ABSTRACT:
A high flow vacuum check valve incorporates a plurality of rubber dampening feet located on the sealing bead side of the valve poppet. The feet extend axially slightly beyond the sealing surface of the sealing bead so as to have an axial compression interference, the feet first engaging the valve seat as the valve poppet moves from its open position toward its closed position, and then compressing as the valve poppet continues its movement until the valve is fully closed with the sealing bead in full sealing engagement with the valve seat. This interference compression causes the feet to perform as rate changing springs so long as they are compressed to any extent, dampening axial movements of the valve poppet, and also act as stabilizing members on the valve poppet in the lateral plane. The feet may also be constructed with tiers which also contribute to the stability of the valve poppet.
