  • Valve vent
    Patent number: 4951918
    Abstract: A valve assembly has a valve operting button with an outwardly extending button flange received in a cavity. Liquid entering the cavity floats the button to move the button flange into engagement with a surface, and this tends to seal the cavity and cause liquid pressure buildup therein. A venting path between the button flange & the surface it engages prevents sealing of the cavity, and prevents liquid pressure buildup therein.
