Abstract

A reed valve includes a reed member fixed to a valve body and a stopper member which is fixed at one end thereof to the valve body together with the reed member. The stopper member is constituted by a flat plate-shaped member which is curved outwardly from the one end to its free end, and a lump member which is secured to the surface of the flat plate-shaped member on the side thereof which is remote from the reed member. The lump member has a shape which is substantially coincident with the shape of a space which is formed on the downstream side of the reed valve and does not virtually take part in the flow of intake. The lump member is disposed within the space.
