ABSTRACT:
A check valve which opens and closes a flow path according to pressure differences includes a valve body having a thin annular portion which is flexible in a direction towards an annular seat of a valve body seal member, to close the flow path when seated on the annular seat. A valve body supporting member allows the thin annular portion to bend thereby defining a space between a periphery of the thin annular portion and the seat. A spring applies its elastic force to the valve body so that the valve body is seated on the seat closing the flow path, and a part of the thin annular portion corresponding to a predetermined range of central angles of the annular seat is bent-off the annular seat earlier than the other portions thereof when a pressure greater than the elastic force of the spring is applied to the valve body. Thus, the valve is prevented from being vibrated slightly and accordingly from producing noise when operated.
