专利汇可以提供Mechanically located valve and method of using same专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且A valve for controlling the flow of fluid through a passage defined in a fluid distribution system and the method of using such a valve for controlling fluid flow, for example, to clean the stall area in a barn located adjacent to the passage. The valve includes a fluid impermeable member which is selectively located relative to the passage to prevent fluid flow, or to permit fluid flow at a selected rate through the range from no flow to maximum flow conditions. A resilient, elastomeric sealing member cooperates with the fluid impermeable member in the passage to prevent fluid flow when the valve is in its closed position. Means are provided for selectively locating the position of the fluid impermeable member throughout its range. The locating means include a winch for controlling cable connected to opposite sides of the valve member. In a preferred embodiment, the fluid impermeable member is secured to a vehicle wheel rim on which is mounted a pneumatic vehicle tire. Means are provided to cause the pivoting of the member, rim, and tire as a unit into and out of a sealing relationship with the passage. A method of using the valve includes the steps of providing a source of fluid, positioning the valve to control the flow of fluid through the passage, and controlling the movement of the valve member to control the flow of fluid. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes the step of cleaning an area adjacent to the valve, for example, the stall area of a barn.，下面是Mechanically located valve and method of using same专利的具体信息内容。

权利要求

1. A valve for controlling the flow of fluid through a passage defined in a fluid distribution system, said valve comprising: a fluid impermeable member characterized in that said member may be located both in a first position which permits no flow of fluid through said passage and in a second position which permits a maximum flow of fluid through said passage; a support member, said fluid impermeable member being secured to said support member; an elastomeric; resilient, pneumatic sealing member, secured to said support member; wherein said fluid impermeable member, said support member and said elastomeric member are locatable as a unit for sealing said passage to prevent fluid flow through said passage when said fluid impermeable member is located in its first position; and means for selectively locating the position of said fluid impermeable member relative to said passage in any of a range of positions defined between and including said first position and said second position, said locating means including cables secured to said fluid impermeable member and extending therefrom in generally opposite directions so that the fluid impermeable member may be fixedly located at any position within said range relative to said fluid passage by force applied to said fluid impermeable member, in either of said generally opposite directions, through said cable.

2. The valve as defined in claim 1 wherein said locating means includes winching means for controlling the movement and location of said fluid impermeable member, said winching means includes a selectively actuable rotatable member securing at least a portion of said cable.

3. The valve as defined in claim 2 wherein said winching means further includes means for actuating said rotatable member.

4. The valve as defined in claim 3 wherein said locating means further includes pivoting means for causing said fluid impermeable member to pivot between said first position and said second position when said rotatable member in said winching means is actuated.

5. The valve as defined in claim 4 wherein said pivoting means includes: a pivot pin; means for securing said pivot pin in a fixed location; and a bracket member pivotably secured to said pivot pin and fixedly secured to said fluid impermeable member.

6. The valve as defined in claim 5 wherein said support member is a vehicle wheel rim, said elastomeric member is a pneumatic vehicle tire mounted on said rim, and said fluid impermeable member is secured to said rim so that said tire, said rim, and said fluid impermeable member cooperate as a unit with said fluid passage to prevent fluid flow through said passage when said valve is in a closed position.

7. A valve located in a fluid distribution system which defines a fluid passage for controlling the flow of fluid through said passage, said valve comprising: a vehicle wheel rim; a pneumatic vehicle tire secured to said rim; a fluid impermeable member secured to said rim so that said member, said rim, and said tire cooperate as a unit; and means, in an operative relationship with said unit and said fluid distribution system, for selectively locating the position of said unit relative to said fluid passage to control the flow of fluid through said passage.

8. The valve as defined in claim 7 wherein said means is further characterized as selectively locating the position of said unit relative to said passage in any of the range of positions between and including a first position which permits no flow of fluid through said passage and a second position which permits maximum flow of fluid through said passage.

9. The valve as defined in claim 8 wherein said locating means includes cable secured to said unit which extends in approximately opposite directions thereto for controlling movement of said unit toward either of said first or said second positions; and means for causing movement of said cable to effect the opening, closing and intermediate positions of said unit.

10. The valve as defined in claim 9 further including means for causing said unit to pivot about an axis between said first position and said second position.

11. The method of controlling the flow of fluid through a passage for laving an area adjacent the passage comprising the steps of: providing a source of fluid; positioning a valve member defined by a vehicle wheel rim, a pneumatic vehicle tire secured to said rim and a fluid impermeable member secured to said rim in a position relative to said passage to control the flow of fluid therethrough; mechanically providing force to said valve member in a first direction in order to remove said member from a sealing relationship with said passage; laving said area adjacent said passage with a relatively large volume of said fluid for a relatively small amount of time; and mechanically providing a force to said member in a direction generally opposite to said first direction in order to relocate said valve member in a sealing relationship with said passage.

12. The method as defined in claim 11 wherein the first step of providing force to said valve member is further defined in that said valve member is fixedly located without a sealing relationship with said passage.

13. The method as defined in claim 11 wherein the step of providing a source of fluid includes the step of storing a volume of water in a position in a first volumetric space adjacent to said passage and said step of laving is further characterized as laving a surface located adjacent to said passage in a direction opposite to the side of said passage on which said fluid is stored by a controlled flow of fluid thereon.

14. The method aS defined in claim 13 wherein said step of laving is further defined as laving a substantially horizontal surface with said fluid.

15. The method as defined in claim 13 wherein said step of laving is further defined as laving a barn floor of accumulated wastes.
