Abstract
A flow volume control device for a power assisted steering device having a main control valve device, whose main valve spool is movable to establish the communication of an inlet passage with a bypass passage when the flow rate of pressurized fluid supplied from an engine-driven pump to the steering device through the inlet passage and first and second throttle passages disposed in parallel relation exceeds a predetermined value. For safe driving at a high speed, an auxiliary control valve device is further provided, whose auxiliary valve spool is moved to close the second throttle passage when high-speed driving causes pressurized fluid from the pump to increase in volume, to thereby bring about a predetermined pressure drop across said inlet passage.
