Claims9
A combination lock and remote control valve comprising a valve body containing a valve chamber and spaced ports, an actuator and concentric telescopically mounted sleeve in the valve chamber, said actuator and sleeve containing openings adapted at times to be oriented with respect to said spaced ports in the valve body to provide for a continuous passage through the valve body, means for rotating the actuator and moving it axially in the chamber, said sleeve containing an internal axial groove, means normally releasably locking the sleeve in a predetermined position, a pin fixed to the actuator movable with the actuator in rotation to position it opposite said axial groove in the sleeve at said predetermined position and axially along said groove to disable said last means, said actuator being thereafter rotatable to effect rotation of the released sleeve to align the openings in the sleeve with said spaced ports, movable axially to lock the sleeve in its open position, rotatable to align the openings therein with the openings in the sleeve and, finally, axially to engage the pin with the sleeve to lock the several components in the open position of the valve.
