  • Patent number: 3963050
    Abstract: A fluid valve operative based on a pressure differential through the utilization of different size pressure receiving piston faces. A first fluid, through pressure on an enlarged piston face, maintains a valve spool so shifted as to allow for a through passage of a second fluid. Upon a blocking of the first fluid, the second fluid, acting on a relatively smaller valve surface, actuates the valve and blocks through passage of the second fluid. The shifting of the valve presents yet a smaller pressure receiving face to the first fluid which, in conjunction with an exhaust port, provides a fail safe lock out requiring manual resetting of the relay.
