发明名称 Valve for an inflatable structure
摘要 A valve comprising a valve body having an inlet and an outlet; a valve member moveable in a linear direction with respect to the valve body between a closed condition in which flow between the inlet and the outlet is restricted and an open condition; and an actuator coupled to the valve member such that the valve member is constrained to rotate with the actuator and is movable in the linear direction with respect to the actuator, wherein the valve is configured such that rotation of the actuator causes the valve member to move in the linear direction with respect to both the actuator and the valve body between the closed condition and the open condition.

主权项 1. A valve comprising: a valve body having a first part and a second part which are arranged to clamp a portion of a wall of an inflatable structure between the first part and the second part thereby securing the valve to the inflatable structure, the first part comprising an inlet and an outlet; a valve member moveable in a linear direction with respect to the valve body between a closed condition in which flow between the inlet and the outlet is restricted and an open condition; and an actuator coupled to the valve member such that the valve member is constrained to rotate with the actuator and is movable in the linear direction with respect to the actuator, wherein the valve is configured such that rotation of the actuator causes the valve member to move in the linear direction with respect to both the actuator and the valve body between the closed condition and the open condition, and wherein the second part of the valve body supports the actuator for rotation with respect to the valve body, the valve member being arranged with respect to the actuator and the second part of the valve body such that the position of the valve member in the linear direction with respect to the first part of the valve body is maintained when different thicknesses of wall of an inflatable structure are clamped between the first part and the second part of the valve body.
