Patent

CA 2222412

Face valve apparatus (50) having a plurality of valve stations each of which includes a replaceable pad (86) that is behind and in contact with a planar face (56) of a continuously moving valve section having a plurality of inlet ports (120) in a circular array about a rotation axis for the movable valve section. Each of the valve stations are removably mounted to a fixed support (59) by a plurality of fasteners (82) that are accessible for operation from behind the support (59). Each pad (86) defines an outlet port disposed in front of said support (59) and operatively positioned so that for part of each revolution of the movable valve section, each of the inlet ports (120) communicates directly with the outlet port. When operation of certain of the fasteners (82) releases a selected valve station from the fixed support (59), the selected valve station is removable from the support (59) through an opening therein so that the pad (86) is rearward of the support, where such pad is accessible for replacement without disturbing mounting of any of the other valve stations to the fixed support (59).

Appareil à soupapes (50) possédant une pluralité de stations à soupapes. Chacune de ces dernières comprend un patin remplaçable (86) situé derrière et contre la face plane (56) d'une section à soupapes en mouvement qui possède une pluralité d'orifices d'entrée (120) disposés circulairement autour de l'axe de rotation de la section à soupapes mobile. Chaque section à soupapes, amovible, est fixée à un support fixe (59) par une pluralité d'éléments de fixation (82) qui sont accessibles pour la manipulation depuis derrière le support (59). Chaque patin (86) définit un orifice de sortie disposé devant ledit support (59) et positionné de manière fonctionnelle de façon qu'à chaque révolution de la section à soupapes mobile, chaque orifice d'entrée (120) communique directement avec l'orifice de sortie. Quand la manipulation de certains éléments de fixation (82) libère une station à soupapes sélectionnée du support fixe (59), la station à soupapes sélectionnée peut être enlevée du support fixe (59), grâce à une ouverture ménagée dans celui-ci, de façon que le patin (86) se retrouve en arrière du support, endroit où il est accessible, ce qui permet de le remplacer sans que l'on soit obligé de libérer les autres stations à soupapes du support fixe (59).
