Abstract
A valve, particularly a pressure relief valve for the lubricating oil filter of an internal combustion engine, which includes a valve plate 11, a valve body 10 cooperating with the valve plate, a valve spring 14 and a valve hood 15, the valve spring 14 being supported on the valve hood 15 and exerting a force on the valve plate to seal the opening between the valve plate and the valve body. A cylindrical guide 24 is provided at the upper end of the valve hood, and the valve plate 11 contains a blind bore 25 which receives the cylindrical guide in order to guide the valve plate.
Claims5
A valve comprising a cylindrical valve body having a valve opening therethrough, a valve plate having a valve seat thereon cooperating with said valve body to close said valve opening, a valve hood secured to said valve body enclosing said valve plate, and a spring disposed between said valve hood and said valve plate for urging said valve plate against said valve body to seal said valve opening;
- wherein said valve body has at an end facing said valve seat a bead margin under which a flange on said valve hood is crimped to secure said valve hood to said valve body;
- wherein said valve seat comprises a frustoconical surface which contacts a corresponding frustoconical surface of a central bore which defines said valve opening in said valve body;
- wherein a screw thread is arranged circumferentially around said cylindrical valve body for securing said valve body in a fluid passageway, and wherein said valve plate is provided with at least three guide surfaces which have radial lengths smaller than the radius of said bore and which are received in said bore for guiding said valve plate.
