Abstract
Abstract The direction control valve comprises a housing having a stepped central boring for accommodating a sliding control piston having a section of larger diameter and a section of smaller diameter. The housing defines two load ports each communicating with an assigned boring section through an annular gap. One load port is directly connectable through its annular gap with a pressure releasing or venting port and the other load port is connectable to the same venting port through a central passage in the piston.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
In a direction control valve, particularly for use in connection with a pneumatic load, a combination comprising a housing having a first load port, a second load port, a pressure port and a control port and formed with a central opening; a control piston movable in said opening along said ports; a single venting port, said control piston having an end portion, and being formed with an axial boring adapted to communicate with said venting port and a radial boring arranged in communication with said axial boring and adapted to communicate with one of said load ports to connect the same with said venting port, a channel defined by said axial boring adapted to connect said second load port with said venting port; and throttling means including an adjustable throttling bolt, said end portion of said control piston being provided with a tubular projection with an outer edge facing said throttling bolt and having a central passage being in axial alignment with said axial boring, and further including an axially displaceable throttling collar cooperating with the outer edge of said tubular projection to produce an adjustable gap for said second load port.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
93 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, wherein said central opening defines two sections of different diameters, and said control piston is a differential piston having one part of larger diameter and another part of a smaller diameter, said diameters of said control piston corresponding to said diameters of said sections, each section having an annular gap communicating with an assigned load port, each part of said control piston having on its periphery sealing means arranged for cooperation with respective annular gaps to open one load port and close the other load port.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination as defined in claim 2, wherein the clearance of each annular gap in axial direction is smaller than the contact area of said sealing rings with said central boring.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, wherein said housing is provided with a threaded element for supporting said throttling collar, said threaded element having a central passage aligned with the passage of said tubular projection and being provided with internal threads for engaging said throttling bolt.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, wherein said throttling bolt has a conical tip for adjusting with the inner edge of said tubular projection a throttling passage.
