Abstract
An aspirator may comprise an aspirator body defining an air channel, an aspirator inlet disposed in the aspirator body whereby the air channel receives a compressed fluid, a venting aperture disposed in the aspirator body in fluid communication with the air channel, and a venting valve disposed in the venting aperture. The venting valve is in an open position and the venting valve moves to a closed position in response to the compressed fluid being received by the aspirator.
Claims20
An aspirator, comprising:
- an aspirator body defining an air channel;
- an aspirator inlet disposed in the aspirator body whereby the air channel receives a compressed fluid;
- a venting aperture disposed in the aspirator body in fluid communication with the air channel;
- and
- a venting valve disposed in the venting aperture, wherein the venting valve is in an open position and the venting valve moves to a closed position in response to the compressed fluid being received by the aspirator, and the air channel is configured to receive the compressed fluid with the venting valve in the closed position.
2 more elements
An evacuation system, comprising:
- an aspirator coupled to an inflatable evacuation device;
- and
- a compressed fluid source coupled to the aspirator via a pipe assembly,
- wherein the aspirator comprises:
- an aspirator body defining an air channel;
- an aspirator inlet disposed in the aspirator body whereby the air channel receives a compressed fluid from the compressed fluid source;
- a venting aperture disposed in the aspirator body in fluid communication with the air channel;
- and
- a venting valve disposed in the venting aperture, herein the venting valve is in an open position and the venting valve moves to a closed position in response to the compressed fluid being received by the aspirator, and the air channel is configured to receive the compressed fluid with the venting valve in the closed position.
6 more elements
An aspirator method, comprising;
- coupling a venting valve to an aspirator vent disposed in an aspirator body, wherein the venting valve is in fluid communication with an aspirator inlet disposed in the aspirator body and the venting valve is in fluid communication with an air channel defined by the aspirator body, wherein the venting valve is in an open position and the venting valve is configured to move to a closed position in response to a compressed fluid being received by the aspirator, and the air channel is configured to receive the compressed fluid with the venting valve in the closed position.
