Housing assembly

摘要

The present invention provides a lounge valve mounting housing (11) and assembly. The housing (11) and assembly are useful for directing air through ducts, and particularly the assembly is useful for directing air, or other fluid, through Y-shaped junctions. The housing (11) comprises in part a plate (15) and a supported platform (18). The plate (15) mounts to a duct. An actuator assembly can be affixed to the platform (18). The housing (11) further includes a cylinder (22); a shaft (13) is disposed within the cylinder (22) and extends into the duct. A flapper (14) affixed to the shaft (13) can direct air depending on the radial position of the shaft (13). The housing and assembly provide weight and capital advantages over dual valve assemblies.
