Patent

CA 2125516

A lock valve for marine hydraulic steering systems includes a valve body with a spool valve reciprocatingly received in a bore therein. A first port and a second port of the valve are connected to a manual pump. A third port and fourth port are connected to a double acting hydraulic cylinder connected to a rudder or steerable motor. There are valves within the lock valve which normally prevent fluid flowing between the ports so the steering system remains in a fixed position when the helm is released. Fluid can flow from the first port to the third port when the first port is pressurized. A return flow of fluid from the fourth port to the second port is permitted only when the first port is pressurized. When the second port is pressurized, fluid can flow from the second port to the fourth port. A return flow of fluid from the third port to the first port is permitted only when the second port is pressurized. The return flow of fluid on at least one side of the valve is controlled by passageways normally blocked by the valve spool which are uncovered when the valve spool is deflected by pressurized fluid at the first port or second port.
