A pressure releasing valve structure 36″ is provided for a fluid operated device 10. The device has an orifice 42 constructed and arranged to be in fluid communication with a pressure chamber C. The valve structure includes a body 49 having first and second ends. A valve member 40 is provided at the first end of the body and is constructed and arranged to seal the orifice 42. A first spring 38 is associated with the first end of the body and is constructed and arranged to cause the valve member 40 to seal the orifice 42 under first pressure conditions in the pressure chamber C. A second spring 50 is associated with the second end of the body and is constructed and arranged to compress thereby reducing a force exerted by the first spring 38, permitting the valve member 40 to move to a non-sealing position to open the orifice under pressure conditions in the pressure chamber C lower than would be required absent the provision of the second spring.

A pressure releasing valve structure for a fluid operated device, the device having an orifice constructed and arranged to be in fluid communication with a pressure chamber, the valve structure comprising:a body having first and second ends,a valve member at the first end of the body constructed and arranged to seal the orifice,a first spring associated with the first end of the body and constructed and arranged to cause the valve member to seal the orifice under certain pressure conditions in the pressure chamber, anda second spring associated with the second end of the body and constructed and arranged to compress thereby reducing a force exerted by the first spring, permitting the valve member to move to a non-sealing position to open the orifice under pressure conditions in the pressure chamber lower than would be required absent the provision of the second spring.2. The valve structure of claim 1, wherein the body is disposed in a conduit such that under certain conditions, an amount of fluid may enter the conduit and be directed to a portion of the device.3. The valve structure of claim 1, wherein the valve member is a ball valve.4. The valve member of claim 1, further comprising a nut, the first end of the body being constructed and arranged to be threaded into the nut thereby compressing the first spring and thus biasing the valve structure such that the valve member seals the orifice under the certain pressure conditions.5. The valve member of claim 1, further comprising an adjustment nut near the second end of the body constructed and arranged to adjust travel of the valve structure.6. The valve structure of claim 5, further comprising a housing, wherein the second spring is provided between a surface of the adjustment nut and a seating surface defined in the housing, the housing being constructed and arranged to move thereby compressing the second spring.7. The valve structure of claim 1, wherein the second spring is constructed and arranged such that when the second spring is substantially fully compressed, the valve member moves to the non-sealing position.8. The device of claim 1, wherein the second spring is constructed and arranged such that when the second spring is substantially fully compressed, the valve member moves to the non-sealing position.9. A pressure releasing valve structure for a fluid operated device, the device having an orifice constructed and arranged to be in fluid communication with a pressure chamber, the valve structure comprising:a body having first and second ends,first means, at the first end of the body, for sealing the orifice,second means, associated with the first end of the body, for causing the first means to seal the orifice under certain pressure conditions in the pressure chamber, andthird means, associated with the second end of the body, for reducing a force exerted by the second means, thereby permitting the first means to move to a non-sealing position to open the orifice under pressure conditions in the pressure chamber lower than would be require absent the provision of the third means.10. The valve structure of claim 9, wherein the body is disposed in a conduit such that under certain conditions, an amount of fluid may enter the conduit and be directed to a portion of the device.11. The valve structure of claim 9, wherein the first means is a ball valve.12. The valve member of claim 9, further comprising a nut and wherein the second means is a first spring, the first end of the body being constructed and arranged to be threaded into the nut thereby compressing the first spring and thus causing first means to seal the orifice under the certain pressure conditions.13. The valve member of claim 9, further comprising an adjustment nut near the second end of the body constructed and arranged to adjust travel of the valve structure.14. The valve structure of claim 13, further comprising a housing and wherein the third means is a second spring provided between a surface of the adjustment nut and a seating surface defined in the housing.15. The valve structure of claim 9, wherein the second spring is constructed and arranged such that when the second spring is substantially fully compressed, the first means moves to the non-sealing position.16. A fluid operated device comprising:surfaces defining a pressure chamber constructed and arranged to contain fluid,surfaces defining an orifice in fluid communication with the pressure chamber, anda valve structure comprising:a body having first and second ends,a valve member at the first end of the body constructed and arranged to seal the orifice,a first spring associated with the first end of the body and constructed and arranged to cause the valve member to seal the orifice under certain pressure conditions in the pressure chamber, anda second spring associated with the second end of the body and constructed and arranged to compress thereby reducing a force exerted by the first spring.17. The device of claim 16, wherein the body is disposed in a conduit such that under certain conditions, an amount of fluid may enter the conduit and be directed to a portion of the device.18. The device of claim 16, wherein the valve member is a ball valve.19. The device of claim 16, further comprising a nut, the first end of the body being constructed and arranged to be threaded into the nut thereby compressing the first spring and thus biasing the valve structure such that the valve member seals the orifice under the first pressure conditions.20. The device of claim 16, further comprising an adjustment nut near the second end of the body constructed and arranged to adjust travel of the valve structure.21. The device of claim 20, further comprising a housing, wherein the second spring is provided between a surface of the adjustment nut and a seating surface defined in the housing, the housing being constructed and arranged to move thereby compressing the second spring.
