Title:
COUPLING ASSEMBLY FOR VALVE COMPONENTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007089689
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A system and method for coupling valve components, especially for attaching an actuator to a valve body. A first component defines a circumferential groove in its exterior surface with an aperture or recess in the bottom wall of the groove. A second component has a corresponding circumferential groove defined in its inner surface. An aperture extends through from the exterior surface of the second component into the circumferential groove. During assembly, the second component is received over the first component with the circumferential grooves aligned. The hooked end of a flexible plastic rod is inserted through the aperture of the second component and engaged in the aperture or recess in the first component. The second component is then rotated relative to the first component to draw the plastic rod into the grooves.
