==CHECK VALVES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033498 titled 'CHECK VALVES

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a check valve that consists of an upper housing, a lower housing, and a cavity between them for fluid connection. The valve includes a valve member that allows fluid flow in one direction and prevents backflow in the opposite direction. The valve member has a valve body with a valve stem extending through its central axis, and it may also have feet extending from its outer perimeter.

* The check valve is designed to allow fluid flow in one direction and prevent backflow in the opposite direction.
* It consists of an upper housing, a lower housing, and a cavity that connects the inlet and outlet of the valve.
* The valve member, mounted in the cavity, selectively permits fluid flow in the desired direction.
* The valve member includes a valve body and a valve stem that extends through the central axis of the valve body.
* The valve member may also have feet disposed around its outer perimeter.

Potential Applications:

* Plumbing systems
* Fluid control systems
* Industrial processes requiring one-way fluid flow

Problems Solved:

* Prevents backflow of fluids, ensuring the desired direction of flow
* Maintains the integrity and efficiency of fluid control systems

Benefits:

* Reliable and efficient fluid flow control
* Prevents damage and contamination caused by backflow
* Easy installation and maintenance


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a check valve includes an upper housing defining an inlet of the check valve, a lower housing defining an outlet of the check valve, and a cavity interposed between and defined by the upper and lower housings for fluidly connecting the inlet and the outlet. the check valve further includes a valve member mounted in the cavity to selectively permit fluid flow in a first direction, and prevent fluid backflow in a second direction opposite to the first direction. the valve member includes a valve body and a valve stem portion extending axially through a central axis of the valve body. the valve member may further include a plurality of feet disposed about and extending longitudinally from an outer circumferential perimeter of the valve body.
