==FLOATER BASED FLOW CONTROL DEVICE FOR GRAVITY IV SETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009388 titled 'FLOATER BASED FLOW CONTROL DEVICE FOR GRAVITY IV SETS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a flow control device that consists of an upper housing, a lower housing, a chamber, and a valve member. The upper housing has a primary inlet with a cavity and a secondary inlet, while the lower housing has an outlet. The chamber connects the primary and secondary inlets with the outlet. The valve member is positioned in the cavity and the chamber to allow fluid flow in the primary inlet when the fluid level in the chamber is below a certain level and prevent fluid backflow when the fluid level is above that level.

* The flow control device has an upper housing, lower housing, chamber, and valve member.
* The upper housing has a primary inlet with a cavity and a secondary inlet.
* The lower housing defines the outlet of the flow control device.
* The chamber connects the primary and secondary inlets with the outlet.
* The valve member is positioned in the cavity and the chamber.
* The valve member selectively permits fluid flow in the primary inlet in one direction when the fluid level in the chamber is below a predetermined level.
* The valve member prevents fluid backflow in the opposite direction when the fluid level in the chamber is above the predetermined level.

Potential Applications:
* Plumbing systems
* Irrigation systems
* Water treatment plants
* Fluid control systems

Problems Solved:
* Prevents fluid backflow, ensuring efficient flow control
* Maintains a consistent fluid level in the chamber

Benefits:
* Prevents damage to equipment caused by fluid backflow
* Ensures proper functioning of fluid control systems
* Reduces the risk of flooding or overflow in plumbing or irrigation systems


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a flow control device includes an upper housing, a lower housing, a chamber interposed between and defined by the upper and lower housings, and a valve member. the upper housing includes a primary inlet having an internal surface defining a cavity and a secondary inlet. the lower housing defines an outlet of the flow control device. the chamber fluidly connects the primary and secondary inlets with the outlet. a valve member is reciprocally disposed at least partially in the cavity and partially in the chamber to (i) selectively permit fluid flow in the primary inlet in a first direction when a fluid level in the chamber is below a predetermined level, and (ii) prevent fluid backflow in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the fluid level in the chamber is above the predetermined level.
