Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A valve comprising a body having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, an opening between said inlet and said outlet, and having a conical wall surface, a displaceable resilient membrane sealed around its periphery to said body around said opening, said displaceable resilient membrane cooperating with said body to form a sealed chamber therewithin, partially defined by said conical wall surface, a valve seat within said body between said inlet and said outlet and below said displaceable membrane, said displaceable resilient membrane displaceable to engage said seat to control flow from said inlet to said outlet, a stem movable to displace and release said displaceable resilient membrane, and a presser member loosely retained within said chamber between the lower end of said stem and said displaceable resilient member and supported solely by the latter, said presser member having a conical surface outer periphery for sealed engagement with said conical surface on the body in the valve full open position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
