Abstract
An internal safety valve for preventing the discharge chute from rapidly falling due a sudden loss of hydraulic fluid pressure. A safety valve assembly for use in a hydraulic cylinder consisting of a safety valve located in the barrel of a hydraulic cylinder. The moveable piston of the hydraulic cylinder has a cavity for receiving the safety valve therein.
