  • Automatic valve
    Patent number: 6581632
    Abstract: In a poppet valve the guide attachment (2) of each sealing member (1) together with the spring (5) is arranged and supported in a cup-like suspension member (8) inserted in a continuous receiving bore (15) in the catcher plate (3) and is guided with its external periphery at least in part directly on the internal periphery of the suspension member (8), as a result of which the guide length of the sealing member (1) and thus the length of stroke thereof becomes independent of the thickness of the catcher plate (3). As a result, the production, assembly and storage are simplified and new fields of application for valves of this type are opened up.
