Title: Non-rising spindle gate valve
Inventor: TUCKER EALDEN
IPC: F16D9/08
Filed: 2010-12-23
Abstract: A non-rising stem type gate valve is disclosed. The valve comprises a body (2), a bonnet (3) connected to the body, a stem (4), a wedge (5) and a shear device (6). An upper end of the stem is connected to the shear device and a lower end of the stem is connected to the wedge. The shear device includes a cap (see 62, figures 6A & 6B) to receive operation torque by a user, a connection sleeve (see 65, figures 6A & 6B) to connect with the stem, and an insurance block to connect the cap and the connection sleeve. In use, if a torque greater than a pretermined torque is applied via the cap, the insurance block will shear, thereby disconnecting the cap and connection sleeve. This prevents over tightening of the valve, thereby preventing exessive operating torque being transferred to inner parts of the valve. This may reduce maintenance costs as the insurance block is more easily replaced than inner parts of the valve.
