Flow pin

Embodiments described herein relate to a flow meter assembly. The inline flow meter assembly includes a housing, an elongated flow member, and a piston. The housing includes a fluid passage. The elongated flow member has a shaft portion and an opposite fluid flow portion. The fluid flow portion has an outer peripheral surface. The shaft portion is coupled to the housing. The piston has a plate. The plate has a plate orifice. The piston and the plate move axially between a no flow position where the outer peripheral surface of the fluid flow portion is engaged with the plate orifice to prevent a fluid flow and a full flow position where the outer peripheral surface of the fluid flow portion is disengaged with the plate orifice such that the fluid flow enters the plate orifice and passes through the fluid passage in the axial direction of movement of the piston.

Systems and methods for an inline flow meter assembly

Embodiments described herein are generally directed to a venturi valve. The venture valve includes an inlet; an outlet opposite of the inlet; a passage, a primary orifice, and an insert. The passage is positioned between the inlet and the outlet and fluidly coupling the inlet to the outlet. The primary orifice is positioned between the inlet and the outlet and in fluid communication with the passage such that the primary orifice permits fluid to enter the passage. The insert is positioned between the inlet and the outlet, the insert configured to enclose at least a portion of the passage.

Venturi vacuum drawback assemblies and dual orifice venturi valve assemblies

A venturi vacuum drawback assembly includes a fluid supply passage that supplies the fluid to the device, a fluid return passage that returns the fluid to the device, a shutoff valve positioned on the fluid supply passage, a bypass passage, a bypass valve positioned on the bypass passage, and a venturi valve positioned on the bypass passage downstream of the bypass valve. The bypass passage includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the fluid supply passage upstream of the shutoff valve, and the outlet connected to the fluid return passage. The venturi valve includes a venturi inlet, a venturi outlet, and a primary orifice positioned between the venturi inlet and the venturi outlet. The primary orifice is connected to a drawback opening on the fluid supply passage by a conduit. The drawback opening of the fluid supply passage is positioned downstream of the shutoff valve.

Flow control plate

A dual orifice venturi vacuum drawback assembly includes a fluid supply passage that supplies fluid to the device, a fluid return passage that returns fluid from the device, a shutoff valve position on the fluid supply passage, a bypass passage, a bypass valve positioned on the bypass passage, and a dual orifice venturi valve. The bypass passage includes an inlet connected to the fluid supply passage upstream of the shutoff valve, and an outlet connected to the fluid return passage. The dual orifice venturi valve is positioned on the bypass passage upstream of the bypass valve. The dual orifice venturi valve includes a venturi inlet, a venturi outlet, a primary orifice, and a secondary orifice. The primary orifice is connected to a primary drawback opening on the fluid return passage. The secondary orifice is connected to a secondary drawback opening on the fluid return passage.

An edging guide may include an anchor and a retainer that may be rotatably mounted to the anchor. The anchor may be buried in the ground during use and may include a post portion and a support portion. The retainer may be rotatably mounted to the support of the anchor and may function to secure hold one or more lengths of edging material.

Edging guide

A roller apparatus for dispensing the contents of a flexible tube may include a housing, a shaft and a cap. The shaft being positioned in the housing and mounted to thereto by rotation in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The shaft may then be enclosed in the housing by placement of a cap on the housing that also functions to engage an end of the shaft. Following insertion of the sealed end of a flexible tube though openings in the housing and the shaft, the tube is taken up into the housing by further rotation of the cap, and thus the shaft. To remove the tube, the cap may be counter rotated to release the shaft (and the tube now wrapped around the shaft) from the housing.

Rolling apparatus

An edging guide may include an anchor and a retailer that may be rotatably mounted to the anchor. The anchor may be buried in the ground during use and may include a post portion and a support portion. The retailer may be rotatably mounted to the support of the anchor and may function to secure hold one or more lengths of edging material.

A stackable plant support assembly may include two plant support frames that by be vertically stacked or secured to each other, one supporting the other, using a plurality of clips. Each frame may be formed from two or more wire frame portions. The clips, which may be constructed of plastic, may include a body having a pair of spaced apart, parallel channels and a closure that is used to close off the channels. Each channel of the clip(s) may extend through the body such that each channel has a pair of opens ends and an open top. A pair of parallel grooves may also be defined in the surface of each channel. The grooves may allow each clip to engage up to four separate frame portions. Therefore, the clips may be used for securing together and supporting two separate vertically arranged frames by engaging the frame portions of each frame.

Plant support assembly

An embodiment for a water control apparatus is disclosed that may be used with a concrete mixing assembly. The apparatus may include flowmeter unit and a normally closed valve unit. The normally closed valve unit may be in fluid communication with, and removably connected to, the flowmeter unit. A control unit may be provide that may monitor the flowmeter unit and electronically control the opening of the normally closed valve unit. A switch may be also provided for that may electrically communicate with the control unit to. The activation of the switch being operable to cause the normally closed valve to open and result in the flow of water into a concrete mixing drum that is in fluid communication with the normally closed valve.
