<p>A pressure operated shut-off valve for controlling a pneumatic circuit for instance a supply passage of a pneumatic tool, in response to the motive air supply pressure. The valve comprises a valve body that is continuously biased in its closing direction by a spring means and in its opening diection by the motive air supply pressure. If the air pressure drops below a predetermined minimum value the valve is automatically shifted to a closed position by the load of the spring means. A valve body controlled passage means supplies pressure air to the rear end of the valve body as the latter occupies its closed position, thereby making the closed position stable.</p> |
