Abstract:
A dual-purpose valve for a braking system includes a two-position hydraulic brake control valve coupled to a moveable valve member, a brake control chamber for holding fluid, a brake port for connecting to a brake cylinder, and a tank port for connecting to a fluid tank. Movement of the moveable valve member in a first direction towards a brake deactivation position from a neutral position maintains the hydraulic brake control valve in a closed state causes pressurised fluid flow from the brake control chamber to the brake port and thereby disengaging the braking system. Movement of the moveable valve member in a second direction towards a brake activation position from the neutral position alters the hydraulic brake control valve from a closed state to an open state, and permits pressurised fluid flow from the brake port to the tank port through the dual-purpose valve and thereby engaging the braking system.

Claim (Index 19):
The dual-purpose valve according to  claim 18 , wherein the internal fluid channel defines first and second spool ports at an outer surface of the moveable valve member, wherein the spool ports are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the moveable valve member, and wherein:\n the first bypass line is configured to be aligned with the first spool port when the hydraulic brake control valve is in an open state, and misaligned with the first spool port when the hydraulic brake control valve is in a closed state; and the second bypass line is configured to be aligned with the second spool port when the hydraulic brake control valve is in an open state, and misaligned with the second spool port when the hydraulic brake control valve is in a closed state.
