Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0709577A1] The valve (1) has four coupling ports (A,B,C,D) of which the first and second (A,B) are designed to connect directly or indirectly to a fluid feed source (2), while the third and fourth (C,D) are designed to connect directly or indirectly with an actuator (3). The valve incorporates a distributor (4) with four ports (A',B',C',D'), of which the first, second and fourth are connected to the corresponding ports of the valve, and two separate positions (5,6) governed by a control member (13). In the first position (5) a first non-return valve (9) allows fluid to flow from the first port (A') to the third port (C'), while the second and fourth ports (B',D') are in direct communication, and in the second position (6) the third and fourth ports (C',D') are in direct communication, and a second non-return valve (12) allows fluid to circulate from the third and fourth ports (C',D') towards the third one. A third non-return valve (15) allows fluid to circulate only between the second port (B') of the distributor and the corresponding port (B) of the valve.
