  • Patent number: 4061404
    Abstract: A valve for regulating the braking pressure applied to a wheel has a braking fluid inlet and a braking fluid outlet. A fluid passageway through the valve provides communication between the inlet and outlet. A first piston assembly is adapted to close the passageway upon the occurrence of a skid or an impending skid situation at the wheel. The first piston is also adapted to reopen the passageway upon removal of the skid or impending skid situation. A second piston assembly is adapted to partially restrict passage of fluid through the passageway upon the reopening of the passageway by the first piston assembly after the skid or an impending skid situation.
