Abstract
The present invention aims at simplifying maintenance, mounting and disassembly operations which are required with valves, and in particular with check valves. Thus, the present invention proposes a solution according to which the closing element (101) of the valve is rotatably fixed to the valve cover (200) so that said cover and said closing element can be simultaneously mounted back by means of a single operation.
Claims15
Valve, in particular check valve adapted to regulate the flow of a fluid, said valve comprising a main body which defines an internal flow cavity adapted to allow said fluid to flow through its inside, said valve (100) further comprising a closing element of said cavity, which can be moved between a first closing position and a second opening position of said cavity, said valve further comprising a cover adopted to be alternatively fixed to and removed from said main body so as to alternatively close and open an aperture of said main body through which said cavity is into communication with the outside of said valve, characterized in that, said closing element is fixed to said cover, so that by removing said cover from said main body said closing element is simultaneously removed too.
