  • Patent number: 4519578
    Abstract: A valve formed of a body having a flow passageway therethrough defining an annular valve seat, a valve disc member positioned in the flow passageway movable between a closed and open position, the disc having a peripheral sealing surface which engages the valve seat when the valve is closed and a valve stem axially and rotatably received in stem openings in the valve body, the stem extending within the flow passageway, the valve disc being between the stem and the valve seat and boss portions having slots therein extending from the disc rearward surface to either side of the valve stem, each boss portion having aligned upper and lower slots in parallel planes intersecting the plane of the disc sealing surface at an acute angle, and pin members extending from the stem received in the upper and lower slots so that when the pin member is axially displaced the disc is moved to and away from the seat and when it is moved away from the seat, the disc may be rotated without contacting the sealing ring to open the va

  • Patent number: 4482128
    Abstract: A valve formed of a body, adapted to be clamped between flanges in a pipeline, having a flow passageway therethrough defining an annular valve seat, a valve disc assembly positioned in the flow passageway and movable between a closed and an open position, the disc having a peripheral sealing surface which engages the valve seat when the valve is closed and is turned 90 degrees so that its plane is parallel to the axis of the flow passageway, when it is open. A valve stem is provided and means for axially moving the valve stem through two coaxial valve stem openings in the body. Two cam systems are provided on the valve stem. The first serves to move the valve towards or away from the valve seat as the stem moves axially. The second serves to turn the valve stem through an angle of 90 degrees due to further axial motion of the stem. The valve disc assembly is supported on the valve stem such that it can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the stem, but cannot rotate with respect to the stem.
