VALVE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18650980 titled 'VALVE DEVICE
The abstract describes a valve device with two valve elements that slide relative to each other to control the opening degree between two flow passages.
- The first valve element has a sliding surface facing the second valve element, and the second valve element has a sliding surface facing the first valve element.
- The sliding surfaces are designed to slide against each other to adjust the opening between the flow passages.
- At least one sliding surface has an edge portion joined to a sloped surface sloped at an acute angle relative to the mating sliding surface.
Potential Applications: - Industrial valves - Fluid control systems - Hydraulic systems

Original Abstract Submitted
A valve device includes a first valve element and a second valve element. The first valve element has a first sliding surface which is opposed to the second valve element. The second valve element has a second sliding surface which is opposed to the first valve element. The first sliding surface and the second sliding surface are configured to slide relative to each other to change an opening degree of an opening between a first flow passage and a second flow passage. An edge portion of at least one sliding surface among the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface is joined to a sloped surface which is sloped by an acute angle relative to a mating sliding surface which is another sliding surface among the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface and mates with the at least one sliding surface.
