Faucet

A check valve assembly which in an open position allows liquid to flow in one direction through the assembly including a moving sealing member which engages a seal to prevent liquid flow in a second opposite direction. The sealing member may be moved into engagement with the seal by rotation of a stem with an eccentric to block flow in both directions. A check valve and shut-off device assembly which in an open position allows liquid to flow in one direction through the assembly until gas or foam is mixed with the liquid. The shut-off device includes a sealing member which engages a seal to block flow through the assembly when foam or gas is present in the liquid. The check valve includes a sealing member which can reset the shut-off device. The check valve sealing member also engages the same sealing member to prevent any flow through the assembly in a closed position. In an open position, the check valve sealing member may engage the seal to prevent reverse flow of liquid through the assembly.

A faucet including a flow reducing insert positioned within an interior of a faucet body, the body and insert having tapered portions that are configured to reduce flow through the faucet when the insert is moved downstream laterally with the body. The insert and the body further having straight portions downstream from the tapered portions with the straight portion including features that permit liquid passing between the tapered portions to flow into the interior and through a downstream end of the faucet. A flow reducer with an insert and interior walls similarly configured to the faucet above.

Beverage faucet and flow reducer

A liquid dispensing faucet including a flow control lever engaging a sealing member within an internal cavity of a faucet body. The sealing member is held within the faucet body in an oversized recess permitting liquid to flow about all sides of the sealing member when the flow control handle is placed in an open position and liquid flows through the faucet body. The faucet body may have a removable spout mounted at a second end of the body. An air inlet may be included within a flow path of the liquid downstream of the sealing member. This air inlet promotes the removal of residual liquid from the flow path when the flow lever is in a closed position and is positioned to discourage flow of the liquid through the air inlet when the flow lever is in an open position.

Faucet with floating seal member

A vise with a clamp having a housing with clamp fingers and load transfer elements enabling the fingers to move relative to each other to compensate for tolerance variations between workpieces simultaneously clamped or contour variations in a workpiece. Each finger is elongate and reciprocable relative to the housing. Preferably, each element is disc-shaped and can be constructed and arranged to interlock with other elements to promote clamp stability. The elements are constructed and arranged within the housing in a first row of elements behind the clamp fingers and a second row of elements behind the first row and can move relative to each other. Preferably, there are the same number of elements in the first row as there are clamp fingers and one less element in the second row. To encourage stability, the housing preferably has inwardly extending dividers between fingers and inwardly extending sidewall portions that can be inwardly inclined to form an element guide surface. In a second embodiment, the clamp consists of inner and a pair of outer modular clamp units that are connected to form an assembly. Each modular unit has a finger, load transfer elements, and at least one load communicating element that extends from one unit to an adjacent unit for enabling units to be joined to form a clamp having a desired number of fingers. In a method of this invention, fingers and elements of the clamp move relative to each other to clamp an unevenly contoured workpiece.
