Abstract:
A cage for a down-hole valve for a hydrocarbon well has no internal guides for directing a ball as it travels from a closed position in which the ball is disposed against a ball seat to an open position where the ball is urged against a ball stop structure. The cage has an internal conical profile which inhibits ball sticking, reduces ball lift acceleration, and allows for a full-open flow area through the cage.
