Abstract:
A pressure regulator includes a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected by a fluid passageway. An orifice is disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A valve seat is disposed within the fluid passageway. A movable valve plug is disposed within the fluid passageway, and the valve plug interacts with the valve seat to selectively open or close the fluid passageway. A cage is disposed in the fluid passageway, the cage surrounds the valve plug, and the cage includes a mechanical stop that limits movement of the valve plug within the cage away from the valve seat.

Claim (Index 1):
A pressure regulator comprising:\n a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected by a fluid passageway, and an orifice being disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet; a valve seat disposed within the fluid passageway; a movable valve plug, the valve plug being disposed within the fluid passageway, the valve plug interacting with the valve seat to selectively open or close the fluid passageway, the valve plug including an annular ridge; and a cage disposed in the fluid passageway, the cage surrounding the valve plug, the cage including a mechanical stop, the annular ridge and the mechanical stop sized to engage one another to thereby limit movement of the valve plug relative to the cage in a direction away from the valve seat.
