A gas pressure-reducing valve in which a valve member to be seated on a valve seat having a valve hole opened at its central portion and leading to a pressure-reducing chamber between a body and a diaphragm is fixed on a valve stem connected to the central portion of the diaphragm and arranged coaxially with the valve axis. A bottomed mounting bore which is aligned with the valve axis and opened toward the pressure-reducing chamber is formed in the body. A cylindrical valve seat member forming a valve chamber between itself and the closed end of the mounting bore for accommodating the valve member and inserted into the mounting bore is fixed on the body. A valve seat facing the valve chamber is formed on the inner surface of the end portion of the valve seat member on the side of the pressure-reducing chamber. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the number of parts and to enhance the degree of freedom for the arrangement of the parts in the body.

Gas pressure-reducing valve

A gas pressure-reducing valve in which a valve member to be seated on a valve seat opened at its central portion with a valve hole leading to a pressure-reducing chamber between a body and a diaphragm is fixed on a valve stem coaxially extending through the valve hole, and in which the valve stem is fastened to a fastened member fixed on the central portion of the diaphragm. The fastened member is provided with a fitting bore opened at its one end on the side of the valve stem and a bottom threaded bore having a diameter smaller than that of the fitting bore and coaxially leading to the other end of the fitting bore. The valve stem is provided at its end portion on the side of the diaphragm with a fitting stem portion to be fitted in the fitting bore and an externally threaded portion capable of being screwed in the threaded bore and coaxially leading to the fitting stem portion. The externally threaded portion has a shorter axial length than that of the fitting bore. This arrangement makes it possible to confine the chips, as produced by screwing the valve stem into the fastened member, within the fastened member thereby to eliminate the chip removing work and to improve the assembling efficiency.

A milking machine, which fastens teat cup liners R to teats B of a cow and repeats vacuum suction and quiescence for milking the cow, includes 1/f fluctuation signal generation module unit 2 for generating a 1/f fluctuation signal Ss based on the biorhythm of the cow and a control unit 3 for changing the control amount during milking, for instance, the number of pulses per unit time of a pulse control signal Sc for switching the suction and the quiescence, the duty ratio of the pulse control signal Sc, or the magnitude of the negative pressure corresponding to the 1/f fluctuation signal Ss.

Milking machine

A fuel strainer having a strainer cup into which fuel is introduced from an upper side of the strainer cup, and a partition assembly removably fitted in the strainer cup. The partition assembly includes a base plate having a magnet attached to a lower side thereof, and at least one partition plate connected to an upper side of the base plate through a plurality of supporting columns so as to divide the space in the strainer cup into an upper and a lower chambers. The partition plate has a passage bore for connection between the upper and lower chambers and an upper surface of the partition plate constitutes a sediment guiding surface descending toward the passage bore. When the inside of the strainer cup is agitated for any reason, the sedimented impurities, irrespective of whether they are magnetic or non-magnetic, are effectively confined within the lower chamber by the cooperation of the attraction effect of the magnet and the partitioning effect of the partition plate so that the mixing of the sediment impurities into the fuel flowing in the strainer is effectively prevented.
