Abstract
A control valve is provided which is adapted to be connected between a pressure source, such as vacuum pump, and a pressure vessel so as to control the pressure in the vessel. The valve comprises a housing having a longitudinal bore therethrough which is connected between the pump and vessel, and a transversely movable valve body which controls the air flow through an air inlet in the housing. The valve body includes cylindrical and conical shaped portions which cooperates with reciprocally shaped portions of the housing to provide flow control. A filter disposed in the air inlet filters out foreign matter in the air. The bottom end of the valve body screws into the valve housing control knob formed integrally with the valve body controls translation of the valve body and hence opening and closing of the valve.
