A valve formed of a body, adapted to be clamped between flanges in a pipeline, having a flow passageway therethrough defining an annular valve seat, a valve disc assembly positioned in the flow passageway and movable between a closed and an open position, the disc having a peripheral sealing surface which engages the valve seat when the valve is closed and is turned 90 degrees so that its plane is parallel to the axis of the flow passageway, when it is open. A valve stem is provided and means for axially moving the valve stem through two coaxial valve stem openings in the body. Two cam systems are provided on the valve stem. The first serves to move the valve towards or away from the valve seat as the stem moves axially. The second serves to turn the valve stem through an angle of 90 degrees due to further axial motion of the stem. The valve disc assembly is supported on the valve stem such that it can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the stem, but cannot rotate with respect to the stem.

A valve comprising: (a) a body having a flow passageway therethrough defined in part by an annular valve seat and having upper and lower coaxial stem openings therein; (b) a valve disc assembly positioned in said flow passageway and movable between a closed and an opened position, the valve disc having a forward surface having a peripheral sealing surface and a rearward surface having a body portion attached thereto and having two vertical wall portions, spaced apart and parallel; (c) a cylindrical valve stem axially and rotatably positionable and sealed in said stem openings in said body, the stem being received between said disc body wall portions; (d) at a selected position along the portion of said stem which lies within said flow passageway are two cam channels cut in the surface of said stem, one on each side of said stem in contact with said disc body walls, said cam channels in a common plane, which intersects the axis of said stem at a selected acute angle; (e) two rectangular cam follower ridges adapted to slide in said cam channels, one on each of the surfaces of said walls at said selected acute angle, whereby when said stem is moved axially with respect to said disc assembly, the plane of said disc will move closer to or farther away from the axis of said stem; and (f) means for axially displacing and rotating said stem whereby said disc may be rotated to an open position wherein flow is permitted to either side of the disc, and to a closed position wherein flow is blocked.
