Abstract
The check valve employs a helical tension spring which is connected at one end to the valve lid on the axis of the valve lid and at the opposite end via a ring on the axis of the valve body. Wedge-shaped elements are provided in the lid to engage with an annular groove in the spring and similar wedge-shaped elements are provided in a hub of the ring to engage with the second end of the spring. A rubber member may also be inserted within the windings of the spring to reduce the flow cross section through the valve body.
