Abstract
Abstract A pressure control valve including a valve, a spring for pressing the valve, and a power input means for compressing the spring further comprises a backup force-generating mechanism for producing and directing a backup force counter to the direction in which the reaction force due to the compression of the spring is exerted on the input means, so as to impart the backup force to the input means.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
In a pressure control valve including a valve, a spring for pressing the valve, and a power input means for compressing the spring, the improvement which comprises a backup force-generating mechanism for producing and directing a backup force counter to the direction in which the reaction force due to the compression of said spring is exerted on said input means, so as to impart said backup force to said input means said backup force-generating mechanism comprising a cam for backup force generation connected to said power input means to turn in proportion to the amount of input displacement of said input means, and a cam presser means for producing a cam-turning force that varies with the turning of said cam.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
