Latest Patents

The available information identifies one patent associated with Vollmer: “Cam Driven Fluid Valve Assembly.” The invention describes a valve housing that supports an array of sliding-gate fluid valves. A camshaft carries multiple cams, each formed from a pair of cam discs that define an inner cam track and an outer cam track. The inner track engages the valve body of one valve, while the outer track engages the valve body of another. As the camshaft rotates, each cam can move both valve bodies, enabling coordinated control of fluid flow. Vollmer is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights
