ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a hydraulic control apparatus of the type used in vehicle steering systems. In all such systems there is a reversible type hydraulic motor connected to the steering linkage. The motor has complementary expansible chambers. With the use of control means pressurized fluid is selectively delivered to one chamber which is caused to expand concomitantly with the collapsing of the other chamber from which fluid is returned to a sump. Forces transmitted to the hydraulic motor through the steering linkage by reason of the wheels striking objects such as stones or curbs cause an objectionable effect by reason of fluid being forced out of the motor back into the system. This effect is avoided by providing two valve assemblies for the two ports of the reversible motor which function in the absence of a steering command as ordinary one way check valves which prevent the undesired flow of fluid from either of the motor ports. Each of the valve assemblies has pressure responsive means and is openable when the pressure responsive means is acted upon by pressure. The pressure responsive means of each valve assembly is fluidly connected to the upstream side of the other valve assembly so that both valve assemblies will be open during the normal power steering operation wherein pressurized fluid is admitted to one side of the actuating motor and withdrawn from the other side thereof.
