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 18):
A valve comprising\n means for defining a fluid flow passageway between an inlet and an outlet; means for providing a valve seat positioned in the fluid flow passageway between the inlet and the outlet; means for modulating fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet, the means for modulating fluid flow to move between an open position and a closed position relative to the means for providing the valve seat; and means for allowing fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet when the means for modulating fluid flow is in the closed position.
