  • Patent number: 5329968
    Abstract: A shuttle valve is described which comprises a valve housing having an inlet and a plurality of outlets. An inner valve assembly is located within an internal cavity which is actuated by a shaft which extends from the internal cavity to a point external from the valve housing. The inner valve assembly comprises a valve disk having a surface which is spherical, at least in part, and a flow elbow, which is located 180.degree. away from the face of the valve disk. The valve disk and the flow elbow are connected to one another and to the shaft. The valve disk is further articulatable. The point which defines the axis of rotation of the shaft and the center point of a phantom sphere defined by the spherical surface of the valve disk, are eccentric, or displaced from one another.
