surface. The T-seal is received by a groove recessed within the disk. Behind the T-seal, an elastomer or linear expander biasing member can be disposed to force the T-seal in a direction towards the valve seat. The valve disk is connected to a control shaft by a attachment assembly which allows for self-alignment of the disk. The control shaft terminates in a forked end having two legs which define an aperture corresponding to coupling pads on either side of the disk.

Filed:

Jun 7, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/472342

Inventors:

Gary M. Stary - Coraopolis PA

International Classification:

F16K 122

US Classification:

251214

Alternatively, the valve seat can be an elastomeric material which is inserted into the valve body. The butterfly valve disk is conical in shape. In one embodiment, the disk is constructed from two halves, fastened together, having a movable T-seal perimetrical surface. The T-seal is received by a groove recessed within the disk. Behind the T-seal, an elastomer or linear expander biasing member can be disposed to force the T-seal in a direction towards the valve seat. The valve disk is connected to a control shaft by a attachment assembly which allows for self-alignment of the disk.

US Patent:

53258886, Jul 5, 1994

Filed:

Apr 30, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/056313

Inventors:

Gary M. Stary - Coraopolis PA

International Classification:

F16K 3700

US Classification:

137553

Abstract:

An apparatus is provided which includes a valve transmission designed to connect a valve actuator to a rotational valve. The valve transmission includes a pinion, a pair of stepped racks, and a lower gear, all within a housing. The pinion is designed to be driven by a rotating shaft of an actuator. The pinion engages the teeth of the racks on the upper steps. The lower steps of the rack are displaced laterally from the upper steps to engage a lower gear that is either of lesser or greater diameter than the pinion depending on whether a positive or negative mechanical advantage is desired. The lower steps drive the lower gear which is connected to the drive shaft of a rotational valve. The transmission is placed within a housing which removeably mounts to the valve body.
