Abstract:
A valve configured to selectively communicate fluid pressure therethrough includes a valve body having an inlet, an inlet bore extending inwardly of the body from the inlet, a reduced diameter bore, a cam bore, and an outlet bore therein, the outlet bore in fluid communication with the cam bore, and the cam bore including a sloped wall therein extending inwardly on the cam bore in the direction away from the inlet bore, a first piston disposed in the a reduced diameter bore and including a piston passage therethrough fluidly communicating between the inlet bore and the cam bore, a cam disposed in the cam bore and having a self-energizing seal and a lower angled surface engagable against the sloped wall, the self-energizing seal disposed in a seal piston bore therein, and an outlet extending to the exterior of the valve body and opening into the lower angled surface.
