Abstract: A plunger (45) and a piston (46) are displaceably held in a housing (104) for opening and closing a valve path (107) defined in the housing (104), and a single common seat block (44) provided for the plunger (45) and the piston (46) is fixed to the housing (104) and has seat portions (47) each formed from a soft material for respective of the plunger (45) and the piston (46) to be pressed thereon. This arrangement provides a valve device which is simplified in structure and can be manufactured with reduced man-hour.

Abstract: An anti-reaction valve device is configured to open such that a plunger and a sheet member move away from each other in association with first and second set difference pressures. Two anti-reaction valve devices are provided between two pipes fluidically connected to a hydraulically powered actuator such that directional relationship of connection of primary and secondary ports is reversed between the two anti-reaction valve devices so that a reaction of the actuator is inhibited quickly and reliably. A one-way valve is positioned between the secondary port and an open and close control chamber within which the plunger and the sheet member are movable into contact with and away from each other and serves to inhibit a back flow of a hydraulic fluid. The one-way valve is capable of inhibiting the plunger and the sheet member from moving away from each other undesirably, and hence malfunction of the anti-reaction valve devices.

Abstract: A pressure reducing valve 20 is constructed such that a piston 22 is provided within a housing 21 provided with a primary port 28 and a secondary port 30 to form a primary pressure chamber 64 of a primary pressure P1 and a secondary pressure chamber 70 of a secondary pressure P2 which are connected to each other through an orifice 63. The piston 22 is subjected to the primary pressure P1 applied in one direction X1 in the axial direction and the secondary pressure P2 applied in the opposite direction X2 in the axial direction. A spring 23 exerts a force to the piston 22 in the direction X1. A back pressure chamber 55 is kept at the primary pressure P1 to cause the primary pressure P1 to be applied to the piston 22 in the opposite direction X2.

Abstract: To downsize a high-pressure tank apparatus comprising: a high-pressure tank in which high-pressure gas is charged; and a valve mechanism including a regulator valve for reducing the gas pressure in the tank, to prevent damage to the valve mechanism, and to facilitate the handling of the valve mechanism and the like, the valve mechanism is provided at a gas outlet of the high-pressure tank to locate inside of the tank. The valve mechanism includes a capsule fixedly attached to the gas outlet in a gas-tight manner to face the inside of the high-pressure tank. Within the capsule, a shut-off valve for providing and interrupting communication between the inside and outside of the tank by its opening and closing, respectively, and a regulator valve for reducing the pressure of the high-pressure gas in the tank are disposed.
