Subsurface well safety valve
This patent describes a valve for controlling the flow in a fluid transmission conduit in a subteranean well comprising a tubular valve housing defining an axial fluid passage, a valve closure member shiftably mounted in the valve housing for movement between an open and closed position relative to the fluid passage, resilient means biasing the valve closure member to the closed position, a valve-actuator sleeve concentrically mounted within the tubular valve housing for axial movements between two positions relative to the valve closure member, in one of the positions holding the valve closure member in the open position and in the other of the two positions permitting the valve closure member to close and fluid pressure operated means for axially shifting the valve actuator sleeve to the one position.
