Abstract:
Valve trim apparatus for use with fluid valves are disclosed. An example valve trim apparatus includes a cage to be positioned in a fluid flow passageway of a valve body. The cage has a cage body defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The cage has an opening extending through the body between the first end and the second end. A valve seat is positioned in the opening of the cage body between the first end and the second end of the cage body. The valve trim apparatus is to allow fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet when the fluid valve is in a closed position.

Claim (Index 10):
A valve comprising:\n a valve body defining a fluid flow passageway between an inlet and an outlet, the fluid flow passageway defining an orifice; a cage positioned in the fluid flow passageway, the cage having a cage body defining an opening and a valve seat positioned in the opening between a first end of the cage body and a second end of the cage body opposite the first end; and a valve plug movably coupled relative to the cage body, the opening of the cage body to receive the valve plug when the valve plug moves between an open position at which the valve plug is spaced away from the valve seat and a closed position at which the valve plug is in sealing engagement with the valve seat, wherein the valve plug is to modulate fluid flow through the fluid flow passageway when the valve plug moves between the open position and the closed position, and wherein the cage is to allow fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet when the valve plug is in sealing engagement with the valve seat.
