ABSTRACT:
An empty-load valve device has a single housing competing coaxially a load sensing push rod, a load sensing piston, a ratio piston, a ratio valve and a spring for retracting the push rod to a normal position. The load sensing push rod actuates the ratio piston to open an equalizing valve to fill an equalizing volume from a control valve and to permit the ratio piston to limit brake cylinder pressure upon sensing an empty car.
