GATE VALVE WITH POSITION RESPONSIVE INTERLOCK Abstract of Disclosure An improved gate valve of the expanding type wherein a gate and segment assembly having cooperative wedge surfaces are moved linearly between a pair of valve seats to block the flow therebetween in one position and open the flow in another, the fluid flowing through aligned ports in the gate and segment in such open position. The improvement lies in substituting for prior art springs a guide rail (28,28') fixed to the valve housing or body and extending parallel to the stroke of the movable members, together with a rocker arm (54) pivotally mounted on one member and having a slot (66) receiving a pin (58) out of the other. A pair of lobes (64) extend from the opposed ends of the rocker arm (54) and contact the guide member. When the gate and segment assembly are at any position be- tween the ends of its stroke, the rocker arm keeps both pairs of wedge surfaces tightly in contact, preventing any expansion. At either end position, one of the rocker lobes enters a gap in the guide rail, permitting the rocker to rotate and allowing wedging action between the two mem- bers to expand their overall thickness.
