Abstract
The valve component comprises a valve member movable between an open position and a closed position. The valve component comprises a valve control mechanism including a drive member that moves the valve member. The drive member rotates the valve member between the open position and an intermediate position and linearly moves the valve member between the intermediate position and the closed position. The valve control mechanism includes a cam to drive the drive member. The cam includes a cam slot to engage the drive member. The cam slot includes a recess to receive the drive member in the closed position of the valve member so that the recess locates the drive member to resist or prevent linear movement of the valve member away from the valve closed position towards the valve intermediate position.
