Abstract

A vapor plate for covering a manhole of a cargo transport tanker includes a plate member and one or more push rod assemblies. Each push rod assembly includes a guide tube extending through the plate member and a push rod extending through the guide member. A rod of the push rod moves linearly and rotationally within the guide tube. An adjustable collar of a resistance mechanism may be fixed to the rod so that the collar engages a spring allowing a user to generate a resistive clamping force by pushing downward on the push rod. A user may clamp the rim of a manhole between a lower handle of the push rod and the plate member with the resistive force by positioning the lower handle underneath the rim after generating the resistance force. The push rod assembly is sealed to prevent vapor leakage.

Abstract

A coupling has a housing which defines a vacuum chamber and, at least in part, a nozzle chamber. The nozzle chamber forms a valve chamber, an intake chamber, and an outlet chamber. A main valve is in the valve chamber. The main valve is movable between an open and closed position. A poppet valve is in the outlet chamber. An air outlet opens from the vacuum chamber into the nozzle chamber. An opening of an air uptake conduit opens into the vacuum chamber. The air outlet opening is distinct from the opening of the uptake conduit. When the main valve is in the open position the valve chamber is open to the outlet chamber and the outlet chamber is open to the intake chamber. In the closed position, the valve chamber is sealed off from the outlet chamber and the intake chamber is sealed off from the outlet chamber.

Abstract

An adaptor assembly has a housing member having a flange intermediate a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion. An internal member is at least partially disposed within the housing. An air escape channel having an air entry and air exit is at least partially by the internal member. A filling channel having a filling orifice and an exit is at least partially by said internal member. A plurality of vents open through a surface of the housing, the vents are in fluid communication with a hollow formed by the housing. A valve having a valve stem and head in the housing. The valve has a closed position wherein the head is in sealing engagement with a surface of the housing. In the closed position said head seals off the filling orifice but does not seal off said air escape channel.
